Test Pattern

[Walter F.]

Alright guys and gals lets try to post a picture, oops first stump, what is a URL ? I have a photo sitting in "My Documents", from a "Funsaver" camera, photo was on CD. My computers operating system is Windows EP Media center edition. WHICH BUTTON DO I PUSH NEXT??? Walter F.

[Walter F.]

Forgot to add, given a choice I would prefer to have my photos full size in the post where you see the photo without doing anything as opposed to thumbnails. Thanks in advance. Walter F.

If you have a place to host or hold your picture, something like your own website, an image hosting service, etc you can upload the pic there. Then copy the URL and paste it between IMG]http://xxxxx[/IMG (needs starting and ending brackets) html commands by clicking on the little mountain and sun (sorta light yellow box) icon button in the reply or create thread window, just above the text box.



Easy way is to use Attach files/ manage attachments, but they will be thumbnails.

Hey - you asked!

[Walter F.]

My brain just broke a spring after reading that. OK i would like to post just like you did with the way cool tank, but I will try the thumbnail deal any way- Here we go-Da Machine says it's uploading please wait/ while we wait, if this works, thanks to early riser PABLO. the photo is of the Research & Development Dept. here at the SKUNK WORKS where the "California Kid " is being built. This just in, deminsion limits are 1300X1000, they can't resize, I have to do it. Photo is 1536X1024, think I'm gonna break another spring. Let's see resize,resize resize, I give up how do I resize>>Walter F.

You can go to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and start a free account. Upload your there and you can resize them there. I have a couple of paint programs that I use to resize photos. Lots of different ways of doing the same thing. With the photobucket account you can copy and paste the code into your message and it will put the photo in the message without the thumbnail.

You can also add the image as an attachment, preview the post and click on the thumbnail. Grab the URL from the address bar in your browser, and paste that between the [ IMG ] tags as previously stated.



To attach the image, when you're in the advanced editor, scroll down and click "manage attachments" From there click browse to find your pic, then hit upload. Once you do that, click "preview post," click on the thumbnail and it will open the image in a new window. Copy the address from the address bar in your browser, then click the mountain with sun icon (insert image) and paste in the address you just copied.

See if it'll crank now, Walter F. nope --I got a photo at photobucket, WalterF_photos - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting, the album is WalterF_photos, but I can't get it to here in this little box where I'm typing now.
