Talking About Adventure In Small Boats

Looks like you are getting the hang of it.
On the first one where the photo didin't show up it looks like you put a [/img] tag on the end of the URL. Otherwise it would have worked.
I didn't know that you could paste photos. I am guessing that the image resizer cannot work with that format. That the reason they are showing up so large.
Try to use the [img] tags if you can.

pic test ..... image is 940 wide ....... (from the banner in my blog). saw some other (too) big pics posted and wanted to see if the image size noted was really a restriction. I don't normally post pics this large btw. All my image files reside on my website and not an online photo host. I'll have to change that someday to aid in trip reports on the fly.
gonna try out the image re sizer?
and so it shows 940 wide, so I'll set it at 600 wide and see how that fits on the screen.
there should be a size we should all shoot for, maybe even limit it on the re size function?
edit: 600 still looks too big on my monitor so now here's 480
bottom line: seems the image re sizer is not working for me? Maybe it doesn't like my aspect ratio?

Use the [img] tags and it will resize the photo for you.

Not at this time. Main reason is that it would greatly increase server capacity requirements. But in the age Facebook people are beginning to expect little stuff like that.

KonkererOfTheUseless, I have posted photos in the forum from my iPhone with the following steps (all from using just my phone).
Note that I have a photobucket account and also the photobucket app.
1. Take picture with iPhone. It is stored in usual place
2. Open photobucket app and use it to upload the picture to photobucket
3. Navigate to uploaded picture with photobucket app and get to the screen with the direct links to the photo.
4. Choose the "IMG" link. The image tag is copied to the clipboard
5. Go to Watertribe forum message and paste the Image tag in the message.
By doing this, you can post pictures of sea monsters trying to eat your kayak during the OFC for the rest of the tribe to see.
Test- Lake Erie yesterday moring. Used Phone, posted to facebook page, opened photo in new link and link posted here. If you are going to post to your FB page anyway then posting here is easy. (yes, it took me two tries to get it right!)
Hey Jeff thanks for the Photo bucket steps. The OFC start is now less than one week away and I can't believe noone has started a weather thread. The forum seems really,,,,slow, no that is not the word. ?

The posting pics thing I understand the bandwitdth memory/storage thing but I am on a lot of other sites, where we post pics, engine problems, wiring, mechanical issues and a pic is a thousands words. Delete the pics after a time period but make it easy to post pics so we can get the point across. I am a computer primate, but this has always frustrated me on this site that it is difficult to post pics. DWM
