that the image im trying to post, but it says,
"The files you may upload must have the following extension: .gif,.jpg,.txt,.zip,.png". any idea why?

[40StudeDude]

That means it must be a file of that kind...usually most are either .jpgs or gifs...however in order to upload a file to the HAMB...you must have: [IMG} in front of the file name and : [/IMG] at the end of it...and remove anything like ?, /, after the file name. And you must use the file name that is atached to your picture.

To wit:[IMG]pictures.sprintpcs.com/shareImage/4556395394_235.jpg]...understand?

[Kojack]

Now it's sayin' you can't share it...

[Fifty5C-Gas]

yup.

i post this, and it still says it had to be a .jpeg, .gif, etc...??????? i dont know.
i put the in front, and at the end...still dont work.

[40StudeDude]

Where is your pic stored/filed? Is it on your computer or on another site like starblvd? That may be the problem.

[Fifty5C-Gas]

its actually stored in my email, and on my desk top.

[40StudeDude]

Then you cannot post it on the HAMB...the HAMB is set up so that you must use another site to store your pix on...like Starblvd...you cannot download pix from your computer ot the HAMB...

which is true? I always thought that I could put up a pic from my computer without using something like starblvd. Ive been too timid to try to post a pic (cause I know id do it wrong). If I scan a pic and save it, can I post it or not? Help would be appreciated.......................Briggs

[briggs&strattonChev]

lets try this......................I wont get my hopes up

[briggs&strattonChev]

holy shit did that WORK??? can anybody else see the pic or is it just me?

Briggs,

You can attach a file (photo or otherwise) using the "post" button. Just after the text box, instant gremlins box etc. is a check box and "I want to preview my post and/or attach a file" Just check the box, hit continue and go for it. The browse button lets you go to the photo and then open it. Its magic.

Regards,

Jim

[briggs&strattonChev]

3bythekey---thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it

Briggs

[Fifty5C-Gas]

yes donzie, thats it, how the hell did ya do it?

[JimC]

Yeah! what 3bythe knee said.
Studedude, can you tell me what brand this was?

[Donzie]

This may help.
After you put in your text (and you must put in some text), click the "continue" button (make sure the "I want to preview..." is checked).....

[Donzie]

Now, click the browse button, attach the image from your hard drive (from a folder or on your desktop, wherever you have the imaged saved) and click "continue".
Tada, there it is.

[Fifty5C-Gas]

everytime i do that, it tells me either the picture is to big, or its not jpeg, gif etc...but it says jpeg at the end of my address.

Yep, and the car STILL IS! Believe that's the Aztec...built by Jim DeCarr in the Barris shop...it's a Chevy...'56 I believe...but it could be a '55 Chevy...can't remember. Now, I cannot tell you if it's a jpeg or a gif...

Was this a test...did I pass?

[praisethelowered]

Let me give it a try too while were at it

[praisethelowered]

wow- much better than the starblvd. way

[praisethelowered]

Still wondering how to make the image quality better. 3bytheknee's boyd truck photo is smaller than my project towing photo in bytes but his is larger and sharper looking on the screen. Is the difference in the image quality setting when you save down to jpg.?

I believe that is the case. It also depends on how high the resolution was when the photo was taken. A high res photo can be cut down or blown up a lot and still be clear. I copied that pop-top truck off the Net.

[praisethelowered]

bigger image size / lower image quality = smaller file size and better screen appearance. . .maybe?

[40StudeDude]

Strange...now I can't get the Starblvd thingie to work!!!

[Fifty5C-Gas]

the Aztec is a 55 chevy, but i still cant figure the pic thing out.
