Uploading photos

Post by GeoffSchultz »

Photos can be directly uploaded to the forum. Here are some instructions on how to include images in your post:
  • Under the "Edit Post" box where you're entering your text for your post, you'll see a section titled "Upload attachment". In there you'll see a box labeled "Filename" and a "Browse" button next to that. If you click on Browse, you'll see a directory of your computer system. Use this to select the image that you want to display.
  • Click "Add the file."
  • Repeat the above for as many files as you want to include.
  • Under the "Edit Post" box you'll see a box labeled "Attachments" with a drop-down list of files that you've uploaded. These files will be displayed at the end of your post. If you want to include the image in-line, click on the "Place inline" button and you'll see some bb-code appear in your post with the name of the image. Move this to wherever you want the image to appear.
  • If you want to delete an attachement, you'll find the file listed under "Posted Attachements" and there will be a "Delete file" button next to it.
If the image that you want to display is on a web site:
  • Click on the "Img" button in the "Edit Post" box.
  • Paste the URL of the image between the "IMG" tags

Hey very cool Geoff, I didn't know if you had the server space for it. That picture of Bluejacket would make a nice banner at the top of the site. I think she has earned that spot. :)

Here is Kerri with the latest addition to our fleet. This was a "free" craigslist find. The boat was still in it's original box, never used and we hope to have hours of fun playtime with it in far away anchorages. :) I notice that when I post the photo as attachment it's quite easy but I get scroll bars in my browser at least. When I link them they come in whole.



Thanks

George

Aaaaand I just realized that clicking on the photo expands it to full size. Cool.

To try out addition of photos, I am posting two of our 1986 36/38. The first with a single reef and the second in calmer conditions (heading from Tortola, BVI to Anegada).

Awesome boat and of course... what a setting. :) I never really got it until I sailed there.

Geoffrey,
Thanks for setting up this great site! I missed the old factory website... I thought I would add yet another Freedom in the BVI's

It shows up when you go to post a reply or when you start a thread.

You might have to scroll down to see it. Click on "Browse" and navigate to where the photo is on your machine. Easy peasy.
