Ok, you can see I am getting very, very uptight, imagine that!! Please tell me the short cuts of posting one or more photo's in a thread. I went to the HELP part but good grief do we have to joinn that thing too in order to get help information from it?? I tried a search for posting photo's but got information I don't really want. All this hi tech crap just irritates me at times, sign up for this, sign up for that, and this and that. Yep, frustrated!! I made all my photo's (125 pixels wide X 93 Pixels high). What size should they be to be allowable to post here?? Maybe this information on the help desk?
Thanks to whom ever holds my hand in this. I appreciate it. Go ahead and laugh!!!
Gary
I don't think anyone's laughing Gary...it's just not like you to get this frustrated. We'll blame it on the heat! ;)
Looking forweard to your pics.....

First it was the religious men who held the power, then the financial men, and now the technoids.
I look forward to the next group that will rise up and CRUSH the computer techies for all their obtuse instructions.
(Disclaimer: not counting those techies who genuinely know how to HELP dumb knobs such as myself who have no inclination, just want to use the #$%#$^#$ computer, not make love to it!)
happy coaching!
buswarrior
Thanks for the support Warror, believe it or not I am sitting here waiting for a reply from someone for at least a few more minutes on how to do this. I look stupid!! Yep, feel it too!!
Gary
Well, in a nutshell, you must have your photo on a server someplace (not your home computer unless it's addressable from the internet via a domain url).
Then, select the button above that says "Insert Image" (second from left, bottom row). This button will insert a start and end tag "img" which are surrounded by square brackets "[" and "]".
Once you have the two tags, place your cursor between the two tags (i.e. between the "]" of the "img" tag, and the "[" of the "/img" tag), and type or paste the full address of the photo.
So, '['img']'http://www.gumpydog.com/bus/Uplink/040617.c.truffle_cat.JPG'['/img']' (without the single quotes around the square brackets) shows up as

Or in theory, you can select "Additional Options", select "Browse" button, and find your photo on your pc harddrive. Select it and hit "Post". Looks like the file must be less than 128K.
See if it works...
You've gotten some great advice there Gary!
Personally, I use the 'additional options' button to post pictures on this server. That way you can use your home PC to post them with.
the photos must be less than 128Kb or no more than 4 photos with a total of 128Kb.
Then again, you can add whatever pictures you can the first time, then go back to "Modify" and add more, which breaks the 128Kb rule.
Good luck.

The problem with this is that I can't seem to ever get a photo less than 128kb even with my little cheap camera set at its lowest resolution!!
Most pix must be resized with something like Photoshop or other pix editing software.
Gary, your pix should post with the sizes you have. The "Additional Options" > "Browse" is how I get mine posted.
Just click on the "additional options" and browse your computor for your individual photos you wish to post. When you resize them, store them in an area that you can go right too...just click on the name of the pix and it loads it up. DO NOT preview the uploads...it will toss all of your work. Just post it and it will go. If your trying to "Preview" the photo...that has not worked for me. If you need to make mods...edit the work. Or edit prior to adding the photo. Add the photo as the last step.
Should appear almost immediately...unless your on a dial up. You got broadband don't you? Cannot imagine that you loaded all those excellent Timmonsville pix on a dial up.
Good luck with the pix post. They should post just like your webpage...
Gary, try to not figure it out until Timmonsville...it'll give us something else to do!
Jack will have to do a seminar on uploading photos!

Hi Gary,
Earlier posts are correct. Nobody is laughing. This is how I feel when I must constantly ask for VERRRY basic advice on my bus.
Does this post help - it is from the Help board. You don't have to join that board for help. It is on this site.
http://www.busconversions.com/bbs/index.php?topic=179.0
Let us know - it gives advice for FREE picture resizing. Also, many of your fellow busnuts, myself included, will be glad to resize your photos until you get the hang of it yourself.
Please let us know!
Kind Regards, Phil
:)
I give up, I give up, I give up!!!!!!!!!
Gary
good grief!!
once more!
again, keep changing pixels in computer to get one photo anyhow.
Ok, here goes, 4 photo's.
Alright, it's my turn. Usually I'm fairly good with computers. I have yet to be able to get a photo to post. Now that Gary has broken the ice, and some good information resulted, I'll give it another try.
This is a photo of a conversion that I took last week in Homer, AK. I had to wait for low tide to be able to tresspass close enough to get some pictures. That is a VW logo on the nose cone. Does anyone recognize what it used to be?
By the way, I found a cheap ($25) jpeg optimizer at tucows.com.

No, she's just inspecting my work to make sure it's up to her standards.
She thinks it's her bus. She gets very upset if I won't open the door for her to come in when I'm out there working.

Gary, what software do you use to put the captions directly on the photos? That is one thing that is missing on the majority of photos posted so they are for all intents and purpose useless to those wanting to know what is being shown. The software you are using could make them a lot more meaningful.

Hello Dave PD4104 here, I just posted after having many probs. First go into pic that you want to select. right click, then click on properties. This should tell you file size. Mine were all around 254KB. Depending on your software. go back into the picture or pictures you want to post. single left click on file to highlight it. Then without moving your mouse or cursor off of item. Right click on your mouse. menu should pop up. You want to edit picture. When you select edit, it may pop up with another window which has some other options. If it has a resize option, you would click on that option. Mine came up with smaller/larger web or smaller/larger email. The email option tended to resize to the smallest. I chose Web smaller. It brought my pics down to 38. and 57 KBs which was small enough to enter.
Oh yes it will or should prompt you to save the resized picture. Click on yes to this. You should then be able to browse back and select it from the additional options. If you want to double check whether it worked. Again just right click on the pic/file and click on properties. It will give you file size. If it smaller than it was previously, you were successful, if not try it again.
Good luck
Dave Harmer out in Victoria, British Columbia
Dave PD4104 from Victoria, BC, if it does not have the step up, it is either an older transit or possibly a 4106 gauging from the aluminum and the approximate size of side windows.
My cat is a nuisance. He'll get into wherever you need to be to work. Looks for any warm item. Got a drop light or some sort and he'll get right in front of it...until his fur begins to burn. More than once he's cooked himself sitting in front of halogen lights.
I worry about him visiting inside the bus and getting left inside. He got locked inside the utility bay for about 24 hours and damaged the tank level sensor wiring. I had to pull the freshwater tanks to fix his handiwork. BAD cat.
This is a sample of the problem....this is also a practice posting of pix!
Cheers, JR
Homer Spit has some ..... shall we say .... very eclectic vehicles parked along its banks - never saw that one though
I'm going to give it a try and see if I can get a picture to post. Here goes.

Mine's been locked in the bus a couple times. I cut holes in the air tunnel in the middle bay which will eventually be connected into the basement air return. She loves crawling into the tunnel by the drivers seat, and coming out in the middle bay, or vice versa. A couple times she got inside the bus while I was working in the bay, and got locked in. I don't think she minded it much. When we don't see her for a day or so we check the bus to see if she's in there.
Tell me about that generator. Looks like a belt driven head. Did you build it?

Congratulations, you got it. Almost! LOL
33.24 KB, 240x180. These numbers on the photo indicate the quality and physical size. If you can increase these numbers to the 60kb range and the others to the 800x600 range you will then have a full page, high quality photo.

The genset is a Yamaha EDL650 that has been removed from the sound enclosure. All the electrical components are mounted on the wall in the first bay. Getting onward to 100 hours of issue free service.
The engine is Kubota. Very frugal thing to operate.
The box has been cleaned and covered with 1" Rubbatex (Rubbetex?) steam pipe insulation. Made it much quieter. You may recall complaints about the noise of these units...Brian Brown had an identical unit in his other coach. The sound insulation made a good bit of difference. Totally acceptable now.
As small as it is, it's a tight fit into the condenser box.
Cheers, JR
Hey, JR. Glad to see your Yamaha install!
Yup, I had the exact same unit on the 4106... frugal is right, since I hardly noticed on the fuel bill whether it was running or not. It was a bit LOUD, but I think you've got the right idea on how to combat the noise and vibration.
For those unfamiliar with the unit, here's a few pics and details of how I shoehorned mine into the old '06: http://www.brownland.org/bus/genny/

Looks like a GMC parlor or transit (can't see whether there's bays or not... so '04, '06, or a Fishbowl) or even a Flx New Look.
