Ok, So How Do We Post Pictures?

[BULLSEYE BILL]

I checked the FAQ and haven't figured out how to post the pics. Where do we find out how?

[Admin]

Bill -

I have it turned off at the moment until I have time to get it all set up. I wanted to turn this forum off for a bit to start with but haven't had time to figure it out! Too many other issues to deal with first. Glad to see the domain is being changed. Welcome. There is going to be a learning curve here so be patient.

Regards,
Barry

Interesting placment of where your 'me' is pointing. :D Right on!

[Barry]

Okay, I messed around with this forum last night but not sure its complete. Go ahead and test it. Until all the kinks are worked out, anything that is posted is subject to deletion, so beware. But please give it a try.

They're so much fun to watch, aren't they? :)

[iddee]

OK, it works, and if that picture don't bust it, it should last forever.

[Hobie]

Iddee, bees are supposed to be INSIDE the box.

[iddee]

Hobie, the swarm is moving from the white bucket to the box.
This is where they came from.

I figured it was something like that. That is cool. A bit high in a spindly tree for my liking, but cool.

Well, Image tags are working fine, image links seem to work fine too:

Barry, were you thinking of allowing attachments? Using image tags isn't a whole lot different from posting urls- it just displays the pictures in-line. Attachments would allow folks to upload stuff (pictures, documents, etc.) from their local disk. This would be handy for them if they don't have a site to upload pictures to, but I can imagine you might not want to enable that feature..

[Barry]

Barry, were you thinking of allowing attachments?

Hey George -

I was playing around with the attachments settings also. It just got too late for me brain to function properly so I shut down. I need to look up and see how much server space I have left, now that I've deleted the old board files off of it. If plenty there, I'll be inclined to allow attachments, up to a limit of course. If donations keep coming in, I would be able to purchase a bit more disk space on the server.

Ok! Allowing attachments certainly has it's pros and cons and I can understand your concerns. FWIW, being able to put pictures in-line with image tags is neat but posting a URL is almost as good. Being able to post attachments would be a privilege in deed and well worth consideration. Limits on type of content and attachment size would first on the list but there are other issues too. It might be a service provided only to members in good standing, whatever that means. You wouldn't want this place to turn into a free (and possibly illegal) file exchange site :) You also don't want to be held responsible for people posting copyrighted material or other stuff with limited distribution requirements, etc.

A potential can of worms...

Keep us apprised of your thoughts on this.

George-

Are there instructions on how to post pics without using computer language?

[Ann]

We belong to a forum that charges $19 a year to be a member. Being a member means you have the privilege of posting attachments, pictures, etc. on the forum servers. The notation "NES Member" sits below your name. It seems to work well. I've given money to this forum and will again, but if you were to start a regular membership I'd be for that, too.

Note that the forum itself is still free and available to all. There is an NES Member forum that only members can access, but everything else is open to the masses.

I want to learn a quick way to post inside replys/threads also

[odfrank]

You can only post pictures in the Photo Gallery forum. You have to open an account at Photobucket or have it in some other website. You then upload the photo into your account. At Photobucket they make it easy to translate the picture to computer language. Flickr did not work for me. You enclose the photo address in "http:****".

[Ann]

You actually can post pictures in the other forums, but as a courtesy to people on dialup you're asked not to. I've seen pix in the other forums, so I know it's possible. It's better to keep them here.

[hummingberd]

ok, so how do you post pictures?????

Someone help!!!

[flathead]

See odfranks response in this thread.

Put the pic on a server somewhere, I use Intermedia.net for my website.

Open the pic or webpage with the pic. Right click on the pic and click properties.

hightlite the address for the pic, right click and copy.

On beesource open a reply or start new thread. Type and then paste the copied address and then type

should look like this: your pic address here

Click preview post to see your pic before submitting.

People actually still use dial-up? Wonders never cease.

I'm not so sure about that. At the bottom of pages in other forums its says "img code is off". But it also says posting links is off, but you can. So, I don't really know at all.:confused:

So, I don't really know at all.:confused:The function is off, but if you know the code tags it can be done. I'm not encouraging it, I've just seen it done.

[suprstakr]

did not work

[Barry]

But it also says posting links is off, but you can.

Really, where does it say that?
I see:
[IMG] (http://www.beesource.com/forums/misc.php?do=bbcode#imgcode) code is Off
HTML code is Off

One can post links but it's not HTML.

- Barry

[odfrank]

What is the difference between a link and an attachment? That is probably what I saw. Most forums say you may not post attachments, whatever those are.

[Barry]

A link is simply a URL to another page. Such as:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link

An attachment is a file (text or image) that gets placed/stored on the beesource server. If I allow attachments on the forum, there will need to be more donations to support the increase on the server.

I used my bees wax for a lost wax jewelry casting for my wedding rings.
you can see the gold before it
was melted. there is a large 14kt broken necklace, some 18kt
broken earings and small chains, and some 24kt gold ingots. worked
out to be all 18kt when melted together. then you can see the wax
casting i made from my original carvings.... then my wife left with the camera
so there are no pics of over a ounce of melted gold in the
crucible. that was wild looking. and no pics of the pouring of the
gold. but there are pics of the casting after they came out of the mold and then
what they looked like finished. i tought myself jewlry casting in
3 months and just finished them 2 days before we left for key west to get married.
bought books and supplies online. my ring has a small casting flaw,
but her's has 2 and one is pretty bad, so i'm gonna melt her's and recast it in a few months
once she will let me have it back for a few days. i'll prolly just
leave mine as is. hope the pics work. i'm not that computer savvy.

[Black Creek]

looks like i shoulda started a new thread with this .... i was trying to fig. out how to post pics. i'll do that now

I like the cooker near by. Makes a lot of sense!!!!

[papa bear]

hey, i thought i would never get this. but i found that photobucket already had a place to do this. i went to the box that said img code. it has the address already to use. it copies automatically. then just left click on a reply or new thread to set cursor, then right click and then left click on paste. check preview. thanks flathead you have probably released a monster

NICE stove!

[Troy]

Nevermind all that. I did a web search and discovered that a lot of folks had the same problem I did with picasa web. I hosted the pics elsewhere and all is good now. --Troy


I have tried to use the picasa photo service with google, and am having several problems with it.

Any help would be appreciated.

First is that even though it offers a link to the photo, it does not work as it does not have the .jpg suffix on it. So I selected view picture and copied the URL diectly into the img tag here on beesource. It worked fine.

This am I got to work and decided to take a look at it, and it only loads the first img tag, not the 2nd and 3rd?

I edited the posting and copied the img tag into a new window, and it works fine. I'm stumped.
