    it could be just your browser....... you don't have to stay online for it to be showing up in the forums!

    I missed that part of it. I should have looked closer. However we do it differently. Since AD supplies the tags, I insert the [b]Direct[/b] link. It's been working since I started AD.

    Looking good. As IHoe mentioned the images exist where you store them. The AD board programming and your browser pick them up where they're stored. The forum doesn't store the images. If no one is looking, it's still at imageshack. Deleting the source at Imageshack means it doesn't show anywhere (there has to be a stored image). Just some of the magic of computers. Some sites don't like people borrowing their bandwidth, but as IHoe said ImageShack is free for the purpose, so use it as much as you please, most people do.

    Thanks Ihoe and Pacman777. That's why I like this site so much. When
    there isn't a book available, the guides are such a huge help.

    LOL Were you the one who blew up the experiment in my Organic class? Just kidding, there appears to be a bad "cook" in every class. Glad I was wearing the goggles and lab coat. Flying glass still got me on the neck (nothing serious, a pair of tweezers and a helpful lab partner were all I needed).

    @FredBun.......if you want to use a pix in your signature then there are the forum rules to live by...... and if you need to reduce the size of your picture then you need to use an image editing software program to change the size. There are many programs out there.... I have 3. Mostly I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 and Adobe Photoshop CS3. In those programs you open your photo .... then hit IMAGE/RESIZE/IMAGE SIZE and there you can set your dimensions. I hope this helps.

    Fred IHOE gave great advice but if you don't have the progie he mentions then the following link has some great stuff to try and it's FREE. :)

    link to faststone products

    The photo resizer progie is great and very easy to use. Give it a try and see what you can do. :) If you need any help just post here or PM me for anything buddy. :D

    Pay attention to the options and you can resize the pics when you load them on imageshack. No extra software needed.

    I finally loaded a pic, I pm'd myself, I used imageshack, I was so damn happy I wanted to go outside and set off fireworks.

    Before I go on, I want to greatly thank Pacman, Greensman for pm'ing me in the past with advise on this subject, and also Ihoe's layout, I re-read pacmans, greensman advise together with Ihoe's, studied all carfully and finnaly got it, I know this is not a big thing to most, but to me it was, for so long I could not figure it out. I am beside myself with happyness lol.

    I still have a question that puzzles me, ok, because I was still not sure about the limit size is of course why I pm'd myself instead of posting a pic on a thread so not to anger anybody, the pic I sent was 640x480, with shack I went and used it smallest setting, a thumbnail 130x113, but the byte still said 15940 bytes, now correct me if I'm wrong, I think the rules state a limit of 500x200 and nothing over 50b, and thats were I'm still confused, I went with the smallest setting with shack but cant figure out how to limit myself with 50b.

    Either I'm misunderstanding something or just not doing something right, also the limit of 500x200 it looks to me like a goofy setting, nothing shack has that comes close to that, e.g. shack has a setting for 320x240, but the 240 is over AD's limit is it not, plus the byte would be way over, so this is where I'm still confused, I would love to post a pic on a thread one time, but don't want to screw-up and get jumped on, so yes I would appreciate some further help, and again, thanks to everybody.

    Fred,
    I'm just glad to be a part of someone's happiness. Glad you finally got an image "added" to a post. WELL let's see something buddy. We've all been waiting for months and you only post something with words. ;)

    ....gm

    Good luck with the images!! :D
