Re: New to iboats, restoring old boat
Gary,
The pictures are very small. I had issues to when I first started posting pictures too so I will break it down for you real easy on what to do.
1. When you go to photobucket to upload your pics under "upload images and video" is "more options." Click on more options and then select larger(640X480) and then click "save". Now every time you upload pics it will automatically save them on photobucket to that resolution (640X480) is optimal size for this forum.
2. When you want to post a pic on this site you need to go to photo bucket and view your "entire album." Whatever pic you want to post on here scroll over it with your mouse. When you do all this stuff will pop up under the picture-
Email & IM
Direct Link
HTML Code
IMG Code
IMG Thumb
Flash Code
3. From here you want to copy the content that is in the "
IMG Code" box. I right click and "copy" that content and then move back to the iboats site.
4. Once back on the iboats site you need to "create new post" and then scroll over the little pic with the mountain and little sun in it(this is the "insert image box"). Once you click on that you will see another content box that has http:// in it. I usually delete that, and then right click, and "paste." Your photobucket picture information will now show up in there.
5. Then click "ok" and your image will show up in your message. It will still look like a link image code but that is what it looks like until you either "preview post" or "submit post". If you "preview post" you will now see your pic on the screen and not as a thumbnail. And once you "submit post" it will show up like a picture as well.
I had issues posting with my mac so I used my pc to post pics instead. I do exactly what I said above and it works every time.
Hope this helps.
Mick
