Photos

Wish we could change format so we could simply upload a good photo to share

MT,you can directly upload pics with a post. *When you are starting a thread or replying, just make sure you are in advanced editor mode and you will see some little boxes below the text box. *One of those says "Attach Image(s)" *Click the box and a drop down menu comes up and then select the file you want to upload and then click upload and post away. *you can also embed pictures using the IMG function of a photohosting site such as photobucket, etc.

Just be careful if you embed a post because if it's a big one it will stretch the page out beyond the size of the screen and people will have to start scrolling left and right to read all the posts in that thread.* Not the end of the world but some people find that really annoying.* I think posting photos as attachments using the process Woodsong described is the better way to go.

Did this attempt to attach photo work?

Apparently so.* Sorry for being a PITA.*

I think he might have been referring to some previous posts...

Thanks for the help fellas!!! *AGAIN, a huge reason this format is WAY better than an email list and certainly a leading reason we started this forum.

I know Dave ( skipperdude ) brought this up in a similar topic in Feb but I think it would be neat to double-click on an Avatar and see the photo enlarge or go on a members profile to click on a tab there that would link photos of his/her vessel. There are so many interesting members here with interesting yachts to boot. This doesn't mean to take away from the photo gallery because that is a great place to house other interesting photos.
