How do I? (FAQ Stuff)

I would like to know how can I place a picture in this window?
I have some pictures in my pc and I would really like to share them. But unfortunately, when I subscribed I didn't get the manual...

Thanks

Rastapaul,
In order to post a photo, the photo has to be stored on the internet somewhere. Just having it on your PC won't cut it. There are lots of photo-hosting sites available. Many are free and allowing linking. (You get what you pay for....free sites may or may not host forever, etc.) The first step is to get your photos hosted somewhere, then it's a matter of linking to them within the post. To do that, you use the little "photo-like" button up in the message tool bar (second from the right).

The photos should be re-sized properly, before linking, otherwise they generally appear ENORMOUS, take a lot of time to open even with a high-speed connection, and generally screw up a thread.

Hey Man thanks. I was hoping I didn't actually need hosting. I guess I will have to go through all that trouble, but hey! Its worth it. Wait till you see these picutres!!!

I don't think I can but thought I'd ask anyway- Can I change my display name? The space in it is really annoying because it creates a "+" in my blog address which will make it harder to remember for people. :/

I should've thought harder when creating it. Ah well. Thank god for mass emails and the Crtl-C command.

Rastapaul, you can always set up your own travelblog with your BnA membership and upload photos to that. You can also sign up for something like Flickr which is a great photo hosting and sharing service. They have a free version which allows a certain amount of uploads per month.

haley k, we'll look into how to change the blog URL for you. It may be simple, it may be a pain in the butt.

I can't find a way either, mate. Will keep hunting, but we might be out of luck on this one.

sorry just trying to see if the picture business worked out.

cheers

What would you like it to be, mate? I can change it for you.

so...as I read/hear y'all correct, the "posts" earn "points" and the accrued/accumulated "points" determine our karma level...

Correct. However, we're not big fans of people who post just to get points - doesn't really get you far

i cannot get rid of my old avatar . i would like to change it . perhaps i do not have enough space to upload another one , and i would like to know how can i delete the old avatar . i've tried to specify the url of a new avatar but it doesn't work.
