And another test, this time with, say, more "mainstream" images... :D

Just a test to see if this all works.

Just checking...

Try this again... :cool:

Just trying to see if I can get on the new system.

The cotton picking picture didn't show up the first tme. Let's see if it will this time.

I guess that I didn't get it below the allowable size. Let's try one more time.

Even though I can get the max pixel size below those listed, I can't get the total file anyway near the 200Kb required. I'll mess around with my photo programs awhile and try again.

Last try today. Got it down to 200.2Kb. Program allows only 195.3Kb. Try again later.

One more time

[IMG]jul11_02.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]dec1_06.jpg[/IMG] I am just guessing how to do this not being very computer savy and not having a list of instructions for step by step. fingers crossed and here goes :D

PHOOIE!! I guess that wasn't the way to do it. time for more head scratching and guessing.

THIS IS PART OF ONE OF MY WALL DISPLAYS, SUCESS YEA!!

When you want to post a picture upload it directly from your hard drive .
Below the posting text box there is a bar that says 'Manage attachments'
click on that and another window will open with a 'Browse' bar , click on that and find the folder on your computer that holds the picture you want to upload , put your cursor on it and click you should see an option that says 'Select' click on that and the filename should appear in the box , then click on the 'upload' bar . If the image is not too large it should appear in your post , if it is too large it will not upload and tell you that is the problem .
If that is the problem you must downsize the picture to meet the file requirements .

BTW Lee , when I open the manage attachments bar I get about 5 browse buttons , is this for multiple attachments ?

One for the dha guys!
 

Need a few dha in this thread. :D

You should now get 6 boxes. I changed it so one would not have to wait for them to cycle 1 by 1 when adding multiple pictures. (I can change it back if this is confusing). The limit for number of attachments per post is 12. Attachments cannot be wider than 640 pixels - we can change this if we need to - and there is a 200,000 byte limit - which is more than sufficient for a properly optimized jpg image.

Six Boxes
 

Good idea , I'm for leaving it .
Anything that makes it easier .... :D

Does my coat of arms show ?

question
 

How do I upload my own "avatar" ?

Hi Radu , you can submit your avatar to Lee .

The best feature of this forum is that you can directly upload images from your computer . We encourage members to do this for continuity's sake . If photobucket crashes we lose all of your valuable pictures . If you upload them to the site directly they wil last forever !! :D

Please read the Photo Posting thread also , that would be the best place to post photo questions .

Meanwhile welcome aboard, enjoy our new toy !! :D :D

Been playing all day..
 

...with these new features. As for the lack of dha, well hears a new Bangkok era blade I picked up last trip.

Hmmm! Well that's not working back to the FAQ page!

Once more into the breach
 

Ok, guess the files were too large -didn't have that problem before but let's give this a run.

OK now having looked at this I'm not real pleased with the result. I had to shrink the pics to around 240 pixels wide with a resolution of 32 ppi just to get them to upload. Not enough detail in these to get a good look. What am I doing wrong? HELP
Also everything is loading real slow - it that the new software?

Also how can we insert text in between the images?

For the answers to these and many more questions ...

" Ready Aye Ready" Great new forum , I like it a lot.

A few answers
 

Please take a peek at:
http://http://www.vikingsword.com/vb...hread.php?t=25

The server seems to be a bit slow, but is slow in the old forums too.
Really slow may be a narrow internet connection and posts with large images.

If you are loading the images to the server as attachments, I do not believe that you can intersperse text. If the images are on your own server space and you are placing them with the image tags (little picture icon in the editor) then you can. This limitation is inherent in the software package.

Testing :D

Ok, I try
 

Ok guys, now i'm trying!!!

Still testing

Just an other test with the font.and colour! :D

Picture not sended to Lee for posting
 

Congratulations on forum improvements, well done. Lee, many thanks for all the posting done before. This is a test for posting three quality contemporary silver dha.

Barung blade
 

Ibeam, that is a knice Barung blade. What did you etch it with. Nice job on the etching. Can you post photos including the hilt.

lee, i guess you have a similar vinta. hope you find it. thanks for uploading my avatar.

Thanks Kino,
I have not cleaned nor etched the blade. This is how I got it. Unfortuantely, the plume on the kakatua is broken off but I do have the piece and have to put it back together. Here's da pic. :D
