I think that since there is not a forum for forum suggestions etc...., this thread will be posted to serve that purpose.





#1: I think there should be a forum for computer tips and tricks. Not necessarily a full blown help forum, but just a spot for people to ask for basic help like photo help, post about good programs they've run across, and overall just computer related stuff.



anyone else? I think ___________

Good idea; so make a thought provoking thread on it. It worked alright for Money Matters. Personally I don't know crap about PC's or utilizing technology in the forum so I could see people even posting things such as how to post pix in here..etc....that would make it helpful to some.

[woodbuck27]

There you go Bretsky.

How do you post pic's on this forum? Anyone?

[MJZiggy]

Buck, find the picture you want to use on the net. Then right click on the picture and copy the url. (www.Buckspicture.jpg) Then paste it into your message, highlight it and click on the Img button above the box where you type your posts. It should automatically put the right code on it so it comes out looking like this: [img]www.buckspicture.jpg[/img]. If you hit the preview button at the bottom, it will show you whether you've done it right. If you have, just hit submit and you're done.

I see MJ beat me to it, but I'm gonna post this anyway



Woodbuck: This only works for pics that are on a website somewhere else on the web (that is, it does not work for pics on your computer's hard drive). I'm sure you know some of this, but I'll go step by step for the benefit of others who might read. Fool around with it a bit and you will be shitting out pics like Scott Campbell in no time ...

1) Find the pic on the WWW that you want to post, and right click on it.

2) Click on "Properties"

3) You will see and address (URL) that looks something like this:

http://graphics.jsonline.com/graphics/sports/brew/img/jun06/yost630.jpg

4) Highlight that entire URL and copy it (right click, "copy" or Ctrl+C on the keyboard)

5) Paste the link in your Packerrats post, making sure to surround it with "Img" tags.

The easist way to do this is click on the "Img" button that you see at the upper right, then paste the link, and then click on the "Img" button again.
(note: actually, MJ's suggestion is easier yet---I keep forgetting to do it that way!)



Here is a pic of me arguing with my brother.





Caption is optional. I suggest previewing the post before submitting to make sure it all looks good. Obviously I failed to take my own advice, b/c I had to go back and edit.

I think this computer tech support thread is a really good idea. As long as there aren't 100 million questions a day I would think I can probably handle them. Let me talk to mad and see if we can set up a system.

Good deal Partial. :wtg:

And hell, if you can handle 60-70 million per day, i'll pick up the rest of them

Thanks for this link! Lots of great info here!

[Bretsky]

What if I have a jpeg on an email or on hard drive; how do I post that ?

[the_idle_threat]

This is something I've not done myself (I'm still learning this stuff too!), but basically, you find a place on the web that will allow you to upload your picture, and then link to it at that website using the same method as above. There's just the preliminary step of getting the pic onto the web.

There are sites that do nothing but host pictures. Photobucket.com is one that I'm aware of.
