Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Hang a pic, again-

Nice pics folks.

So, how does one go about entering a pic in a reply? I'm new to this stuff. See an icon for "enter an image" on the toolbar above this reply but don't know how that works. Help please?

Thanks,
geno

Get a photobucket account, upload the picture to photobucket then hover your mouse over the picture and a box will pop up. Move your mouse to the box that says IMG code and left click.
Then you just right click and paste it to your post.

Any way to do it without a "photobucket" acct? No way to just import a jpg from my pictures folder on the hard drive? I've got enough "accounts' with enough internet places already and would prefer not to have another.

Thanks for the info though.
Geno

Nope, unfortunately this type of forum isn't set up to do a direct import from your hard drive.

It is not necessary to specifically use Photobucket, but it must be a web-site hosting for the pic. It's just that a lot/most here use PB.

The picture must have a URL to show in a post.

There is a good tutorial on posting pics in the photo forum.

It ain't hard...I can do it.

Thank you ironbender. I'll take a look at that post and see if it can work for me. I'm on a work computer and there's certain things allowed, and certain things not.

"It is not necessary to specifically use Photobucket, but it must be a web-site hosting for the pic"

and this accomplishes what compared to directly uploading it from my files? Just asking as I am new to this stuff.

Geno

ps, nice lookin' pooch. I sure miss mine while I'm up here working

I've already told you more than I know.

There are other hosting sites than PB. By uploading your pic to a web host it gets a URL. I don't know any way to post a pic on the fire directly from your hard drive.

Despite the apparent seriousness of its injury this Kangaroo hopped away after I cut it free.




Using speed cameras to raise revenue is an artform in Australia ! Oddly enough,nobody likes speed cameras.

Hey Friend,

I thought I would give you a close up of the Ziggurat:





For those who may not know the significance, this is the birthplace of Abraham, from the Bible.

Right next to the Zig (75 yards), is the ruins/dig site where archeologists have uncovered many of the artifacts. I have escorted a few American VIP/archeologists to the site.


Directly in front of the Zig:

There are a few people that post here who are worth reading, yourself included. Please keep 'em coming.

That is extremely kind of you to say.

Thank you sir.

Very nice, Mr. Sagebrush. Thanks for the good view. Always thought it was crazy how close it is to the air base. The Zig was one of a handful of archaeological sites I'd try to pick out while cruising around. Samara, Arch of Ctesiphon, and Babylon were others but don't have the pics of them.

Looks like a nice AR that you are toting around there as well.

Cheers!

A mount I found interesting in Cody, WY. Called "The Unusual" for obvious reasons.



One of the greatest trophes of all time. I just wish it wasn't in a plexiglass cage.

LOL, I worked in the Babylon neighborhood too.

There are some major digs within a days drive of your old air base, out in the middle of the desert. They are not exactly easy to get to and you had better know exactly where you are going and understand that "roads" tend to litterally dissapear.

Raiders of the Lost Arc kind of stuff. It is not the most hospitable place on the planet to run into vehicle, water or any other kind of issues.




Hello On-STAR?!

Sagebrush-
Yep, I believe you about the Indy Jones stories. Bet you could tell some good ones. I never spent time on the ground in Iraq, much easier doing circles above it burning dinosaurs. Hopefully, at least, the noise made some bad guys think twice about trying to pull something.

I have spent more time than that in Afghanistan and other hot places around the Gulf. Plenty of adventures to be had there as well, but I'll let the locals have it as soon as possible. Looking forward to getting home. Best of luck to you as well, whether its the next time you are overseas or wherever home is Stateside.

Vairboy,

Same to you my friend, and stay safe!

You can directly attach a picture file to a post, hit reply, then click 'file manager', then upload your picture. It must be a jpg, it must be less than 100 kb.


The problem is it won't embed into your post, will just show it as having a file attached, then people have to click on the attachment to get it to open.

The work around this is once you open the attachment, get the web address for it, then go back and edit your post, this time using the 'insert image' function.

Very Rube Goldberg type of maneuvering, a real pain in the butt. Having to resize the images first is enough to keep me from doing it, let alone all the other back and forth necessary. Photobucket is the way to go, about 4 clicks and you're done.
