Testing Photo Posting.....

If last post says "Delete Thread", it's OK to do so.

First Test:

Default in Options
Cut/paste of Gallery pix URL


[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...042810_043.jpg[/FONT]
[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif'][/FONT]

Whoa!......

OK, got it figured out. When I click on a photo in my gallery to get the link, the default size that shows up is a smaller image and the URL is to that smaller image. If I click on the image itself, it switches to the larger, original size image and the URL changes. So, depending upon which image is being displayed in my gallery, the URL for pasting into the message (using the Insert Image function) will vary depending upon the image in my gallery that I'm viewing. So, what I need to do is resize my original and than make sure I'm viewing the original in the gallery when I copy/paste it's URL.

1. Post your photo in your gallery.
2. Click on that photo in your gallery.
3. Under the photo you'll find a URL to that photo. Copy it.
4. Go back to your message box in the thread you want to post it in and find the little yellow postcard thingy with the mountains on it. Click on it.
5. A dialog box will open up. Paste the URL in it.
6. Post your message.

Should work.
