A marketplace for chronographs, dive watches and other tool-type wristwatches and timepieces

This forum is for BUYING, SELLING and TRADING only--not for discussing watches. Please limit postings to specific ads for buying, selling or trading watches, parts or accessories that that match at least one of the following categories:

Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use. Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings.

Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]

Re: Please Red Sticky re "Posting with URL Image Links"

Jeff,

In fact there are two correct options:
the default is the SQUARE BRACKET: [ IMG]picture_address.jpg[ /IMG] (you'll get this by pressing the img button)
what also works is the HTML TAG: < IMG src="picture_address.jpg" width="1280" height="720" />

The latter has the advantage of being able to specify size. Either Height or Width will do for properly scaled pics. Note the values for the attributes must be enclosed in quotes.
e.g. Flickr/embed will use this format: Just remove the encapsulating Anchor < A> and < /A> after Paste.

Always use [PREVIEW] button before hitting the [POST] button.

my 2 cents,
Jurgen

ps:
this is the offending and forbidden tag that should not be used.
[ URL]address[ /URL]

: Please review the "Sticky" message about posting with URL

: Some of you get frustrated because your messages do not appear
: immediately; the Moderators get frustrated because we have to
: approve the messages that get flagged; then we have to clean up
: the messages that have the "URL" tags.

: This is very simple -- your messages should include only the [ IMG
: ] address_for_your_image.jpg [/ IMG ] (spaces added by me, not
: used in a real image link) portion, and not the URL portion.

: Thanks,
