I'll look into this, what Operating System and Browser do you use?

I just wanted to confirm your OS and Browser, we have performed extensive testing with all versions of IE, XP, Vista and Firefox.

Are you trying to copy/paste the link code into the body of a reply post on a forum? Or what specifically are you trying to do for linking?

I just put this photo up from HobbyZip. I first clicked on the small photo, then on the large version I right-clicked, went to properties, copy/pasted URL into the upload a picture tool here on RCC.

Seems that the link code found on the main page isn't working, I will look into this.

[jetboat]

yup, Ive been trying to use the link code on the main picture page. For now Ill use the right click approach.

Right click approach works!

I can't upload pics or videos either, keeps popping up 3 things that would keep them from uploading? I'm new at this so? I can right click cop and paste a pic in any forums, but trying to upload them hasn't worked thru Hobbyzip?

When you try to upload pictures or videos to HobbyZip what pops up preventing the upload? Do you get an error message?

There's already a bunch of pics of your rig on HobbyZip (some non-carnage too), you should sign up for an account and upload a pic, get in on some giveaway action 8)

You could upload a pic of the indoor course you're working on?

You have to make sure everything is filled out on the upload form before you send it. Otherwise it will not let you go. Look for red type.

It's all good! We all started out somewhere "thumbsup"Computers can be very frustrating :shock:

After you Log In click on Upload, then select Upload Video or Upload Picture (if you try to upload a picture on the Video Upload page it won't let you, and vice versa). I usually pick out a picture or video I want to upload first, and once I locate that file on my computer I keep that folder open so I know where it's at. Then you need to enter a title, tags and description for the picture or video. For the title try to keep it brief and to the point, for tags think of key words, what single word describes your picture or video? Enter several single words which best describe your picture or video, this will help people find your stuff when they use the search box, be sure to enter single words with spaces between them, no commas are needed here. For the description feel free to keep it short and to the point, but remember that people will find your stuff better if you describe it well. Next select a category (if anboddy reading this wants to see a new category on HobbyZip let me know), then choose Additional Options if necessary, then click on Browse to locate your picture or video you want to upload, once you locate the file click Open in the pop up window, then click Upload on the HobbyZip page. Once you click Upload you must wait for the Upload process to complete before you click on anything else, this can take awhile with larger files, so be patient, when uploading a video you need to wait for the three thumbnail images to be displayed before you click on anything, otherwise the Upload may fail, or you may not have images for your video.

I hope this helps, always feel free to contact me if you have any questions or problems "thumbsup"
