How do we post pics on here? I tried several IMG tags & they don't work! Marty

They're working on it, I believe.

Thanks Marshall! Marty PS - what about "smileys" or other emoticons?

Not a clue Marty, sorry. The minute any of us hear anything in regards to improvements and added features, we'll post ASAP.

Keep the suggestions coming! We will have another version online next week hopefully.

Tried again - no go...

How about this? No workee!

Let's see if a little HTML coding will work.

Nope that didn't work. or http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v90/photowinder387/backhairtrim.bmp Nope still can't put a picture in.

Wind, I tried it seven different ways, they don't have something hooked up and probably won't in this version.

Stewart - all you have to do is click the box in the "toolbar" above, & hit the 3rd button from the extreme right & add the URL.

HTH,

Marty

Well, that was easy enough. Thanks, Kevin

How come I can't do it!?

I guess I've got it, but damn are my pictures big!

I'm using imageshack like before but these pics are huge!

On your end, the pics should be no larger than 640*480

If they are larger in screensise, than that is probably your answer why they are so big on the site. 1024 or 1600 is too large.

PS... You might be able to get away with 800*600

Test on Grand Sierra pic

Ok, think I got it now. If only I can remember how I got here to do it...LOL

Testing

Last test....Robert

If you guys want to reduce the size of your pictures you can a image resizer from Microsoft just follow the link below if your machine has Windows XP version.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

If it is some other version go to your favorite search engine and type in Powertoys for Windows 95, 98, ME or what ever. Sorry Mac users I do not know what is available for you folks.

Thanks Michael for the sizing tip.

I guess I don't know why I need to resize, These are my same photos hosted by the same host, but they show up much larger.

I 'll give it a shot. Here goes!!!!!

That wasn't so bad Tom

testing!

Got it to work on the old forum but not here yet.....

OK, lets give this a try, I have talked about my new garage and drive lets see if I can post some before and after pics....

Before:

After:

Hey, I think that worked!!

Pretty Cool.

Hope you like the pics....

OK, will someone please explain to me just how to post pics on this %*&#ing forum, this has me so pissed off...

Robert:

If your browser shows the toolbar in the reply mode the third icon from the right (looks like a mountain range) allows you to post a picture.

Dear Robert,
There are those here who know better then I, but I'll explain it as how I understand it.
I'm sure I'll be corrected if I am wrong.

Right above the textbox that you type your reply in, you will see a toolbar. the 3rd box from the right is a box with a mountain in it.
You click that.
Another textbox opens. In that textbox, you put your picture. Now, how I do that is as follows.
I use photobucket as my picture hosting website. I go there, find my picture, and "copy" the FIRST line under the picture, the "URL" one,
I then "paste" it in that textbox that opened when I click that mountain box.
You are done.

Basically, before in the old forum, I copy and pasted the 3rd line in photobucket, the "IMG" line, and pasted it in the body of the post I was typing. Now, I do almost the same thing, but copy and paste the 3rd line in photobucket and paste it in that new textbox that you get when you click the mountain box instead of your post textbox.

I hope that helped. I'm sure there may be easier ways, but this works for me. If I want to "fix or resize the picture first, I do that in photoshop before i post it to photobucket.

If you don't see the tool bar at all, look directly below where it says "Your Message". If you see a very small downward pointing arrow, click it. This will drop the toolbar down into site. Learned this by accident myself.

If you still don't see it, perhaps your browser doesn't support it. Need to upgrade/change your browser.

OK, will someone please explain to me just how to post pics on this %*&#ing forum, this has me so pissed off...

Robert

Have you tried the drag and drop method yet? This is the easiest for me and sure beats the toolbar approach. However I am not sure if this only works with a Mac.

Tom, I'm at the office and am on IE, I can copy/paste a pic in here but, after I click on "post" I get this message everytime........

"

There was a problem with some of your input. Please make sure the fields marked in red below are filled in properly.

"

Now, the strange part is, the message that I just posted is a doc.

Was done using the button on the toolbar, cannot copy/paste an image into here from my IE at work.

I've tried it from home using drag and drop with both IE and Firefox and can't get it to work.

Hey Tom, just noticed you added a 3650 to the Toro fleet! How and when did this come about? Quite a collection you have!

Sorry about that guys.

At least faithfulFrank and I will have no problems posting.

Of course you can always get a

Ok lets see if this works...Robert

Faitful Frank, did it your way and bang it worked. What I was doing was pasteing the URL directly in the message, and that does'nt work.....Thats why I was so pissed. Thank you very much.

Tom, I guess drag and drop does'nt work in IE like Marshall said..Thank you very much.I think what it is you get so use to doing like that on the other board and try to do it like that here and it does'nt work...

Robert

Emmo:

When I bought the Snow Commander I spent quite a bit of time looking at both the Commander and 3650.

The lack of snow in New Jersey had the dealers keeping the prices pretty low on the 3650. $579 seemed like a good deal for December and I still liked the 3650 alot so this was my Christmas present. All I need is snow now to complete the experience.

Robert, funny how brainless things can be when you know how to do them.

Everyday that I learn more, I learn how much more I need to learn.

Wow.........The two above PICS are copy/pasted in there using my IE at home, not the office IE.

What a trip, not only did it do it, it did it all screwed up. LOL

I knew you guys would have alot of fun posting pics on this website! I think Marshall was the first to post the first pic, and I think I was second or third.

Dear Tom P,
Boy, that picture of the new imac is sure nice IPE eye candy!
I have a 17" imac G4 "Lamp", but I really like it.
My son has a 12" powerbook, and between the boys and I, we have 3 ipods.
One of the Christmas presents my boys got this year were a few Mac t-shirts.....
One has on the back....."I couldn't afford my own IT dept, so I bought a mac"
The other one says......"I used to think it was MY fault that Windows didn't work properly"
We seem to collect official Apple shirts and vintage mac posters....The boys especially like the
poster that came out awhile back when apple came out with the windows version of iTunes....
the one that says "Hell froze over"...........

Frank:

Three iPods !!

You are making me jealous. I have my eye on the photo ipod:



Just think of all the OPE pictures that can be stored (25,000). Happiness is a Mac ! (and Simplicity, Toro and for you Frank Ariens)

Tom P,
I was playing with the photo ipods the other day at the Apple store.......quite bling-bling! After playing with them for awhile, the regular ones just seemed a bit plain.
I only went with the 20 gig 4g ones because I really like how thin it is. It makes our 2gen 10 gig one seem like a brick.
I want to download some audiobooks for the cruise we leave on in a few weeks.

It's kind of nice having an Apple store 25 miles from us, in Buffalo. There are not too many of them, so we are lucky. Strange, Rochester is only 25 miles from here also, way more upscale, etc, but they picked rusty old Buffalo......perhaps because it was easy for the Canadians to get there.

Frank D.

I'm having problems posting a photo as well. When I click on the "insert/edit image" box, a frame does not appear to copy an image into. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Trying again. This shows the skids I made to try to contend with our gravel drive.

Like this just click on the mountain and put your link in.

Regarding my previous post, all I did was "right button" click on my image in Photobucket, "copy" and then "paste" into the forum "Your Message" box.

faithfulFrank;

What audiobooks do you listen to, and where do you get yours?

I have 4 of Harry potters, and about a hundred assorted scifi.

Robert

Dear Robert,
I haven't downloaded any yet.......I just thought I'd go to www.audible.com and look., although on www.ipodlounge.com they speak of a few other sites that have free audiobook downloads.
I have not really browsed yet......knowing me, all probably look at the "bargin" section first.
I thought it would be nice for the plane ride, etc. Are your Potter books downloaded and used on an mp3 player, or do you use them on CD?

Frank D.

Nice lookin skids Jonathon. They certainly look like they should skid over the gravel, No prob!

faithfulFrank;

I downloaded them from KaZza lite(all free) , burnt them to CD's so I can listen to them on my MP3 player.

Robert
