Title: Angel Delight Promotional Material
Post by: samnitzberg (Sam) on March 22, 2008, 03:03:59 PM
Hello, all.  I've had for many years a bunch of promotional pieces which came with my LP copy of Angel Delight (bought this promo copy probably in 1975 or 1976).  It's various 8x10 glossy band photos, and reprints of several articles.  I can't figure out how to upload scans I've recently done of all this so you can see them.  Can someone please guide me?  Clicking on the "Insert Image" icon just gives me this: (http://) and I can't paste anything in between, if that's what's supposed to happen.   I'd love to show you all of this.....

Expand the "Additional Options" below the message text box. This will display the "browse" textbox to enable you to upload image files as attachments. Be aware of the size restrictions: most scans are rather large: you will likely need to resize them to enable you to attach them to your message.
Alternatively, use one of the online photo services (photobucket, etc.) to host them online and just provide us with a link to them (don't use an image tag for this: Col1n frowns on linking to external images)

Thanks, but all I see are "Notify me of replies", "Return to this topic" and "Don't use smileys".

Hmmm ... perhaps there is a minimum-posts limit to enable this function?

Andy posted a more in-depth explanation here (http://www.talkawhile.co.uk/yabbse/index.php?topic=21156.msg294506#msg294506) once you are able to see the Attach function, that is.

Thanks to some wizardry by our moderator, things are now good-to-go, so here's my first upload attempt...

That seems to have worked.  How 'bout this one?  Hope it's readable...
If you go to http://home.comcast.net/~grebztinmas/site/?/photos/ you can click on it twice to be able to zoom in.

What can I say! A cracking good looking bunch and no mistake! I'd forgotten how handsome Peggy was with hair and Simon - gorgeous then and even more so now with that lovely grey beard.

The writer of the second article didn't like Pentangle very much, did he?

OK, and finally, this Melody Maker article which was also in the packet.  This has to be a link since the file's too big:

Very easy to read this, just zoom in...

Enjoy

When did Roger Waters join Fairport, and what is he doing to Dave M?


Sorry Simon
