Did you read the first few posts in this forum? The only way that I've done is to first have a picture out on the web somewhere. Second, use the "Insert Image" icond at the top of the message box where you're typing. Once that box comes up, insert the URL for where your picture is. Click OK and you should be done.

For people with on-line photo accounts, like smugmug or flikr, there's supposed to be other ways of including more pictures per post. I don't have those kinds of accounts, so I don't really know.

These are by far the best instructions I've seen on any board. Very comprehensive. I'm sticking to this claim even if this test doesn't work the first time.....

Posting photos from flickr

This ain't exactly intuitive (at least not immediately) on the flickr site, but it can be done. The good news is you can pick the size you want to post. Nifty!

1. When you're looking at a photo, just above the photo is an icon/link named "All Sizes." Follow this.
2. From the sizes (Square, Thumbnail, Small, Medium, Large, Original), select the size you want, which will display that size on the screen.
3. Copy / paste all of the text in the "Copy and paste this HTML into your webpage" box into your forum post. The photos should appear in the "Preview Post" screen.

Works on flickr video also!

1. When viewing a video, follow the "embed" icon / link
2. Grab all of the text in the "Copy and paste this HTML into your webpage" box and paste it into your forum post

But there's a catch! A direct post will leave the CLSID (an internal program ID used by Windows) for the Flash player visible in your post.

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"> <param name="flashvars" value="intl_lang=en-us&photo_secret=1985ed0ef8&photo_id=3467508123"></param> <param name="movie" value="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377"></param> <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" bgcolor="#000000" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="intl_lang=en-us&photo_secret=1985ed0ef8&photo_id=3467508123" height="300" width="400"></embed></object>

If you remove the following text from your post prior to posting, everything will come out ok:

classid="clsid: D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377"> <param name="flashvars" value="intl_lang=en-us&photo_secret=1985ed0ef8&photo_id=3467508123"></param> <param name="movie" value="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377"></param> <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" bgcolor="#000000" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="intl_lang=en-us&photo_secret=1985ed0ef8&photo_id=3467508123" height="300" width="400"></embed></object>

What are the negative affects of removing the CLSID? Not sure. If you can see the last video - which was posted without a CLSID - then it works fine (IE / Firefox / Windows can still figure it out).

Happy Posting!

Posting video from YouTube in the forum

1. Find / open the video in YouTube
2. Below the video at the bottom-right, there is a little box with a yellow "Subscribe" button and two text boxes named "URL" and "Embed"
3. Copy / paste all of the "Embed" text into your forum post. The video should be visible when you preview your post

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tqvkNDx6JwM&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tqvkNDx6JwM&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

Happy Posting!

No video?

"Actually," never mind on posting videos. It works here, but I'm not sure it works elsewhere in the forum. I just tried posting a reply that included video, and the forum didn't seem to want to acknowledge the "object" tags. When I pasted, they went in as text, not an object.

Thoughts?

I think "HTML code" has to be "on" for this to work. Looks like it's off in the thread I was posting to, but it may be on in many other places on the forum.

Still tryin

Lets try again, What setting do you guys use on your cameras for resolution size?

 

[20774]

I think most people are using one of the higher resolution settings on their cameras when taking the original picture. But when posting on the forum, it's necessary, at least strongly suggested, that you reduce the resolution so that it will fit easily on the screen without going past the margins, requiring a viewer to scroll to see it. Generally, something like 800x600 is just fine. Note that computer monitors have very poor resolution to start with so putting a super fine resolution picture up for viewing is a waste of everyone's time and bandwidth.

There's a Hotel de la Gare in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Could that be it?

 

[johnrobbo12]

Hi Kurt,
Yes you are quite right there is a Hotel de la Gare in Clermont-Ferrand, France
but that is not the one in the picture.
The one pictured is south of Le Puy-En-Velay on the D906 near the village of
Villefort ( I think ), so not that far from where you thought.

[nrpetersen]

I went thru the first few pages (all from 2004) of this long thread - but can I still only upload one jpeg pix/ posting without using smugmug or equal?

 

[20774]

From what I understand, yes, only one picture can be uploaded unless you are using a web hosting site. If you use a web hosting site, you can then put numerous links into one post. I actually don't have an account with a web hosting company, but I just have some small website provided by my ISP. That is enough for me to host several pictures.

 

[Semper_Fi]

Kurt is right - if you attach a picture in a post using the MOA server, you can only upload 1 image. For web image hosters there are several ones you can get a free account, I use photobucket.
