Introductions with pics of work? What say you?

On the Russian pipe forum, there is a section where carvers display their work and it is all included in one topic for each carver. Do you think a good place to put it is in the introduction topics or maybe make a new section? Or none at all? I went ahead and added it to my introduction. :twisted:

I think it's a good idea. I need to take some photos anyway.

When I've created the perfect pipe I'll post it.

Is there any way of making it so we can post pics directly rather than link to a photo host? I can't remember the last time I used my photobucket account and it was such a pain.

I store my photos in space provided to me by my internet service provider. I upload the pics to this space, from my computer, using Cute software (file transfer protocol or FTP). I then post which ever pics I want to the Forum (or anywhere for that matter) using the IMG button. An addy to the specific photo(s) goes between the brackets.
Sounds cumbersome but it really isn't. Takes maybe 30 seconds per pic at most. If I can make it work anyone can.
The addresses are picture specific rather than to an entire album.

Russian sites use Cyrillic font, that is why its harder to find them, as it is with every other language specialised sites that use Cyrillic fonts.

Nuh Duh!
Yes, when you reply to a post or make a new post there is a thing at the bottom where you can upload pictures. You have to do them one by one and max 5 per post.
