In order to have a picture ("avatar") on the side of your posts you must have 100 posts

Welcome to the forums getns, hope you guys enjoy yourselfs here!
As to posting pics; if you have them online somewhere (own server or rented webspace orwhatever) you can simply enter a link IN your post (click on the IMAGE button below the box and enter the url).
If not, you need osmeone to post them for you. I have my own server, so I wouldn't mind posting them for you. PM me in that case.

Hey Martin is that a picture from the Duxford show ? (I figure it must be because if you had a choice you would post a picture of the termite wonder )
Welcome to the forums Air Force. I live up the road from Lackland about 70 miles. Nice and warm here now, approching 100 degrees.
