moose · 2nd December 2004, 02:47 AM

well I'm in.

Never posted a lot before. But have enjoyed the forum and look forward to the new one.

I'll get around to posting some photos.

It will be great not to have the pictures in a thread die.

Congratulations on the nice new layout. Pics size for upload is a bit limited though. And John, how about a peek at your Madure blade.

Rather · 2nd December 2004, 08:07 AM

Very nice layout, indeed! Have to try all functions. Lovely old photo of German Naval officers approx. 1885. Third from left, lower row was the great collector of ethnographic weapons I do own today. Hope you enjoy it.

Hey, in a sense, it IS ethnographic...

Just a test to see if this all works.

Try this again...

Mick · 2nd December 2004, 10:02 PM

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

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 ?

Ian · 2nd December 2004, 11:01 PM

Need a few dha in this thread.

Lee · 2nd December 2004, 11:03 PM

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.

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 !!

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

Meanwhile welcome aboard, enjoy our new toy !!
