Maurice - who is playing and basewidths

[Leman]

Thanks Fred. I'll give the photobucket method a whirl.

[Leman]

My own preference for 10mm and Maurice is to use 25mm as the standard frontage. This means all measurements can be done in inches. I now (having tried other numbers) base infantry on 25mm x 25mm in two ranks each of four figures. I use the same bases for cavalry and light infantry with three cavalry and three randomly placed lights. Artillery have differing base depths owing to the size of model being used. To further spice things up I sometimes replace the fourth infantry base with one having two infantry figures in two ranks and a 3lb gun and two crew to give the impression of battalion guns. It counts the same as an infantry base.

As you can see Fred that didn't work because I can't work out how to paste the URL from the clipboard because I don't know what the clipboard is[img][img]http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/Themes/babylon/images/bbc/img.gif

My son found it!

you'll get :




You hosted your pic somewhere on the web, yes ?

About the "weight" of your picture, it must be a low resolution. Resize it if necessary. ( 600 pixels wide )

Yep, exactly what Ronan says.  If you're still having trouble, you can always send me the pics and I can upload them on our Photobucket for you.

The size of the picture is usually fine, I think the Forum software will resize it sometimes, as long as it's not massive!  I can always edit the post as well if necessary.

I will have another go.[/URL]

If anyone is still interested the photos are in my 10mm SYW album on photobucket. If the mountain won't come to Mohammed ...........

Are these your pics?



If so, this is the bit of code you need to put into the Forum, but without the spaces in the brackets:
[ img ]http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g440/dourpuritan/10mm%20SYW/IMG_0385-1_zps4ec7b122.jpg[ /img ]

To get that code, there's a few options.  Basically you need the IMG code, which you should be able to get when you are logged in to your Photobucket account by hovering over the picture.  Photobucket has changed a little recently, so you may need to change your settings to get the sharing options to be more accessible (job for son?!).  Once you've got it activated, you can just copy and paste the bit of code in the IMG box.

The other method, and one which can be used to grab any image you see anywhere online, is to copy the image location.  To do this, hover over the picture you want to use, and right click the mouse.  You should have an option which says 'Copy Image Location'.  Click this and then come back to the post screen on the Forum (where you type your message).  Right click again, and click 'Paste' which will put the image/code address into your post.  All you need now are some IMG brackets, so highlight your newly pasted address code, and then click the 'Image' button above all the smiley faces, it's the 3rd one from the left, above the grinning and laughing smiley faces.  Clicking this button should put the [IMG ] brackets around your image address.  Hit 'Post' and your picture should be displayed in all it's 10mm glory!

Give me a shout if that doesn't work.

You have the patience of a saint Leon.

Now that's some very pretty toys

No worries!  We'll see you at Phalanx in a fortnight as well if you're still having trouble with it.

[Leman]

I'll take you up on that if you have time. There's no substitute for actually being shown. I'll be putting in a collectable order in the next few days. see you then.

Maurice looks interesting but I can't start another period at the moment. May give Longstreet the ACW version a whirl once it comes out though.
