Hey Chucky,
Got a question. We are now able to post our own pics for our avitars-without having it on a website-which is great. Can we do the same for pics we just  want to post-or does it still have to be on a website somewhere?

You can make an attachment to your message. It can't be over 128K in size, which for a picture shouldn't be a problem.  I'll try it in a followup message to demonstrate it.

click on additional options, and there will be two browse buttons... you can attach two pictures to one email.

I've attached a picture of the park I proposed to my fiance in.  We're not pictured.

I think we found another kink. When I download the pic, it says that an error has occured. Something about this message board doesn't allow downloads or attachment.  ::)  Well, at least I know that maybe once everything gets worked out, we can do that. Thanks Chucky.

it was working before I fixed the issues with the copyright notice... figures, I fix one thing, break another

I think it works now... try it again

:o

Nope-still not working.  :( 




Cat

Nope-still not working.  :( 



it really works now... I had a permissions problem I was unaware of... I actually fixed a few other minor things too...

I used my testaccount and it worked fine... (and then I deleted the evidence)

This is what I am getting:

It seems that you are not allowed to download or view attachments on this board.


I know you are trying. I'm sure you will figure it out.

I was pretty close... I fixed every board EXCEPT this one... try it now... I'll get there eventually...  so many options to configure I can't keep it all straight

It works! It works! I knew you could do it. Thanks

I'm still having problems. The one I posted in the PPP worked fine but I have been trying to post one in the 2000s. I hit the options and put in my pic but when I hit post, I get "page can't be displayed". What am I doing wrong?




Cat

So,when posting pics,you still have to put the img on both end sides? ???

if the file size is over 100k it may not allow it (but give a totally meaningless message).  I tried it with a test account in that board, and it was fine.

What is a test account?

What is a test account?

Howard


it's an account with normal permissions that I created to see the board like a regular user  sees the board

Ok,I see! Thank U!

Ok Chucky, I think I figured out what is going on with that pic that I have been trying to upload. It is a bmp. I scanned it into my hard drive and that is what it came out as. Is there anyway that I can change that to a jpg or a gif (not being a computer guru myself)?

If you open the picture up in Paint, which is under Accessories in the start menu you can Save As jpg or gif. :)

When another person who posts has an attachment, like you Chucky, where do we see it?  I know where to put my own...under options.  But how do I see another's?
