Wonderful pictures Cathérine Bergeyck! :flower: Mathilde looked like a stylish toddler! And there is quite a resemblance between Claire and her mom.

I just copy the Url of the pic, click the button 'img' fill it in than click 'add reply', so it's not an attached image, but just the 'easy way', I never had problems with it.

Hope this helps.

We'd really prefer you all to use the link button or attach the image rather than use the IMG button. Using the IMG button uses up the bandwidth of the photo agencies. We do not want them to remove their pictures from their sites because we are using their bandwidth.

Thank you.
