Also, does anyone know why using the [img] & [/img] BB code wouldn't work with a .me site?

Yes... because that is not an image (photograph)!

How is it not an image? Those who use photobucket are simply bracketing the LINK to their posted images with the img BB code correct? Shouldn't
other hosting sites work accordingly?

One photo i see (?)
Nice orange tones too
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Well, I clicked on your link and I waited a long time for it to load... and it was showing me it was a video clip loading... If it wasn't, then try a
better site to host and upload your photos (photobucket.com). The [img] code is for single photos/ images... and please pre-size them to be 800 pixels
or less when you upload from your PC to the image hosting site.
The image url you tried to link doesn't have the correct .jpg or other code at the end.

Your photo is absolutely beautiful! Opened beautifully, but would like to see it here.
OK, you have inserted a link to the site---don't know if the site you are using has what photobucket has.
Under each photo there are four choices of things to copy, and one of them in the IMAGE code and that is what one copies and pastes here to have the
picture show directly on the forum .
Here is what a photo looks like on photoshop with the codes underneath
Notice that the information is enclosed by image tags---so one clicks on the image tag which copies it and then pastes the code here
Check to see if your storage site has automatic image codes.
Again, that is an amazing photo---the light is just wonderful and truly golden.
Good luck---and warning, photobucket does mess with the quality of photos---so while I find it FAR from the best, it is the easiest.

Thank you Diana. I'm determined to sort this out with a Mac w/o using an external site. Maybe I can do it via Lightroom. I'll get it soon and flood
this site with Baja sunrise/set images...been collecting them for years.
I also have heaps of pics featuring my Tundra hopelessly buried in mud. Those are always fun.

There are instructions posted at the top of the photo forum as to how to post directly from your computer to the forum. HOWEVER, you need to reduce
your photos to 50k-----
Hope you can find another way. I understand your feelings about external photo storage, but I do hope to see your photos at larger than 50k!
Good Luck!

It actually has to be LESS than 50 kb (49.9 or less), but that doesn't mean the photo is tiny... just the file size if Nomad is going to host it here.
However, using photobucket.com is sure a breeze with the automatic PIXEL re-sizer... 800 pixels or less in width will not distort the page.

Here is your image. Leave off the characters after the jpg in the url. In this case it was "?ver=1234345 " or something close. and for future
reference 800 px wide is the prefered image size.

Edit: As BajaNomad has resized Willy's photo to 800 pixels, no need to use my re-sized example here.

Anyway, just an offer... to comply with Doug's request and so the 15" monitor folks don't have to scroll to the right for every reply in the thread.

DON"T use photobucket to do your resizing---as you can see, DavidK took your picture and put in on his photobucket site and it appears he resized it
there--
and using photobucket for that significantly reduces the quality of the photo. Overall, photobucket is not good for photos ---- I use it to store,
but don't like it. And resizing with photobucket--well, you see the results. OK, I guess, for snapshots, but...........
Your photo is too good to mess up that way---Besides the quality, your photo is also more dramatic larger, but most have given in to the people with
the small screens and do resize to 800 wide. But use your own software and the quality will not be so damaged.
I am really curious as to where that photo is stored and I would like to understand what Willy is saying?

DianaT and bigzaggin , that photo by bigzaggin is stored at
http://gallery.me.com/totallyunsatisfied/100139/L1020517/web...
and accessed via a flash file here
http://gallery.me.com/totallyunsatisfied#100139/L1020517&...
You can go to the second link above, right click and "view photo" which will give you the link to the photo, with the extra code "?ver=12936452450001"
delete the ?ver=12936452450001 and you will have a direct link to the pic, for use here with the BB Code.
I didn't bother resizing, {sorry to folks with small resolution screens}( monitor size doesn't come into the equation)
The best way to resize and optimize a pic is manually, using photoshop, fireworks or the open source Gimp software. Relying on a wizard or photobucket
is hit or miss. Trial and error with good software is quick and will give you better results.
I hope that is clear, if not, holler.
btw, web space is cheap. You can have your own url to store your photos with out needing a web site, just one page for each pic. ( and you could turn
it into a website or a blog in the future)
