Once upon a moon, when I ran some forums. There was some server based software that would allow images to be uploaded "anysize" to the server by users.
It would resize and compress the images for maximum viewing pleasure vs minimum storage size for the image database. The complete image database could be saved in one directory as a .zip format file for easy back-up.
Was probably a MySQL database. Also I would have though there should be a plugin from vBulletin itself or a 3rd party plugin?

Been awhile since I did this though.

HUH?
I recognise some of these words, but not when they are put together like this!

my suggestion would be for someone to come round to my place & show me how to post pictures & link Ebay ads

cheers

That would be like visiting my parents place and they have 20 years on you Max.

You could try a senior citizen computers for dummies course at your local library.
Computer Basics followed by
How to use the Internet successfully and amaze your friends and make your Mum proud.

Cut 'n' Paste will sort you posting a Hyperlink (although if you like my parents you will have spaces before/after the URL or both!)

Just a thought, you can search the Internet to learn how to do all sorts of things. Even YouTube covers the basics of the things your asking.

Cheers, that was a little bit tongue-in-cheek. I haven't actually attempted to post any pictures, but the amount of time I spend yelling at computer, Im sure Id end up hoarse!
