Test posting photo's

[Bob Falter]

After having it on the To-Do list for 10 years I finally loaded some photos to the internet.

These may be too small?

Enjoy the game, Bob.

[Bob Falter]

Thanks John but that didn’t work either. Nebraska screwed that up. (Glad Texas showed up for their bowl game even if they had to beat Iowa.)

As far as the photos go, TC says it won’t work with Yahoo. I have an account at Photo Dump but have had trouble uploading photos (Installing their photo upload software for the second time now.) I tried to set up an account at Photo Bucket but they didn’t like my Yahoo email address (tried 4-5 times).

Oh well, I went ten years with out uploading photos, guess I can go another ten.


Hope you have a very good 2007,
Bob

Hey Bob,

When I have used Photodump, I don't remember having to install any special upload software, just clicked on the links on the pages that say UPLOAD, and then BROWSE, and found my photos on my HD, double clicked on them, and then hit upload, and they were transferred to their site! I think they use some standard Java or other applet that works directly with my Internet browser!

Another option that I mentioned in the HOW TO article is using your ISP's Personal web site space!? What is your ISP, and have you checked into whether they provide any server space. I've got 10MB for each of my screen names, can have up to 7 email addys with my 1 acccount! I don't actually put up a WEB PAGE, but just use the server space for the photos!

You may have to go to the home page of your ISP, click on customer or account settings, and SETUP your web space first before you can MANAGE/ACCESS it.

Otherwise, try using Photodump again, just log in and then click on the button to UPLOAD photos, and follow the prompts without trying to install their special editting/uploading program!?

Thanks for the help T.C. I'll give both of them a try.

Bob

[Bob Falter]

Try again.

[Bob Falter]

That's too big.

Hey Bob,

Glad you got it figured out! I just saw a post by Confish04, and he used the "Attachment" function, I didn't know that it worked?

So..this is a test of that attachment function. I'm not sure where they are stored, I'll have to check with JP about this?

[Ken Talbot]

I'm a bit surpised that the attachment function works too. I know from talking with JP quite a while back that the intent was not to have everybody 'attaching', or we would run out of space pretty quick. The various free hosting services give us the benefit of seeing photos with the posts without gobbling up space that has a cost associated with it.

Wow! Nice clean scoot dude!

Hey Ken,

Just spoke with JP, and he explained how the photos/attachments are stored, they are converted into text, like the usenet groups UUE files, and are stored with the Database text/message files. He had me adjust the amount/size of file down to 85K for most photos of the 640x480 size, and to TURN ON the display photo in message vs. readers having to CLICK on the attachment link. He said we'll see how it does, and IF folks take to using it, vs. their already trained way of using their own server space, or public photo hosting site?

So....it works, and it will NOW display photos within the message, so we'll see whether the space gets eaten up too much/quickly!?
