Also is it just me but I can't seem to put an image in a PM.
No Ash, I'm pretty sure it's not just you.
Only way seems to be to get the email address of the member and send the image that way.

There is a little icon though which suggest you can insert an  image but does nothing and its exactly the same on the USA .net site.

What icon is that Ash?
If I click on the little envelope at the bottom of your details at the left of a post I get the Send Email page, but all I get is a little box for the email subject and a bigger one for the message plus the 'Send' button. I think that has always been how it has been for me.

You can't attach an image to a PM - it's not an email, although it does send an email notification. You can insert an image but only if it is hosted somewhere (ie you insert the url between the IMG tags and the image will appear in the body of the message).

The send email icon just uses the forum's rudimentary email programme - it's not like using Outlook.

Hi Steve,

I can't add anything to this debate, but love the concept of the SOHC library. Current version looks great.

Can anyone upload suitable documents or only you as administrator?

Cheers and thanks, D.

It's a Wordpress site Drew, so I could elevate anyone who is prepared to help so that they could add files to the site.

Volunteers?

I don't have much raw material, but I have used Wordpress before and so happy to help if I can. Cheers, D.

I volunteer, I can scan and convert to PDF my manuals; I have a couple, a FSM  for the 350F and the 1971 CB500/4 with the blue cover. including the Haynes manuals though I'm not sure about the copyright aspect of some of material? ..

I'm off to Florence for a week in the morning (that's the place in Italy - not Steve in Somerset...)

When I get back, I'll be in touch with all the eager volunteers and set you up as admins on the info site.

Happy days!

New menu item: "Aladdin's Cave" just to the left of the Logout button.

Now all we need is a bunch of happy admins to help fill it with treasure!
