: real

: for all your help Nick R.

Technically you don't send the pictures from photobucket, or any other picture site for that matter, to this forum, you post a link in the section below your post (first eliminating the extra "http:") from the block and adding a link to the picture there.

I'll have to look tomorrow if no one does it before I can for detailed instructions. (I'm at work and photobucket is blocked)
