post photos

[dgie]

What other website allows you to post photos I am having trouble posting on this one.

[Debbolas]

The very fair and famous Rexone posted this in the past....I know it is a lot to read, but it will really help you post pics...........:D
Here's a message I've posted in the past on this...
================
First thing is you must have your image hosted somewhere on the internet.. This can be ***boatimage center or elsewhere, doesn't matter. What you can't do is have it on you own computer and have it appear in a thread.
Assuming you done the above...
Bring the image up on screen wherever you have it hosted (we'll assume ***boat image center for now).
Right click on the image
A drop down menu will appear at the bottom will be properties
Click on properties.
A window will popup showing information on the photo.
One of the thing will be the URL address which starts with http....
Highlight the address (starting with the http) with your cursor
Go do edit on your tool bar (edit) and click "copy" (this copys the address you just highlighted to the clipboard on your computer)
Now go to the thread you want to post in (a second window open is handy for this)
When you post you will see a series of buttons at the top of the posting window.
Click on IMG.
A separate window will pop up that will have http.... in it. The http... will be highlighted. Hit delete. Now the box will be blank.
Now go to your tool bar again (edit) and click on "paste".
This pastes the address of the picture (which you copied earlier) into the little window.
Click done or whatever it says to complete. You will now see the image address code appear within your posting window.
Its important you only have one http series within your IMG tags which is the reason we hit delete above. Otherwise you end up with two and it won't work.
When finished your code should look something like this (with no spaces) and substituting [ ] for my ( ).
(IMG]http://yourpictureaddress[/IMG)
You can type message above or below the IMG tags but don't disturb them or anything between them because that is your picture address code.
In other words you could have...
--------------------------------
Hi, this is my boat
(IMG]http://yourpictureaddress[/IMG)
For more info call such and such.... and so on.
------------------------------
In the above example one line of text would appear above your photo and one below. The part between the IMG tags is your photo.
hope that helps.
:D

[Debbolas]

The part he leaves out ( I think) is to sign on and register at the Hot Boat Online Image Center. Upload your pics there first, then follow this directions...................;)

[dgie]

I already tried and they may be to big or something like that. I was going to post them somewhere else and then go thru the process of draging them back and posting them on my thread, because something is getting hung up somewhere and they are not going to my image center that I created.

[Debbolas]

Be sure they are .jpg pics.
When I open my pic files, at the bottom there is an option as to what kind of pics you want to download....I change that to .jpg pics only and then I have no problem.
Size shouldn't matter unless you are doing your avitar.
good luck:D

[dgie]

yep checked earlier they are jpg's

[Debbolas]

and they still won't load to the Image Center?
(thats odd,):confused:

[Debbolas]

[dgie]

I know, I can't figure out why...I was thinking of posting somewhere alse and going thru the process of draging them back.

[dgie]

thats me, but not the pictures I am trying to upload though. I am trying to get some pictures of my reverse lever cabling up, to see if it is rigged right.

[79miller]

What username are you using on the image center?

[FOURQ]

i have a pic post on my site here (http://www.southwindjetboats.com/pic%20post/index.php)

[dgie]

I have to use dgie1 because someone posted for me, the pictures under dgie and I do not know what password they used.

[79miller]

I see the beached boat. Did you try fourq's page?

[Debbolas]

I'm at a loss:confused:
The only times my photos wouldn't upload, they were not .jpg format.

[dgie]

I am going to try it now,,,by the way the beached boat is not my boat thank god

[Debbolas]

going back to look now, didn't see that one:D

[Debbolas]

W:eek: W

[79miller]

I told him not to set his anchor at high tide....

[dgie]

I guess today is just not my day. I get an error on that site also when I hit upload photo.....:(

[79miller]

You can email it to beached_boat@yahoo.com and I'll try posting it.
Serious I just created the account. Someone already had beachedboat@yahoo.com....

LOL :D
So what is the story behind that boat?:cool:

[79miller]

there is an underscore "_" between beached and boat. Not a space.....

[dgie]

I will e-mail it now. Debbolas I started a thread on Just jets about it under beached boat check it out,,,,,there were a lot of questions on that thread about it and a few comments as you could imagine :D

[dgie]

I guess from now on I am going to be known as the beached boat guy ;)

[79miller]

I'll take a look.
G

[Debbolas]

I don't know..........I've never been to the "just jets" section.................:eek:

[dgie]

do a search in just jets,,,,,we will let you in for 1 hr only :D

[79miller]

No pic yet.
I think it would make a hot avatar...

[Debbolas]

K
I am stupid because I did a search for the Beached Boat and found nothing!!!
I need a link!!
I am jet challenged!!
:D
Hey is there a thread over there about gas consumption ?
Jet Boat VS IO?
Our friend Ahhell has a jet and apparently he gets horrible gas millage/hours out of it. Is that just a jet thing, or special for his boat?
Debbolas<--------wants to know;)

[PlyaPlya22]

hey Deb..just wanted to pop in and say How does ya. Tell scream momma's looking for him.......PlyaPlya22<====not a thread jacker

[79miller]

It's a jet thing. Not as efficient as prop.

[dgie]

I am trying to link them now I will check out the thread and give you a link for it not sure on the consumption thing

[Debbolas]

Ok, we were just wondering.........It's his first boat, so maybe he isn't use to filling up a boat, ya know;)
Can't find the Beached Boat Thread.......................:(

[dgie]

hmm not sure what the deal is it is taking forever just to link one to my e-mail to you. The camera we used was a 5 megapixel not sure if that has anything to do with it. Does not seem to want to link though.

[Debbolas]

FOUND!!! the beached jet thread!
:D

Oh no, he will get used to it!
DGIE- any luck on sending the pic?

[79miller]

Link por flavor...

[79miller]

Missed your post.
It might be huge. I'll keep checking. If it's too big, Yahoo might bounce it back...

[dgie]

I sent 1 it took forever for it to link. Try to figure out what the deal is with that pic maybe I can do the same thing here with the others.

[79miller]

Just got it. Give me a minute....

[Debbolas]

I bumped it up to the top:D
I hope our friend does get use to filling up his jet.........what good is a boat if it just sits because you don't want to spend the gas$$?:rolleyes:

[79miller]

Way too big. I crunched it down a little....
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/506/1850revcable.jpg

[dgie]

did you have to crunch it down to get it in the image center?

[Debbolas]

What is that?

[dgie]

thats the thing that kept me from having fun on the lake yesterday :( It is my reverse cable I am going to post it on my just jets thread to see if it is rigged right. and here now if any one knows?????????

[79miller]

I did it anyway, but I think you would have too.
The original is 2032 x 1524.
I shrunk it to 400 x 300 pixels.

[dgie]

how do you crunch down a picture?

Oh...........
That was my second guess:D

[79miller]

Looks ok to me, what exactly is it doing? Stuck in Forward?

[79miller]

I open it in Photoshop and resize. I think you can do it in Microsoft Photo editor...

[dgie]

Debbolas i assume you have a boat what kind? wana race?

[Debbolas]

Lets go!!:D
We use to own this cool little jet boat with a foot pedal (it was shaped like a foot):D
Now we have a 26ft Kachina (with the stock engine)
I love my boat:D
(just don't ask me to go above the Needles Bridge)http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/500/1566boat_almost_in_water-med.jpg

[dgie]

looking for either of those and not sure if I have them. still looking, thanks for doing that. If I can not figure it out can you do 3 more for me?

[dgie]

Damn that must be $$$ a little out of my budget. The good thing about jet boats is out here in Texas they are rare, even though they used to build them out here too. go figure.:confused:

My husband had a "mid life crisis" and bought a boat and a motorcycle:D
(my life sucks)
LOL:D :D

[79miller]

Send the pics to the same yahoo account and I'll put them up for ya. Don't have much else to do. My wifes at a bachlorette party and I'm sitting here drinking cocktails out of a Roadraper cup...

[dgie]

I assume the boat is yours,,,,,,,oh wait did you say husband?....then the motorcycle is yours too :D

[dgie]

ok I will ask what is a Roadraper cup?

[Debbolas]

Yes!
If only he would have mid life crisis's more often:D

I had one of those too till my Wife slapped me and told me to Snap out of it;) :D

[79miller]

Nice boat! Like the colors.
I'm still happy with the jet. And yes I do have a foot pedal shaped like a foot....

[Debbolas]

I am happy with the ill gotten gains from my husbands mid life crisis............I will take a motorcycle and boat over a "fling with a babe" anytime!
Debbolas<----------very happy:D

[79miller]

It's from RoadRunners on the parker strip. $12 mix of Vodka, rum, everything else, some fruit juices, finished off with a float of everclear. Good times and you get to keep the cup...

Sounds like one of those wild nights in the Philippines only you get to keep the woman :D oh back in the day...........

[79miller]

It's perfect for the Parker, but it would take me three tanks to go damn to damn.

[dgie]

another one on its way

[79miller]

Here's picture number 2....
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/506/1850revcable2.jpg

[79miller]

After the third roadraper you might think your puking fire, but at least your not pissing fire....

[dgie]

let me throw one more your way this one is the reverse lever looking from the outside. the other pics get kind of repetative, so I will say this is the last. I appreciate it.

[79miller]

No problem, send it over.
Is the lever in the forward position in the pics?
Can you grab the reverse gate on the jet and move it from there?

[dgie]

After the third roadraper you might think your puking fire, but at least your not pissing fire....
Yea, never been there and don't want to go there, no bore punch for me thank you.....I think Deb bailed, sorry Deb I am an Former Marine I blame it on them ;)

[Debbolas]

I'm still here, just trying to follow your conversation;)

[dgie]

Is the lever in the forward position in the pics?
I am trying to remember. I actually cut the cable and mounted just the end in there to get it on the board to see how to rig it. The cable got tweaked and I chunked the rest of it. New one on the way from CP should be here by friday. I just dont want to tweak another one.

[79miller]

Let's just say after one of those "Wild Nights" you might need a trip down to the clinic. After Roadrapers you might need some advil. Or another roadraper....

[Debbolas]

Ok, I will stay away from that place then:D
Night all, talk to ya later;)

[dgie]

Yea you should have seen the line, Im glad I was not in it.....the next one is attaching

[dgie]

Good night Deb,,,,,I promise to clean it up a little in the future

[Debbolas]

No, really I didn't understand what you all were talking about, so no biggie......Night;)

[dgie]

next one is on its way

[79miller]

On mine, I just had to make sure there we nice long sweeping bends, no sharp corners. If you have a diverter, make sure it's not binding as you move it up or down...
The hose clamps could be squeezing it too much. You should use the morse brackets. I think they come with the cable....

http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/506/1850morse_2.jpg

[79miller]

Nighty night! Happy river dreams...

[79miller]

Here's number 3.
Judging by the pics it should be in reverse...
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/506/1850revcable3.jpg

[dgie]

I think it is in reverse, I do not have those clamps though. I am not sure if it is getting supported enough and it is just tweaking because of that.

[79miller]

Do you have any pics of the connection back at the jet?

[dgie]

No its the standard Jacuzzi 12wj jet hookup back there. No pics and the boats at my sisters house about an hour from here.

[79miller]

That's the next step, if I think of anything else I'll post it in the other thread in Just Jets.

[dgie]

I am thinking it is rigged backwards, not sure if the cable is supposed to be up or down....my thread is over there I bumped it to the top when I posted the pic. Thanks for doing it for me.

[79miller]

No prob, see you over there...
