I'd alreadytoyed with these images for the Challenge, but decided it wasn't really a bridge. But inspired by the similarity to pictures of the Interstate lifting bridge, I've decided on a quick late entry. This is Anderton Lift Lock which connects the River Weaver and the Trent & Mersey Canal at Northwich, Cheshire, UK, with a 60 foot lift. It opened in 1875, closed due to corrosion (across the river is a salt works) in 1983, and reopened in 2001 after a 7 million UKpound restoration programme.
It consists of two huge counterbalanced bathtubs, each weighing 250 tons, into which boats can be sailed, raised and lowered by hydraulic rams. (Curiously the new hydraulics are from the same peoplewho did the hydraulics for the lifting stage in Wagner's theatre in Bayreuth, Germany: See my "Valhalla" rainbow bridge entry.) General lo-res view: ![]() View showing gears & pulleys used from 1908 to 1983, when operated electrically: |

As you can see, I can't get the syntax right for image insertion using "img" tags. I've done this recently for putting images alongside each other, but I can't remember how I did it. Now I just get a (working) link instead.
Please could some nice moderator tell me what to do, and/or fix it for me? |

Alan, I'm not sure what is going on. I did a copy/paste of the entire image string from your post and here is the result. Since I can't edit your post (not yet, anyway...) I suggest you go into edit mode and highlight the entire string including the "img" tags, cut, and paste it back in. and see if that works.
I use Photobucket to host my pictures and they generate the link string automatically. I just do a copy of the string on Photobucket and paste it here. ![]() Incidentally, posting multiple pictures vertically is preferable to side-by-side. It makes for easier viewing. Cal |

Keep a tight grip on your treasures for the next 2 weeks, Alan T |

This will work:
1, Place the two Photos side by side in your image editor (PS, PSP, PHOTOSUITE, etc). 2, Save as a single image. 3, Upload the combined image. I subscribe to another forum that has a three image per day limit and have seen this method used to beat the rule. Bill |

I *know* there's a solution to this because I've done it recently, but I can't find the relevant messages that told me how to do it! |

well...i edited your post...
cuz i'm thirsty for power :-p and for some reason, the BBcode didn't work (even though this is a wowBB forum :?) you had a space in between the code and the link...but when i took it out, it didn't fix it, you have to use the image button up top, and without hitting enter, using it again.. i think the steves posting box is a bit too high tech to type in the codeyourself.., since it's 'what you see is what you get'...:-p very nice work with the shot the person you have in there adds fantastic scale! nice shot!
