so let's try post a shot.... Damn it works! This is a 10'3" single fin gun I just made from a 10'4" Clark second. Total cost was $80 the blank, $23 the resin, $26 the glass, say a few bucks for sandpaper and tools... less than $135!
If you are trying to post a picture, from your computer files directly to the body of the message, try this...
__________________________________________________
1. You have the image stored on your computer and you know it's location and filename. I.E. "my pictures", "my documents", wherever. It also has to be within a certain file size limitation.
2. At the bottom of your message, you'll see a bar that reads "Attachment", "Browse", a little box that reads "inline" and a button that reads "Upload attachment." Click browse, navigate to the location and highlight filename of your image. If you've resized it, choose the resized version of the image. Click the "inline" box and then click "Upload attachment" button.
3. Go to your message and place cursor where you want the image to appear. Now go to the area above your message and find the little box with a picture of mountains (second line below the cut and paste icons.) Click the box with the mountains... a box should appear and you will need to click the "inline image" circle and then click the image you want to have appear. Click "submit" and image should appear in the body of your message.
What 'inline' means, is that you want it in the message, not just a click-on link at the bottom. To do that, check the box beside the 'browse' button you have been using to upload attachments from your files, go through the same procedure, except when you have uploaded 1, 2 or whatever, you then position the cursor where you'd like to put the picture, click on the square picture icon John mentioned, when it comes up you'll have a menu box, your choices are Image Location or Inline Image. Choose Inline Image. Up will come a list of the uploaded pix connected with that post. Pick the one you want there, hit Submit and there you are. If you've uploaded several, choose the one you want, then repeat where you want the next one.....
... Doc...
here you go, 'Wildy', and others...THIS thread almost NEEDS to stay at the top of the forum, as it's a very frequently asked question, in my opinion, anyway. And, HEAPS of people want to share their shots to encourage others, and share the stoke... I know I want to anyway...and it seems I'm not alone in that!

thanks ,guys , for making it a "header" [?"sticky"] or whatever, now we can find it quickly...
My next question is... when it's a thumbnail 'bitmap' someone sends us or posts , HOW do [if at all] we get it BIGGER ??
... here's an example ' T.F.A.D.' [at "Surfer"] had, which I posted on the 'let's see some artwork ' thread, then discovered it was TINY !! [he said I could use his shots by the way] : -
... Is there any way to enlarge THESE to , say, at least 4 x 6 " size shots on the computer screen ?
THANKS, guys, your help would be / is MOST appreciated !! ...
You can do just about anything.....but there's payoffs and penalties. If you have the original, larger image it's one thing, ya just go with that. But enlarging a small image, especially JPG format image, that can get kinda interesting.
For instance - your original image was only so big, usually 72 dots per inch, so many pixels wide by so many high. And a bitmapped image? So, ya have the maximum amount of info yer gonna get from it, as opposed to a JPG or GIF that can mebbe be tweaked a little. You only have so many dots to work with, y'see. Doubling the size ( using a Resize/Resample function in the photo editor of your choice) gets you this:
Not bad..... but you notice that the edges are getting a little fuzzy. You can tweak how you resize it, depending on the software you use to do it, and get some slightly better edges, less hazy and fuzzy. What that does is it kinda guesses what's in between the dots in the original pic and puts something there and sometimes it works very well...and sometimes it doesn't.
But when ya start going a lot bigger...ya just run out of information, in a way, and then you get something like this....
I actually ran this through a 'Sharpen' filter in the graphix software and still, it's awfully fuzzy.
However....don't give up hope quite yet. If, say, ya go with an original scan of a photo, you can scan it first at one DPI resolution and then with a higher DPI, thumbnail from the first one and full-on image from the second one. Or, if you jiggered around with the original image to make a smaller pic in the first place, of course.
Or, there is this;
If you think about it, interpolating what's between the dots , between two known data points, and getting a useful answer, that can be powerfully useful to do. Engineering, science, manipulating shots from spy satellites, all kinds of stuff. There is software out there that can do it, and it's likely to be out there in an image manipulation program, I just don't know about it.
Testing this 'inline' stuff. But I only seem to be able to get the 'Basic Editor' so I don't see the button with the mountains.?? So... I'll not 'inline and see if it still attaches the pic.

Hi Les. The Basic Editor is what's biting ya - but you can change that. Click on Edit Profile up towards the top, right betwixt to Main Index and Messages. When you get that page up, do the Display Settings link, swing down a bit and change your Post writer/editor: setting to Advanced Editor. From that , Note: The advanced editor requires Internet Explorer version 5.5 or greater, or a browser based on Mozilla 1.4 or greater , so ya may have to do a little upgrading to either IE 6 or the most recent Mozilla Firefox, either of which will work just fine.
Then, you're armed and dangerous. You can do the stuff we've been talking about above and stuff the seagull in just like this
Yea! Thanks Doc, I tried editing my profile and found that it didn't work, prob. older Expolorer. I now have FoxFire, nice! So here's an inline pic test...
It works! Thats my daughter on one of my boards.

I agree, this needs to be a "Sticky". :)
