Corsaire31 419 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Nice flight and a nice plane. It's really "Bronco time" as my favourite football team won the 50th Superbowl on Sunday ( I've studied in Denver for a year in my young days and I've been following the team since then ! ) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

wain 879 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 great shots, how do you get the space between the pics to add text, I can never work that out.....really like that Aircraft.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Corsaire31 419 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Nice flight, you probably flew over my favourite place, the islands of La Maddalena and the NE coast of Sardinia. @ Wain: you do it simply by typing the text and inserting inside the BB code of images which you copy from FS Snaps or any other website where your images are uploaded. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Great Set and flight. Wain. Some other ways: I usually name the files I am going to use in a set the same+numbers...ie. Ilfer1 - Ilfer26 in my ATWC trip. That way when I copy the url into the post, I only copy the first URL, and then hit Return 2x...to make a couple spaces to work between, Paste, Return return, paste, return return...etc, etc....and then I start replacing the "1" in every URL to the next consecutive number in each URL I have pasted. Then I start either composing, or copy pasting, the story line in afterwards in between the image urls. Another way. If you paste in All the URLS at one time...hit Preview Post, then click on any image in the Edit section...not the Preview Section, and hit Return return, and it will add a couple spaces between the it and the next image...lather rinse repeat. I prefer planning/naming/option #1, as it makes edits much easier down the road. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
