I know that you can only post 128k. Can someone translate that into pixles x Pixles please?
Thanks!
Glenn
Now I'm really confused. My picturs are 102KB and they won't fit? What am I missing? PLEEEEEEASE?
Glenn
Tenor,
I can feel your pain ;D ;D ;D. I use Google Picasa 3. It is relatively simple to resize pics, and to use in general. I would just try posting your pics as an attachment. Do you get a message telling you that the pic is too big? My guess would be that it is something else.
God bless,
John
I use Photobucket, this is sized to 800 x 600.

This is the best way to post pictures that I have found and used. You don't have to resize them and add them using the additional options link below. Quick and Easy!
HTH,
Paul
Paul,
Looks like you actually inserted that into the post. I can't do that since my pics aren't online. That is why I post mine as an attachment since it is on my computer...
God bless,
John
BTW I really like that pic of your bus. Looks great!!! Sure some way to get pics of your favorite machine up :P ;D ;D ;D.
John316,
It's really easy to do. Once it's loaded up on Photobucket it's a snap to post on any forum. You just have to sign up for the use of their service. I used to use Webshots, but I have found this is much easier.
By the way, when the opportunity arises, go for it....Hee Hee.
Paul
well what about this?
Didn't work for me!

Paul -
OK, walk us neophytes thru posting a pic to MAK/BNO by using Photobucket. . . enquiring minds want to know!
How do you insert it into the text, for example.
;)
First you have to open a Photobucket account.
Download pictures from your computer into an album.
Once the picture is on Photobucket hold your mouse over the picture and you will see a box below it. It has links for HTML, email, direct and IMG. I use the IMG, copy the code and paste it on the post anywhere.
I don't know if it will work on BNO, as I@n's site is much different than the MAK. The way you have to do the code is time consuming and frankly a pain.
Ace, Your pictures were already sized too small for them to be larger when clicking on it. That's why I'm a big Photobucket Fan.
Paul
Example,
This is a photo of John and Tami's MCI.

You can insert the code anywhere you want, and then add another picture with the description.
Here is a picture of "Catskinner".

Ok Got it! Thanks!
Ace
Looking Good Ace!
Paul
Thanks Paul! Your Eagle looks a LOT different from when I knew it! You have done a lot of work to it!
Ace
thanks everyone, especially dreamscape for the detailed destructions! The photobucket is cool!
Glenn
Ace ,this allows you the opportunity to free up some space on the computer.Once you upload the pictures to photo bucket ,you can now place all your photos stored in your pc on to a cd to free up a bunch of space .good luck
(https://busconversionmagazine.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi457.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fqq292%2Fcwvanhagen%2FWELCOMETOVEGAS001.jpg&hash=cab30b6a309a8a1cdaa633f79e16fb2b2b1776b0)
To add to Van's suggestion. I carry a portable 250gb hard drive and store all of my pictures there, pics take up a lot of memory. After loading onto Photobucket they get dumped there.
Ace,
Thanks for the compliment! A lot has been done with more to do, lovin' every minute of it!
Glenn,
Glad you enjoy it as much as I do.
Paul
OK, let's give this a try.

Success!
Very nice looking GMC Don!
Any more pics?
Paul
Looks good Don!!! Nice looking bus!!!
God bless,
John
Following the advice of a fellow busnut that did a seminar on digital photography at Bussin' 09, I purchased a 500 Gig harddrive at WalMart for about $100, box says it should hold 142,500 JPGs. They also had another hard drive that has a capacity of 1 TetraByte, this would hold over 1/4 million photos .
Thanks Paul for the Photobucket tip and instructions. We presently used Webshots, I will have to try your instructions on Webshots and see if it works there. If not, I reckon Photobucket will have a new client. Jack
Okay , I went to photobucket lets see if it works for me, if so then one more has conquered the picture posting dilemma.
Thanks , ED

One point to add about long term photo storage. ALWAYS have more than one copy of photos that are important to you. Hard drives can fail entirely or can develop issues that corrupt a file to the point the image file won't open or has major image damage. CD's and DVD's can even fail (although rare). And online services can have technical difficulties resulting in lost photos or have been known to suddenly go out of business.
So whatever methods you use, keep your irreplaceable photos stored in more than one storage medium.
I couldn't figger out how to do this on Webshot, so I signed up at Photobucket. Since it so COLD outside (high today is 49), I spent most of the day sitting at this here computer downloading photos to my new Photobucket Site. You can see the albums at http://s682.photobucket.com/albums/vv186/OBS-JC/. There is is main album and 7 sub-albums. I tried to arrange the photos in some kind of order. The sub albums are Electric, Exterior, Interior, Coach Construction, Misc, HEAT/AC, and Engine Compartment. I will probably add a few more sub albums and more photos later. Jack
Thanks for idea on Photo Bucket, it could not have come at a better time!!
As long as it is cold out ( you call this cold?) maybe I can get Jack to rearrange my album, he did a nice job. Jack our Canadian friends call this spring ;D

jjrbus,
Nice Oak Wood Work!
You have done a fabulous job!
Paul
Thanks for the nice compliment. How do I get the picture to work?? Jim
What do you mean? Post it on the Board?
Paul
Jack,
Great picture of the Orange Blossom Special
John
You mean like this?

That's an awesome self portrait! You must be the Sun King! ;D

Go to the thumbnail picture that you want to post.
Click on it.
It will open into a larger picture.
When you click to enlarge on the photo that you want to display look on the right and it shows some different options for posting.
Look at the last one that says,"IMG Code" and copy and paste that to your post on this bulletin board, without using the image icon to insert the image, since it already has the image commands added.
move your cursor to the end of the last bracket to continue your post. You want nothing other than the URL that you copied from the photograph inside the brackets.
Finish what you are typing and click on Preview to see if it worked.
If it did, click on Post.
If not, Beat on the computer in frustration, my favorite tool to do this is a 28 oz framing hammer.

I see. I didn't realize it was all from photobucket and was trying to do it from desktop. This is pretty much the way it looked when I got it. The only things different that you would see in this picture is that the mirrors have been upgraded and the roof air horns removed.

Firefox 3.0.6
Hmmmm, I just tried it again and it wouldn't do it right because it added some extra letters and stuff at the end of the URL.
So try this:

Yup, that worked.
I'll change it in the instructions I posted below.

Everyone knows you dont use a hammer on a computer, a three iorn is the preferred tool!!
Well I'll be, my extended dysfuntional family has did it for me again!! Thank you many times.
I probobly should not mention here that the reason I am making an album is I plan on selling the bus this year?? Anyone that has any ideas, thoughts or tips on the pictures, I am all ears!
If I can do it, anyone can do it. ;D So here goes, (https://busconversionmagazine.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi181.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fx97%2Fwilldecker%2FNicepicture2.jpg&hash=124d895a6914f4cca09972f259e6dad8505ce82b)

I was living aboard with my son and that night around midnight I gave up when I realized I was supposed to be on vacation and this was really feeling like work. I told myself in the morning I would ask Zubin (my son) if he wanted to keep working on it or should we just go camping up north. In the morning I gave the little guy the chance to make the decision for us, walk away and never come back or tough it out and he decided we should keep on working on it. Until then Z had been a bit whiny and only half helpful (for a 6 yr old) but once being there was his doing he was on board 100%, my own little gopher, right in the thick of it, oiling the drill bits as I fabbed up a quick trailer hitch and generally being up to speed on what needed to get done. Changed my relationship with him forever, we both grew up a bit that day (him more than me).
Now let's see if this works.
Excellent, thanks for the head up on how to do this. BTW there was no running water on board at that point, as usually I wash up a bit before getting all fancy and cracking open a can of tuna for dinner.
What the hell this is easy!
This is my before (and it's still before!) of the interior of my Prevost ;)
