    Default a quick bit of paint...

    having owned the car for ages, and used it on a daily basis, i have a wear mark on the drivers sill, just where the back of my leg leans against it as i get out the car.... thus....



    so with the hideous warm weather last saturday, and no steampunk hats needed!, i set to....

    flat back the offending area, and mask off...


    dust in some colour...


    lacquered and wait for it to dry!

    a quick test, as it seems freebie photobucket accounts can't be used to host pics anymore.... seems pointless having photobucket then!

    anyway, trying the google cloud link....



    well that's tiny......



    better!

    i know, but there are many reports of photobucket recently changing their terms (without warning), or being hacked, and many broken links appearing on other forums.....

    from photobucket terms and cobblers....

    only the $399.99 plan allows linking and hosting.... does make you wonder why they still have a box that allows you to copy code to post in a forum with every pic, despite my account being a free one!!!

    their facebook page is quite 'agitated' shall we say!


    also... have you noticed the huge number of ads on photobucket that have appeared in the last couple of weeks...,

    Thanks for the clarification, Britlude!

    I dunno if it's because I have adblocker plus, or I have developed an ability to zone out of adverts that I no longer see them.

    Yes, the copy/paste into IMG seems to have become unreliable if you use the buttons; that may be linked. But it is all a bit baffling.

    Still, it's a free market (until it gets regulated out of existence) so if they want to destroy their business, fine with me.

    Thanks, Pride!

    I am indeed - it was merely a test.

    I generally find though, it seems quicker & less keystrokier to have most of them in one place and type the [img] bits round the link, since I am too retarded to Go Advanced when posting.
