A few questions about the new devices

Well I'd agree with that but I've never experienced that, sometimes onto perfectly good 'country roads' though

I don't mind some country lanes, but the type I object to being sent down are those like in the examples I provided in my opening post. In my view, there is nothing sensible about being diverted off a dual-track road, to be sent down one of those, where you are lucky to average 30mph, even if you don't meet oncoming traffic and where you risk damaging your car, or at the very least, getting it really dirty.

By the way, how do you get the pictures to actually appear in your post, rather than just displaying the link?

[Kremmen]

You need to insert a link to a host site like Imgur.

Here is a Imgur link:

To get it to work, copy it and add a square bracket to the start and end. When you do it will look like:

I've modified the link to follow the pattern you showed, but it still doesn't work.

While on the subject, I did need to upload picture from my laptop a few times but never been able to find out how. Any pointers?

The subject was covered two posts ago. Did you not read Kremmen's post telling you exactly how to do it?

Then you did something wrong @cottonsocks

Your link is missing square brackets at beginning and end, also looking at your link it isn't to a single image

I removed the other brackets on Kremmen's instructions, so it must be because I was trying to link to a folder, rather than an individual image. I'll try amending later today to see I can get it to work.

[Kremmen]

Just paste this:

Into your reply and put a square bracket at the start and end


How to get an imgur link is another story but simple when you know how

@cottonsocks And please remove the totally unnecessary quote of the post with the pic.
