Yes, once uploaded to your gallery, you simply paste them into the Entries thread

Hmm...something not right! i can't paste into thread even when unblocking

desborokev. If it is in your PR gallery click to the picture. Open another window with the entry thread. In the entry thread click on the little icon that looks like mountains for insert picture. This should open a little box for you to put a link to picture in. Depending on your settings you may have to look at top and give temporary permission to open the window and click on picture icon again. On the gallery picture window click on the enlarge icon (magnifying glass) top right corner. Right click on picture and copy the picture address. Then put this text into the little window opened on the entry thread. Your picture should then be there. If you want to put a title on it put that in the reply box first or edit later if you forget.

No Wetherby races tomorrow cos of snow and frost so i`ll be aiming to set up the poll around noon - so get those entries in. Looks like our subject or the new year alcohol has done for everyone !

Sorry to be a skunk Del, but I don't have an entry for this challenge. I couldn't work out how to photograph 'do the same as always'.

Good luck to all those who have entered.

I'll take the award for "most tenuous link to the brief" for my effort.

Frustratingly when I went to upload the picture to my gallery I was somehow linked to another user's gallery rather than my own. Rather than infect that poor person's gallery with my dross I linked to a copy on flickr instead. I logged out and in again with no success. Anyone else having this problem?

That happened to me last week but everything was fine when I logged back in the second time

I think I have figured out your problem - When you copy the http: address from the photo properties box, you are not getting all the info (because the pic title is longer than usual?) - Place the cursor into the box and move it to the very end before you select ; as you need the whole http: to .jpg bit.

Thanks for that. Well the good news is I can now see my own gallery, the bad news is that my browser is dying when I attempt to upload. I may give it another try in the morning. Or possibly not.

Happy New Year to all.

These are difficult!

BR: Get out before 11? Get up before 11? Wash up before 11?
OL: Don't get bogged down?
SS: ??? Expand my pebble collection?? Sorry, I can't think of anything else!
