The dreaded red X

I don't klnow whats my problem, When I first join the fine scale forum I could get image on easlier but took time, now its all busted, I have so many pictures of my model and progress but My computeur won't let me download them to photobucket. Its not the camera, but maybe I have a low internet service, so the photos can't get downloader to my photo bucket account. Any idea what's the problem?

Followed the instructions in the other threads, but can't seem to get a pic to post from Webshots...what am I missing?  It just posts up a red x.  D'oh!    Chris

When you post your picture address it should look like this without spaces:

[ i m g ] h t t p : / / w w w . yourhostingsite . com / yourloginname / filename . jpg [ / i m g ]

You can get the address by right clicking on the picture and choosing "Properties." In the middle of the next box, you'll see Address (URL): then the code for the picture starting with h t t p and ending in j p g. Tripple click on this to highlight it and righ click onthe highlighted text.

Right click and choose "Copy." You can now go back to your post and click on the icon to the left of the smiley face. Highlight the h t t p : / / and right click and Paste. Click on the Insert box and that's it.

If there are spaces, extra IMG or http codes, you'll get the X.

A 'mod' is a term used for a board/forum moderator.

i just finished Atlantis Found on sat morning. definately one jof the better ones. as for the NUMA project, GO FOR IT!!! it shouln't be too hard to find the correct ship or jet, then all it would need would be the paint scheme. Um, pardon my ignorance, but what ia a mod?

    Yeah, I read all his stuff up til about Dragon I think, but it's been a while since I've read any.  I was blown away the other day to find out there actually IS a www.numa.net, started by Cussler himself.  I'm gonna try and build a Numa model as one of my projects one of these days.

 

    As for screen names, I think you have to have a mod change it.

hey dirkpitt77, where's al? im a big fan of cussler too. my sister has read all of his books. actually, i was thinking of changing my fsm name to fanofcussler. my name-change is really a toss-up between fanofcussler and Red Dog 5. do you know how to change screennames, or even delete an account? 

Win XP Pro, IE v7.0.   

   Maybe I'll have to settle for linking. I could do Photobucket, but just PIA to have another photo host.  Plus it's blocked at work anyway.   Hmm.

Need more info. There was another poster who could only link pics and not post. I've signed up and can post pics no problem. What browser and operating system are you using?

Photobucket and Imageshack have no problems here, you might try those, they're free too!
