    Cool Cool Yard Sale Bargain!

    I found a really cool Military Hydration "Day-Pack" for a buck at a yard-sale today! However since this new #$%@& system won't let me upload any pics I can't show it to you! However it's in the ACU camo and is brand new. If I can ever get this cockamamie thing to upload pics I'll show them!

    Cool Here goes...

    It's not working, Rick! I used two different cameras; one uses a lot more bytes than the other. I keep getting something that says "file to big" on that one and "undefined" on the other even though the byte size is smaller. AGGGHHH! I never had this problem under the old system! This sucks!

    I had the same problem when I tryed to upload pics earlier today. I ended up uploading my pics to Picasa and then using their Picasa url to get them here.

    I sent a note to Chris earlier this week because I do think something changed on picture uploading. You can try to copy the picture from your camera to your PC, resize it, then try to upload. OR...use picasa or photobucket.

    Cool 3rd time.

    Sarge did you right click on the photo and go to the properties and copy the url from there?

    Ok I think I figured it out how to upload stuff without using Picasa or Photobucket. If you use the go advanced thread reply and click on manage atachments then click on add pictures then click on basic uploader button at the bottom right corner of the add file window then you can select your file and upload it.

    Sheww.....
    Did you get all that

    Random picture I had on my computer
    amish.jpg

    *if you click on the picture it will get bigger*
    *can still do it the way I described using Photobucket in post #10*

    Sarge - upload your photobucket pictures as a jpeg file, not an html file.

    In Photobucket, if you scroll over your picture with your cursor a drop down box will appear. There are 4 options to choose from. Email and IM, Direct Link, HTML, IMG code. If you click on the IMG code box it will say copied. Just come back to the forum and paste it where ever you want. Then your picture will display.

    Rick: When I scroll over the pic nothing happens.

    Crash: How?

    Sparky: That's what I did at the beginning but it won't take 'em. Also, I don't get anything that says "properties" when I right-click on a photo.

    When you right-click on the photo does a box pop up, if you get a box to pop up the properties button will be at the very bottom of the box. For example if I right click on your avatar a box pops up, at the bottom of the box it says properties, if I click on that box it opens a new box that is titled Properties in this box it says Adress (URL): http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...ine=1294890926

    To bad you couldn't have found one in camouflage. Hahaha

    I found a med alice, and some foreign surplus bag at the dump one day. I was a happy camper.
    I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.
