Re: attaching photos on iboats

First off, the picture has to be on the internet somewhere, not just in your computer. <br /><br />You can put your pictures up on a free internet picture hosting server. Here is one that is run by SONY<br /> http://www.imagestation.com/ <br /><br />Note, signing up with this site will put you on their mailing list, but what do you expect for nothing?<br /><br />Sign up, upload your image.<br /><br />To post a picture on iboats:<br /><br />Go to the full sized picture on the internet or hosting site, not a thumbnail.<br />Right click, then click "properties".<br />Highlight the URL address, <br />then right click on it and click "copy". <br />THe URL must end with "jpg"<br /><br />Now come back to you post here on iboats.<br />Click the "FULL REPLY FORM" button below the reply dialogue box.<br />Click the "image" button that appears below the dialog box. <br />Paste the URL into the text box.<br />Click ok.

Hello,
I have tried this and can't get it to work. Every time I try and attach the picture it comes up "invalid file". What am I doing wrong?

Has anyone had luck with Webshots service? I have an account with them but it's been a pain with the number of webshots emails I get. How does Photobucket compare?

Go to http://photobucket.com
Make you an account.
Once done, click on upload and click browse, fine the picture you want and click it, then click upload.
There is an option there for the size you want.
640X480 is just right for this forum.
