The Home of Photos in Dunnunda! Mk I
how do I post a photo i can't work it out and I am not great with computers
Quote:
NOTE:
To post a picture on PPRuNe, it has to be on a website already - whether your own or someone else's. If it's not, all is not lost ...... read on.
If the picture already on a website .....
It will have an URL (the unique 'address' of that pic on the web)
To find the URL (using Windows):
Right-click on the picture and select 'Properties'
You'll see lots of info, including the URL.
Highlight and Copy the entire URL.
NB: Always highlight from the beginning or you may not get the full URL if it's long.
If the picture is on your hard disk .....
Option 1: Find a friend with a web site who will 'host' the picture for you They'll send you the URL for your picture so you can then post it.
or
Option 2: Use a photo-hosting site.
Photobucket seems to be the best, very simple to use and it's free.
An 'offshoot' of Photobucket is TinyPic but as far as I can see this one does not have a facility to resize the image.
Once you've loaded your picture on the host, it will give you the URL - or you can use the procedure described above.
Photobucket also allows you to reduce the size of any pics which are too big for the PPRuNe web page.
NB: Some photo-hosting services host your pics but won't allow you to link to them from another site.
Size is important!
Picture size must not exceed 800x600 pixels MAXIMUM, to avoid the PPrune thread viewing window becoming too large.
You can see the size of any image (in Windows) by right-cliking on the image and selecting 'properties'.
There are many ways to resize images, and since most photogs have digicams now and these normally come with image handling programmes it should not present too much of an intellectual challenge to produce the correct size!
There are many Shareware image handling programmes plus lots of FREE downloadable ones. A simple 'Google' search or read of a computer magazine or two will produce plenty of ideas. There are also several FREE 'on-line' image re-sizing sites. Here are a few links for you:-
1 Izhuk.com
2 Resizeimage.4u2ges.com
3 Resize2mail.com
4 Online-image-resize.kategorie.cz
5 Graphicssoft.about.com
PLEASE NOTE that since these are FREE they do impose certain restrictions on file types and sizes and normally require you to permit their 'cookies' onto your machine.
Now to Post!:
Begin to post as normal.
Click the IMG button - one of the buttons above the text box. NB: Ensure you have something other than 'BASIC EDITOR' selected in your 'User CP'/'Edit Options'
An 'Input Box' will appear.
Copy the URL into the address line as instructed.
Click OK.
Add whatever text you wish and Submit.
At first, as with any new process involving computers, you'll probably go through some
moments.Common Problems:
No 'Image' icon etc on the 'Reply' screen:
Wrong 'Editor' mode selected.
Picture doesn't display:
Your post may show a link, not a picture - edit your post.
Check to see if 'URL' appears anywhere in the web address of the picture. If it's there at all, it will be there twice. Remove both.
(You've used information from the URL, but those letters should not appear in the final address or you'll get a link instead of a picture.)
You have IMG..../IMG around the image:
You have copied an IMG tag from Photobucket rather than the URL tag. To get rid of it, either edit out the excess [IMG] [/ IMG] in your post or replace the code using the URL tag.
Copyright claims etc
In PPrune, we don't allow pictures which have any commercial links embedded or attached. Please 'edit' these out.
As usual, a PM to your local 'mod' will hopefully result in assistance if you get stuck!

Easy, I hope...
Slackie, is that at the SportAvex in TG on the weekend? Looks like the row of hangers close by the museum. I think its one of the RV Vans, but not totally certain of that. Good show though, I thought Phil H put on a great display in the 152,

Te Kowhai is a well formed grass runway now about 700m long. They even have an above ground BP Fuel bowser there now and heaps of hangarage and a pilots lounge... http://aip.net.nz/pdf/NZTE.pdf
Great little aerodrome (except when Max plants watermellons and pumpkin immediately next to the runway!!
)
Max looked pretty spritely when I saw him at SportAvex last weekend??
