THis thread is boring as, without PHOTO's...

Dear Moderator,

Seeing as I cannot post live pics into this forum (as it appears this forum does not support this functionality at my user level), I used my Moderator powers on my Dubai forum to host the pics.

I had created a URL to my forum (when I first investigated this option/issue) in the thread http://www.pradopoint.com/viewtopic.php?t=2432 Perhaps you were not looking/reading properly at the time you may/may not have read that thread..?

Please refer to http://www.dubaipetrolheads.com/index.php?topic=1669.0 in order to allay your boredom...!

It appears your forum does not support the standard BBCode for this function!

Are you for real ?

I have posted hundreds of photo's on this forum and have had not issues...

Cheers,

I am for real...... ask Bill L...!

Question is though - did you manage to see the pics in the DPH forum or not?

Also - my BBCode is correct for linking images.... no? If it is correct, why won't the images display?

Hi Damonat,

I am totally fine and dandy...Not getting wound up at all. Sorry if things were read differently Thanks ....

Just wondering why the Moderator says the thread is useless without pics, even though I tried to link to my forum....

Also wondering why I can't post images using the standard BBcode [img]...[/img].??

But like you said, let's keep it to the topic.

If you guys can't source these parts, I have setup Mumsrig with my contact here who works for Toyota.... HTH

deep breaths everyone... i think you've missed the aussie way of saying "post some pics so we can see what you're talking about!!"

When posting a topic, it is 1000% more interesting when pics are placed on the forum. It makes interesting reading even more interesting. The old saying....A picture says a thousand words.

Guys,

I am a moderator and founder member of Dubai Petrolheads Forum. I know how these things work and I know what it means when you say 'Post pics'

For some reason, this forum doesn't allow me to link to my pics I posted in the Dubai Petrolheads forum.... and when I used the standard [img] code it didn't work... Any ideas? (I tried a mac machine as well as a windows machine)

Sorry - I tried! :? :? :? :?

Al least Damonat saw the pics in the DPH forums... so I assume everyone else can?

[damonat Advanced Member Find all posts View Profile Close damonat]

yep, i saw the pic's.
i use photobucket for my pic's and have no problem,
but at least you've tried.

So it means simply host the pics at photobuvcket or any of the other free sites so they can be linked properly.

You will find your forum does not allow hotlinking, hence the non display of pictures here...... :!:

There is a couple of existing how to post pictures threads which explain how to do it on this forum.

Pictures would turn this how to from a rather interessting but bland read to a top notch effort that would instill a lot more information transfer to all readers.
People love pictures on how to's. They can see exactly what to expect if they attempt your modification.

Thanks for the pics adamric. I am getting closer to my goal of finding all the missing switches.

By the way I just bought a 206 Gti Peugeot ( come on now, no laughing. It does 5.5L to the 100ks, goes like stink). It has a rear fog lamp which is farken bright, much more intense than the brake light. It is really handy in rainy low light conditions.
The pigman might be able to answer this. How come it's legal for this car to have fog lamps and the Prado not? Is it a case of there not being enough reflective area in total tail lamp surface or is it that Toyota did not include this lamp when the car went for it's ADR approvals?
As to the Pug, those that know, know.

i think it's the reflector that is the problem, and also if i recall i read somewhere that in ADR the fog light can only be in the centre, or to the right of centre, so in theory you'd only be able to connect the right one. but don't quote me on that!

Thanks for the pics adamric. I am getting closer to my goal of finding all the missing switches.....

My offer still stands to anyone that wants help in getting the fog lamp kit (switches, lens body, wiring etc....)

Jeremy Clarkson did a review of the 206Gti... not a bad little car - and for your cost of fuel in Ozzztralia it's pretty good. Fuel here is cheap, so we drive V8's.... :lol:

i don't think so.
remeber the hyundai excel.
it has 1 under the DS tail lights in the bumper. it does look c@#p.

i've just removed the rear reflector/foglight things, and fitted small hella foglights in the hole, to use as reverse lights.
which left me with no reflectors, so i bought 2 elcheapo's and fitted them just below the original position.

I couldn't locate the foglight wiring behind dash. so gave up.
now i have the switch and wiring patch harnesses sitting in the shed.
