Test of Pic Loading/Viewing
« on: October 13, 2003, 11:56:23 PM »
Okay, I've stored a pic on line with AOL -- let's see if it shows here:




Nope, that didn't work.  So much for posting a pic on another website so it will load in a message on this bulletin board.

I understand why the previous easier way of attaching pics to messages took up too much space here.  

But I don't understand why the controls on this message board or the procedures or something doesn't make it a whole lot easier to again post pics here.  

Some of you make it look easy.  Most of us, however, I suspect just don't get it yet.

Can any of you skilled pic posters explain how you do it in really SIMPLE terms so that even I can understand the procedure?

Let me give it a try Halo .. Its pretty simple once ya get it down but here we go..

First of All make an account at Saw's Picture Hosting  http://www.onpoi.net/ah/index.php

Okies Second.. When you log into the site,  Click on the "New Entry" Icon located near the top.

Thirdly it will bring you to a page where it says "Browse" And thats where you search your hardrive for the image that you'd like.  

After you do that,  and locate the file you click the "upload picture" button.  Thats where your picture will be uploaded and you will get a little message that says .. "Your file has been uploaded and Click here to go back".

And when it takes ya back,  scroll down to where it says "My Collection"  your picture should be a small thumbnail,  and right next to the thumbnail you will see three categories:  "Raw Link"  -- "Image" --" Caption" --

The One you want is the image.. So just highlight everything that says in that category even the " /img's "  .. And when your ready to show your pic, come back to these forums and in your message just Paste it,  and that should do it!

Good Luck!

Here's the pic again.  Panicked and deleted it when I saw how could open my files on it.  Then realized that is just the personal file management for our individual computers, not access for everyone.  Duh.  Oh well, here is the routine P-47 cockpit pic again:
