Hi Mike, no, we sold it a couple years back. And damn I miss that place!!

I like the size of the pics you posted, keep it up and forget the rest.

PCbaja - 1-1-2013 at 11:00 PM

Again, nice size pics. Noone seems to care but the usual.

*The BETTER way to show your photos is to hot link to them stored on another website... such as Photobucket.com. It is free (to a certain limit) and has an automatic resizing service... In this case, Nomad requests photos to not exceed 800 pixels in width.

On Photobucket, to upload from your PC,

1) click the red button 'Upload now'.

2) In the next window you see, at the bottom of the big box, in small blue letters, click: Customize your upload options

3) In the pop up see these choices (and more to resize to):
100x75
160x120
320x240
640x480
800x600
1024x768 ...
>>Pick 640x480 for most photos... this is the selection refered to as 'Large'.
>>Pick 800x600 for maps or max. detail images max. size to fit on 15" screens.

[note: this doesn't affect your photos on your PC, just sizes them for perfect message board viewing on any PC]

4) Select photos (press Select Photos button) from your PC to resize and store on Photobucket. You can have multiple files on Photobucket to organize them.

Now, to put on Nomad!

1) Place your mouse arrow over the photo (in your Photobucket album) you want and get a small pop up with some codes for linking them to various media.

See the one called 'IMG code'? Click your mouse on it to copy it... It will confirm 'copied'.

2) On the Nomad posting box, paste that code.

You can have text above or below the image link... have several images perhaps a dozen max... and then do a reply post to add more... so as to not have too many on a single frame.

The photo url begins with http:// and ends with .jpg (usually) and the IMG code puts your photos url between the tags [img] and [/img]

If your photo is already on a web site, you can click this icon located above where you type onto Nomad (not quick reply):
and just put in the image url, and the tags are automatically added on to show your photo here.

*Photos that are over 800 pixels wide will distort the Nomad page wide, off the normal 15" screen making view them and reading text (which is also pushed off the screen) uneasy... just fyi... and trying to be helpful!

I uploaded them in batch mode directly from my phone (and then emailed the URL's directly). I can go direct from my phone to photobucket (using the photobucket app) as well, but it would take me a lot longer. By emailing the url's directly I can manipulate them in word to add the html code very fast. It took me < 5mins to post 30+ pics. What you typed would take about an hour.

I should have uploaded them with 1024 pixels instead of 1600 and that would have made them a little smaller. Just fixed them up for you sun boy.

For the entire Nomad nation, not just for me JZ, okay... I was not trying to be rude, just trying to be helpful with what is often a difficult thing for some to learn... It isn't my forum, it is Doug's who made the frame width here 800 pixels wide... in 2002, most of us had only 15" monitors, and some still do.

Your photos are beautiful and they should be enjoyed by everyone in full, not just 2/3s or 3/4's of each image that we see when they are over 800 pixels wide. Again, just wanting to help and you can choose not to accept it, as you wish... but thank you all the same for sharing.

Is there an off switch for that guy?

David K - 1-2-2013 at 11:52 AM

Knowledge is free here but nobody is forced to learn. I did not bug him about being in the wrong forum afterall. Great photos override smaller issues.
