New processor.

[Oilybloke]

My new processor is nearly finished and have mocked up (but could well be mucked up) the pipework layout. I am too much of a luddite to post pictures here, but would be happy to mail them to somebody who has the necessary skills, and would appreciate any comments on the proposed set-up.

[Julian]

Email them to me, I'll happily make constructive comments and then post them on here so everyone can have a laugh!

Seriously though, Chug, some years ago started a thread on the VOD "Don't be afraid to admit your mistakes".  That started an avalanche of people posting stuff, most of which were really silly, embarrassing mistakes.  I learned as much from that thread as I had reading numerous "look what I've managed to do threads".

Publish and be damned.  You'll be far better of with a collective answer than just one.

Many thanks Julian, 'preciated! Can you pm me your email address? And yes, I am expecting some ribbing...........

[Julian]

You should be able to pick it up from my profile, or you could send them via Skype if you use that, details alos in my profile.

Oily....try this. I helped someone on the VOD with this same problem:

Go to tinypic.com

The" upload Images and video's" page should come up.
Click the browse button. This will give you access to all your files.
Once you find the photo you want click "open" and the image details will be transfered to the file box on the tinypics page.

In the file type:
Image
Video
url
Click Image.

In the Resize box click the drop down list and select Message Board (640x480)

Click "upload now"

Follow the anti spam instructions....usually type in what you see on the screen and click "up load now".

Copy the IMG code forums and message boards (second one down) and paste that code into your post on the forum. The photo comes up....as if by magic!

If you're on Chrome it may be an issue......if you're on Firefox it wont be.

Nige, many thanks, but I have lost count of the times that this has been explained to me and have tried to master it. I just don't get it. I can't do it. I am a failure. No matter what I do, it doesn't work for me. I know it's me, but it's where technology & me part company. Sometimes, one has to understand that there are things beyond our capabilities, and this is one of them for me. I can happily bore the arse off you about Latin noun declensions, but upload pictures from another site?.......nah........

[Julian]

Nick ... got the photos ... Ha, ha, ha, haaaaaaa !!!!  Seriously, there's no reason not to put them up, looks pretty good at first glance.  I'll host them up as suggested by Nige ... by the way, what material is the processor tank made of?

Nige, if you don't mind can we elaborate on your instructions with a few screen grabs ... A picture speaks a thousands words.  We could either make it a sticky on the forum or do a wiki page. Personally I think a wiki page might be best.  Perhaps combine it with a how to page on uploading photos for the wiki too.

come on dont keep us in suspenders 

[Oilybloke]

Cheers Julian! The tank is papier mache, or stainless steel, I can't quite remember which. I'm kinda hoping it's SS. It cost me 200 bucks, so let's go with SS.

If you know how to do screen grabs then be my guest.....me, not a scooby doo!

I do know that that the guy who I was helping could not use the instructions I posted because he used Chrome as his borwser. As soon as he downloaded Firefox it was all plain sailing.

Can't you see them?

Yeah, it's really tricky, Nige.  Only highly experienced programmers can do it ...

On your keyboard you have a button "Print screen" usually above the home, end delete group.  Press that then go to your favourate graphics package, or "Paint" or even MS Word and click paste ... but don't tell everyone, 'cos they'll be a clever as us then!

No, no pictures of pipework or Paul in suspenders.

Are you and Paul in the super elite group or just standard, pleb members?
