How do you send an image here?

**29palms** · 14-Oct-2003, 05:03 PM

Can someone show me how to send an image? I have pictures in a cd.

I'm not sure I understand "send an image". Do you mean upload a photo to the message board? If so, you can only upload 1 photo per posting (unfortunately). Here's how. When you post a new message or reply to an existing one you will see a button bar at the top, where you see the smiley face. On the far right hand side you will see what resembles a paperclip. Click this button and enter the address of the photo or click "browse" to find the photo on your PC, CD or floppy. When you click on the photo (or link) the address will appear in the file source box. Enter a discription, if desired, and click "OK". This action will upload your photo to your message. Depending on your connection speed, it may take several seconds.

If you have a lot of photos to share you can contact Chris and he may be able to post a page of you travel photos for you. Another option is putting your photos on a site like Photos.Yahoo.com (or a whole host of others) and posting the link in a message that we can click.

I hope this helps! I also hope this is what you meant.

Thanks alot Randy. I did manage to download about three photos of Panama, on MSN photo but I was skeptical about sending it as a link. I felt like someone could change my homepage or mess with it somehow. Am I wrong?
Also, I did try downloading an attachment photo file here but it mentioned that I had too many bytes or something, and it wouldn't take. These are photos from a CD. ??? Too big?

It sounds like your photo is too large. You'll need to resize it to upload it to the forum. Microsoft Photo Editor (which probably came on your PC) is a good way to do this. From past conversations I think Chris may have another program to resize photos for the forum.

Once you get your photos on MSN you can post the link on this site. That way all we have to do is click on it and it will take us directly to your page on MSN. Generally no one is able to change your MSN settings without your password. Whether you realize it or not you always use this password to sign in. You may not always type it yourself it may have been placed on your PC as a "cookie" by MSN when you signed up and the site just automatically "reads" it off your PC. There shouldn't be anything to worry about.

"subscriber area only" is the message I get then clicking the link. Not sure what's happening. Is there a setting you could change to make the photos public. Again, not sure. I just know that Yahoo has these types of public/private settings.

Hi 29Palms,

It sounds like Randy is giving good advice here. Let me know if you need any additional assistance.

I hope this does it

Got it! A side street in downtown Panama City.

Those are the only two pictures I got on that page. I need to get a good scanner and go DSL so that I can get more serious about building a good page on that forum. www.virtualtourist.com That part of downtown I understand is called SALSAPUEDES area. Very old and they are trying to make it more touristy. The difference between Old San Juan, PR and Salsapuedes in Panama is that poor people actually still live in those buildings in Panama City. In Old San Juan, they turned it over to the tourist.
