Yea that pic i did from photo bucket but previously stated before that doesnt work anymore

on all other sites all i do is click browse and then d/l the picture from my computer and that's it

Yeah, when we finally get the new site up and running (IT says soon) you'll be able to upload again and we'll take care of re-sizing and stuff like that.  Right now you have to use photobucket or another site like that.

Strange,
I posted the Tractor pic from my photo bucket site today.

I own a 2003 215 Explorer and love it!!!  Great platform to fish from or a family cruise for the day.  I have a 175 Johnson 2 stroke.  Loves gas and oil but very dependable.  I just put smart tabs and a dual battery system on it last year.  Can't wait for summer to start.

Trim tabs are key on this boat i ran the boat (the first year i got it) with out them and it was terrible, put tabs on it 2 years ago makes a world of difference. I am happy with my boat for the size haven't found another walk around with the space in the cockpit and v berth that my boat has. I have a 150 guy who ordered it skimped out its a little under powered tops out at about 37 mph still not to bad.  


yea being able to upload pics from your computer would really help i have a lot of info / questions id liek to share but cant because posting pics is such a pain hope that gets figured out soon, other then that GREAT site!!!

You know there is actually advantages to using PhotoBucket to host your pics - you can post an IMG codes anywhere once they're up there instead of uploading your pics everywhere.
It's not that hard - give it a try.

i just tied uploading a pic from photobucket and it keeps telling me the image is to big i re sized it to the smallest size (which is to small to even show what i want to show) and it still says file is to big. Im not in anyway trying to bash this site because as i stated its a great site i just wish i wasn't having so many problems with the pics!

ok got that to work but thats the size its telling me it has to be in order to post,

[Capt. Bob]

Milky,
Send me the link to a pic you have on PB that you have not reduced.

This pic is 640 x 480 pixel size, the current (I believe) maximum posting size.



I forget who this is but at least it's a WAC.

FIGURES LOL did you have to resize it?  ..... Tell em this i was trying to put that picture in my7 signature liek i have the other one and it keeps telling me its to big i am i doing something wrong there as well?

thanks for the hardtop comment it was a huge deciding factor when i bought the boat i cant live with out it nor would i buy another boat with out one.

Nice job CB  
Miky - you've maxed out the size on your Sig image.  Nice looking boat BTW.

Everyone is proud of their boat and wants to paste images of it everywhere - the idea is to keep the images small to avoid having to scroll a lot while reading the posts.  Browse places like THT and you have to scroll over a foot just to read two posts.  Believe it or not, some people are still using screen resolutions of 800x600 and with the added framework of the forum software they might have to scroll right and left with 640x480 images.
