When the administrator has the time to fix the problem, or try an
upgrade to a newer version of the software.
I've figured out what the problem is, but not what is causing it to happen.... which may take some time to do, and I've been very time-challenged as
of late.
As has been pointed out, the hotlinking feature remains an option (just like the avatars work).... example:

I would suggest getting a free webpage (like yahoo/geocities) and setup a photo alblum there for now.

Buy a web page from Doug or contact me and we can give you a source for ~$50 a year.
You are ready to have you own page....
I think the number of photos posted
Tucker - 8-15-2004 at 07:00 PM
per person should be limited to, say 4 per month. My friend JR has posted just incredible numbers of photos, high quality I must say but using a lot
of space in the system, no expert, but I think that may help!

Everyone's entitled
jrbaja - 8-15-2004 at 08:59 PM
to their own opinions. Which is why I go to those that know of what they speak for answers!
And so as not to be rude to my friend Tucker, before boring yall wid a whole passle o fotos, I talked to Doug and it's all about size, not so much
quantity.
But, I don't think photos are going to be happening on here for a while so if any of you new folks want to see some of the ungringoized Baja, go to
http://groups.msn.com/TheBajasBestGuidesPhotoAlbum.
No politics or soap opera bs. Just pictures and stories of Baja! with a few personal messages thrown in. Ignore them if they bother you!

Your logic does not ring true.
Tucker - 8-15-2004 at 09:07 PM
No entiende Amigo?
jrbaja - 8-15-2004 at 09:12 PM
My logic doesn't ring true? Do you know something I don't know about posting fotos on Baja Nomads? Cause I'm always asking for advice.
Try removing the period (.) after albums
Tucker - 8-15-2004 at 09:20 PM
It might show up as a clickable link.Bob and Susan - 8-15-2004 at 09:26 PM
JR
That's your webpage
Load a picture to your webpage and hotlink to your post. The picture will show with your post w/o a link.
No extra space charged to Doug and the picture is posted.
Just don't use anothers web page as your source page and you'll be politically correct. Maybe for the first time?
Later you can take the picture down and the bandwith will be restored.Tucker - 8-15-2004 at 09:35 PM
I know what I am doing. Hotlink?? Politically correct??? Posting fotos????
I think I need some mangos! Right away!!!!!David K - 8-15-2004 at 10:29 PM

Not to ignore you my friend, but if you got the low down, please show us by posting (hot linking) a photo.
In my civilian terminology... the two ways to make a photo appear on the message board (here) were:
1) to click on 'brouse' (below where one types your message)... and that searches YOUR computers files where you pick a photo from. The concern was
FILE SIZE of said photo... Doug asked that we reduce the file size to 50 kbs or less (not the easiest for some to do, but a lot was posted about how).
THIS FEATURE IS NOT WORKING NOW!
2) 'HOTLINKING' as I have been doing from my web site and others (that gave me permission, as 'Bob and Susan' noted)
To hotlink, a photo needs to be on a web page on the Internet (vivabaja.com for example). Go to that photo, use your mouse and right click on that
photo. Copy the photo url given in that pop up. Now, go to a new post window here on Nomad. Click on the 7th small box above the message window (looks
like a landscape picture with a tiny black arrow on the corner of it). A window pops up where you take your mouse and paste the url into it. Follow
instructions and the url will appear in the message window where you can add text.
How about a photo of Bob H and his esposa in back of my truck, on Shell Island?>>>
Great Egret

Or, memorize and type in the source code which appears ahead of, and behind, your pasted URL. Thanks DK

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I'll work on a photo web page.

Photo Album/web page
bajapablo - 8-19-2004 at 08:21 AM
Bob H, I made a photo album on AOL and then posted the link, the only problem was that you had to be an aol member to view it. I noticed that soemone
had posted a link that I could view pictures from their album, so I went there. It is webshots.com You make an album with the pictures you choose
and they store it on a web page and then you post the link and everyone can view it. Very easy with simple directions yet I have not figured out yet
how to do it (I think it has something to do with aol bs) but that is how I how I am currently trying to post pictures.
I use MSN and it cost's 19.99 a year for 30 mb of storage. 3 mb is free and I had about 75 photos on there.
Now that I have semi learned about reducing the size of the files, I can put on a LOT of photos and the stories take up very little space.
But, I don't know if I can get photos from there to post here.
So, I have become used to going to everybodies pages to see their photos. It's cool.Bob H - 8-19-2004 at 01:59 PM
JR, someone mentioned to me that when you go to your sight and you select a photo that you want to attach as a hotlink you just add .jpg at the end.
See if that will work.
Bob HBajaNomad - 8-19-2004 at 04:10 PM
Issue resolved. See Announcements forum.
