On our trip this past week we had some fantastic weather a little colder than we were used to, little bit of rain near BOLA. Gonzaga was crowed. Was
happy to see all the new work done to the rooms. The place really looks great. Here are some pics we took.

Thanks but not sure what that is?David K - 1-1-2013 at 08:52 PM
Here are the two methods:
There are two methods... One is direct onto Nomad from your PC files, using the 'Browse' button under the normal posting box... In that case you can
only post one photo per post AND it MUST be UNDER 50 kb. in file size. Since this is smaller than most all photos you have on you PC, you need to make
a duplicate file with the photo size REDUCED to under 50 kb.
*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 top 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.liknbaja127 - 1-2-2013 at 02:43 PM

1) Go to your Photobucket Page (it must be the original version, not the new Photobucket format. You can switch back, top right corner).
2) Click UPLOAD (top of page)
3) Click: "Customize your upload options" (top of page, right side, in small blue text)
A pop up will give you all the size choice... 640 is ideal for most photos here on Nomad... 800 is the biggest and will fill the Nomad frame... I use
800 for maps and 640 for most all else.
4) Click: SAVE (at the bottom of that pop up).
Now just pick photos from your PC that you want to share here.
