Hi All,

Just trying out attaching photo's through Imageshack as I can't seem to get any luck sending pictures along with my postings.

Here is a photo of three dishes prepared last weekend.

On the left is the Basic Balti Chicken from the Kushi Book. At the top is the King Prawn Patia.

The dish to the right is the Balti Kitchen Chicken Tikka Masala.

All three turned out really well, particularly the CTM. The two dishes from the Kushi book were very nice, the wife loved the King Prawn Patia but I have to say I agree with many comments on the site they are not instantly recognisable as having that BIR taste which will be dissapointing to some. They do claim to be "Balti" dishes so as such should be set apart from the BIR type we all enjoy.

However, I have had success with them and think they must be judged in their own right. As Pete has pointed out while there are some dissapointments in this book there are also some very good hint's, tips, ideas and other useful bits of info.

Hope you all get the picture!!......................literally!

Good picture Ray
It's silly that some people can't post on this site anymore
I can't either, but I don't think it's everyone
I thought the idea of photos of your curries was brilliant

I tried posting pictures of me reclaiming oil on the weekend but got the error about the attachment directory not writable, stu can you fix this?

Here's an attempt at presenting Ray's photo. If it comes up, all I did was attach the proper tags. It's nothing to do with this forum 'accpepting' the photos. And I'm no programmer!

Regards
George

Hi George,

So how did you manage to do that then?

I simply cannot comprehend how you or anyone else has difficulty posting pictures here. You've done the difficult bit in getting them hosted somewhere. I'd be amazed if this is anything to do with your browser or PC.

Click reply to open a new message, like I'm typing up now. At the point where you want to insert an image from your source, click on the second coloured icon from the left. If you hover over this icon it says 'insert image'. It's just to the left of the 'globe' icon.

This brings up img in square brackets followed by slash img in square brackets. Insert your image url in between, which starts with html and ends with .jpg or something like that. I just copied and pasted your link between open img and /img, both in  square brackets.  You can even type [img] and the other end manually.

I hope this helps.

Regards
George

Hi George,

Sometime's the obvious isn't obvious, especially for computer illiterate's like me.

Thanks for the help.

I have followed the same procedure for attaching files and successfully posted loads of pictures.
All the Bruce Edwards stuff (for one thing)
Loads of curry pics too
But lately I just get an error message
I'll try a picture again
I'm going to "attach" and then browse for the "jpeg" file

Sorry, I just get

The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved.

This is a picture I have already posted too!

I tried attaching a picture by pasting the url that was generated on the imageshack site as George suggested in the previous post but must have pasted it wrongly.

It is just a matter of trial and error as I am sure it has a simple solution.
I wonder why the facility on the site doesn't accept photo files any more?
