Re: Gear selection problem !
OK, I'll try to keep this short and sweet:<br /><br />Basically, you have to have the picture(s) stored on a picture hosting site (Photobucket.com)<br />You add a reply to your post , here at iboats using the Full Reply Form<br />Click on the 'image' tag<br />A dialog box open asking you to enter the location of your picture on Photobucket<br />When you click OK, your picture will be inserted in your post here at iboats<br /><br />Details:<br /><br />1. Save your picture to a folder on your computer (remember the name of this folder) Example: C:\My Documents\ My Pictures<br />2. Go to Photobucket.com<br />3. Create a free account on their site (create a user name and a password)<br />4. Click on "Browse" (browse to the folder on your computer where you saved your picture (see #1 above))<br />5. Click on the picture file you want to send to Photobucket<br />6.Click on Submit (this sends your picture FROM your computer TO the photobucket website)<br />7. The picture can now be seen at photobucket<br />8. Underneath the picture you'll see a line showing the URL of your picture, click on that line, it will turn blue, press Control-C on your keyboard (this copies the address to your picture)<br />9. You can log out of Photobucket, your picture is stored in your account folder at Photobucket.<br />10. Come back to iboats<br />11. Add a reply to your post using the Full Reply Form<br />12. Click on the tab called "Image" (it's to the right of the smiley icons)<br />13. An address box will open, remove any text already in the box<br />14. Press Control-V on your keyboard (this pastes the address of your picture that's stored over at Photobucket)<br />15. Click OK<br />16. Add any text you like to your post and click Add Reply to finish.....your picture will show in your post.<br /><br />Whoops, one last tip: Using a photo editing program of your choice, be sure to resize the picture to a reasonable size BEFORE you upload it to Photobucket. Large pictures take a long time to display here on iboats. The folks using a dial-up Internet connection won't be happy waiting for your huge picture to be displayed. <br />Here's a simple to use program, that's free, that you can use to resize your pictures if you don't have a photo editing program.
