Hi BOAC,
Many thanks for your instructions. The only problem I have is that there is no IMG icon/drop down menu above the text box. Do you have any idea as to why?
Cheers

Yes - I'll modify the post, as it appears you have only got 'Basic Editor' selected (at the bottom of your 'User CP'/'Edit Options').

Select either of the 2 other options - and don't forget to 'SAVE':)

Can you tell from there what I did wrong? (Gnat/Hunter thread).

I tink u clicked on 'insert link' rather than 'image'? I have corrected it for you. FOC:)

Thanks a lot BOAC; sorry to be late, just goddin from a trip.
I can fly the Atlantic but I can't post a picture... hmm.

help, thanks
 

I would just like to say thankyou for helping me to post an image, I have been trying for over two years, and today it took all of 5mins!!
A very sincere thankyou.
Steve

I've followed your instructions and resized the picture to 600x800 but when I insert it, it comes up as a thumbnail. Wadda I do.

thanks for the tips

Fareastdriver - sorry - haven't looked at this thread for a while. I cannot see what the problem is unless you could post in non-ATI where I can access the detail of your post/pic - unless you are sorted, of course.

Looking for some help. I use Picasa web albums as image hosting for Silhouette Challenge. The image does not always display on some forum members pc's. They show on mine, and certainly some members can see them, but not all. Any ideas?

Here is a sample image (if you can see it!):
http://lh5.ggpht.com/_BBfCRtiY3Hg/ST...512/sihouette%
If you can't see it Properties are:
Protocol HTTP
Type JPG File
URL http://lh5.ggpht.com/_BBfCRtiY3Hg/ST...512/sihouette%
Size 25282 bytes
Dimensions 376 X 512 pixels

Skytrain, I can't see the image or open the link... I copied and pasted the link into a new window in IE7 and got a "can't find it" message. :confused:

You quite sure that's the full path?

Is there any log in required to view the image? I can't see Photobucket at work due to net nanny, but I can see it OK here at home and I would imagine that Picasa would be the same.

I have no problem seeing the image or following the link, skytrain.

I'm using FF2.

This is really strange...one of you can see it...one cant!

Treadders, when I click on the link in your message (which I guess you've copied from mine), even though its identical to mine, I can't open it!
Picasa web albums does require me to log in.

And yet Saab can see it ok.

Confused!

To say this is confising (to me at least) is an understatement. The URL for the image as it appears on the properties when its inserted in my posting is different from what appears after I post it!

The URL below:
http://lh5.ggpht.com/_BBfCRtiY3Hg/ST...512/sihouette%
is the URL after posting or when in Preview mode. It is not the same as the URL for the image itself! I tried to type out the URL as it appears on the image in Picasa and put that into this message, but as soon as I click preview it changes back to the above URL.

I am no expert on computers so there is probably a very simple reason for this....or is there?

Link works if placed directly into Firefox and Netscape. Does not work in IE as I get a "Windows cannot find" etc. message.

Don't know if that helps but at least it's more info than we had.

None the wiser...surely I would have a problem viewing the link myself...I use IE?

I'm guessing its a Picasa problem, so will try a different picture hosting site.

Cheers

the virgin media site works ok used to be photobucket

Online Digital Photo Printing & Developing - Order Photo Prints Online from 5p - Virgin Media Photos

it will download an easy loader for you and away you go just follow the instructions

to put the photos on pprune click on the small pic in photobox to make it bigger , right click on the pic and select properties and copy the long file name making sure you get all of it ! ie jpg is the lst bit into the image box on pprune and ther you go

I have been trying to post photos also without success. I have followed the above instructions to the letter and like a previous poster I do not find the box opening after clicking insert image. I have tried all three editor options but still no joy. I am sure you must be getting really irritated with these questions, I considfer myself fairly computer literate but I cannot crack this one. Any thoughts, help etc greatfully received.
