Hello Paranewbi...

That photo 'how to' is just one way (from many years ago) and not the best... I highly recommend a faster, and better photo quality method....

=============================================================

There is some misunderstanding about how to post photos... 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. is 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 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.

Click SAVE

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

Now, to put on Nomad!

1) Place your mouse arrow over the photo 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.

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. (make sure the http:// isn't in the url twice)

Baitcast...
Dont make this into a Off Topics post. You have issues with me...take it out of here and back to Off Topics where you had exchanges with me . NO ONE here wants to read this junk you are pushing here.

My credibility is just fine and dandy....I need not have to prove anything to you solely.....or anyone else here. Now get off your trolling here.

Remember I said the biggest Trigger 'I' had ever seen...my experiance with them have been with a sling spear off an inside reef at KM83 out from San Jose on the cape while camping...

We used the shrimp with McFez's bait recipe by putting a good amount of Kosher salt over the surface of a paper plate. Then taking the deshelled small shrimp and laying them out in the salt. Then covering them with plenty of more salt and finally putting another paper plate over for a top and stapleing the crap out of it around the edges.

Left that sitting in the garage for 2 weeks before the trip and at about that time the stink was tolerable! Before we left I put the shrimp in a large plastic ziplock for transport on the kayak while fishing.

We brought some fresh shrimp and gave the plan a test by alternating fresh and then salted...no contest, the McFez recipe killed that competition. He could package and sell this stuff if he hadn't given the recipe away...just like his beer I hear.


Oh yeah!
Hey...that bait gets better with age. Up to a year! Did you get hits every 10 minutes or so?

Sheeesh...lighten up! He just said it was a big trigger! Not a world record! And while a half hour seems a bit long with light tackle it is possible as triggers can "rock" you since they have a "trigger" that they can lock as they back into a cave/rocks/structure and try to wait you out. I just question a secret recipe for the damn things...they will hit a 40 year old Coors pull tab if ya thrown one out there.

Relax all I said was it would be fun if you would share a few fishin pics and a couple of storys with the guys,we don,t get enough of those in this section,like one of the guys said all we get is "where are the fish today"

Off topic no thanks,no more for me,to nasty.
Rob




Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.

I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

Excuse me? Read the post you issued (below). I highlighted the troll in red.

Now.....that is clearly a troll and a insult. I dont want to get into a nasty mud fight with you again, like in O.T. last month. Again....stop the trolling.

Feel free to offer me a apology for the insult.....

Well, I agree with baitcast.

A fisherman who is worth his salt doesn't soak bait.

And a recipe for salting bait is really for the casual fisherman or beginner or meatfisherman. An accomplished angler doesn't get very excited about triggerfish.

They're good eating, but that's the only good thing about 'em. A triggerfish diet gets old in a hurry.:biggrin:

Wow! was a few of those blows thrown at me? This is Great! You guys really do love me!
As for accomplished fishermen...I am the happy recipient of the trophy fish flesh when my friends bring home the bacon. They are of that 'accomplished' status and own the boats and gear to go with it.
Me, I hit the waves while their out and do what I do best. And when their in, some of them do that surfing stuff pretty well with me.
Barring those tidings of good fellowship from their catch...I paddle my wife around the waters and get what I get no where else...seeing my wifes face light up with that non-accomplished catch on the end of her line, Trigger, Pompano, anything...it does not matter to me as long as she is happy. That is the big catch to me.

;D This has nothing to do with you Paranewbi and your fishing this is something that started before your posting.

You can still catch some nice fish without a boat,I went for a number of years without anything that floated your ahead of the game,but I learned alot about fishing the beach and learned to love it,you want to fish with bait you go right on using bait:biggrin:

And yes you are a wise man
