I know there is info on this subject in the archives, but I have looked can't find it. Where can I go to get a place to store my pics, so I can attach them to my posts? I thought I saw a free pic storage place (I can't remember the correct term for this) that had a bunch of SeaCraft stuff on it.

Thanks

Blizzard,
I suggest using www.photobucket.com, which is a free service. This way you can store all of your digital pix in one place. They changed their guidelines recently so now you need to utilize the site at least once every 60 days or they will cancel your account. Just make sure you reduce the image size to at least 640x480 before you post a pic to this site or else it won't upload. If you want to add an avatar to your signature, that image can't be bigger than 140x90.

Thanks Scott, maybe I'll get a chance to try to set it up tomorrow.

Re: Posting Pics
 

Help! I saved the pic on Photobucket and then copied the URL in the message. What am I doing wrong?

Re: Posting Pics
 

Blizzard,
You need the [image] UBB code both before and after the URL.

Scott,

Thanks for helping me thru this.

Do I need the URL, the Tag and the Img?

What is the easiest way to transfer them to the message?

Re: Posting Pics
 

When you are creating a new message, just below the white box that you type in is a section called "Instant UBB Code". Choose the "Image" link and paste the photo's URL there. Hit OK and preview the message to make sure the pic shows up.

Blizzard Nice looking ride. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] If your using PhotoBucket they have done all the work for you. Look at your pix uploaded to PhotoBucket. Look under the pix, you will see 3 lines of writing. The one on the bottom is the one you want to copy and paste to a forum page. I always hit the [Enter] button twice after I have pasted a pix. This gives a nice space between the 1st and 2nd pix you want to show.

Thanks for your help, everyone.

Yes, it should be a nice ride. I have had the boat about 6 weeks and I have completed the first phase of my upgrade - new instrument panel, move switches to Blue Seas panel on top of console, new instruments, compass, steering wheel and radio, cleaning and painting of inside console, rope locker and exposed bilge areas, replacement of various hatch handles and hardware. The leaning post has been removed for reupolstering

I put the boat away for the winter on Sunday. In the spring a Navman fuel flow meter and a T Top will be added. Then, bottom paint and water lines, SeaCraft logo, wet sand and buff hull, repaint non skid areas. This should be a great boat.

I took it for a quick spin a few weeks ago to check the position of the waterline and got almost 50 MPH on the GPS.

Blizzard-

I think you may know my next door neighbor, Jim Porter?

Anyhow. Where did your new 23 come from, it looks very nice was it a RI boat?

Re: Posting Pics
 

Trayder,

Small world! Yes, Jim is afriend of mine. In fact, he and Joan were interested in buying my 20' CC, but decided to hold off buying a new boat.

My new boat came from Fla. Until 2 years ago it was owned by a fire dept in central Fla. that kept it inside and only used it in fresh water. A guy from Cedar Key purchased it, did the transom, bracket, new hydraulic steering, trim tabs and alum. trailer. I will have to clean up the deck where the fire dept filled in holes from equipment they removed.

This will be one year when I will be happy to see the end of ski season. I look forward to meeting you in the spring!

Yes, I remember him having interest in you boat I was exited at the possibility of another Seacraft on the street.

I too look forward to meeting you
