I Am Still Trying To Figure Out How To Post Pictures. Do I Start At The Image Center?

[Eliminator 4 Life]

If you have them saved to your computer then you just type a message then scroll down to the bottom to manage attacments and then you up load the link that is how I do it.

[famaffair]

It tells me my file is too big.

[ahhell]

Commander owners usually have really big .............files :D

Rex posted this and it helped me when I first joined........... :cool:
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.(the mountain and sun button)
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.

All my questions answered.........................cool :cool:

[a catered life]

welcome to the boards famaffiar really nice boat there :p great gel. as for your question when i got my first boat i wanted to know about overtons myself and basically they have a lot of stuff and some fair prices but you will have to wait for the mail and watch some of the hidden fees like shipping. make sure you go to the boat show and compare the prices there some of the dealers there will work some magic for you if you buy on the spot. overtons is not that much cheaper than many of the marine shops locally. good luck and welcome to the boards :smile:

[Waldo]

Make sure you purchase a left-handed box anchor at the boat show! :D

[DryHeatOnly]

West Marine (in Orange on Tustin between Katella and Lincoln) isn't bad for ropes and other general marine stuff.
Newport Boats in Corona (off the 15 at Magnolia) has a good selection of fenders and other things.
Congrats on the new boat :cool:

F.Y.I There is a new West Marine in Riverside. On Indiana directly across from the Tyler galleria.

[ChumpChange]

The upcoming boat show is the best place to get things like that. Top Knot will be there as they always are. They have the best ropes and will have discounts for the show. If you want to see their product online, go to www.mooringlines.com
