My first motorboat - Fjord 880

[BobMod]

Hi All

As requested I have finally taken pictures of the boat... Just the one so far...

Bob..

 

[Chris_d]

Can we see it then

 

[BobMod]

Chris

It is attached and I can see it but the moderator must be having a late friday lie in.. Don't blame him/her coz I would if I could...

The picture below is of a dog chasing a rabbit. The rabbit has just gone out of shot, the dog has not yet come into shot. The field is covered in an even layer of slightly off colour snow

may help

Awesome Andrew.. You sign it and I will find some idiot to buy it... Ti

 

[Tom Price]

Take no notice!

Andrew, that blank page is unkind!

Am still hurting about the hiccup on my first thread (River Arun to Arundel) when, after posting, the pics then disappeared as I emptied Photobucket for the sequel. Doh!

So could one of you IT whizzkids offer OP some constructive advice please???

Tom

Went through that myself as I am not a fan of photbucket and other online photo stores et al...

So.. Upload your phots to this forums album sections.. Very helpfully below is the HTTP address for that picture when you open it in the album..

HTH..

Tim

Here ya go...

Now I am not sure if the moderator needs to approve the pic before you can see it but at the bottom it shows the http address you need to attach a pic on the forum..

Well, I'm feeling somewhat bereft here ....all these references to photos and not one to be seen

I am invariably carp at sticking up pix as well, can never get the albums to work and links to picasa dont bring the photo, just an url!

 

[Tom Price]

I daren't suggest . . .

. . . how to suck eggs BUT I first downloaded a group of pics onto Photobucket, remembering to save and return to album each time.

Then start a file inWord
Write text then save and minmise
Back to PB, select pic, click on it to obtain code (says saved)
Resurrect text, right click in a space and paste
Repeat until run out of ideas/Scotch/patience

Yes, it's b . . . . tedious, and what appears on the forum still has a mind of its own!
That was one of several options offered by a helpful forumite.
Any use?
More important, can you advise anything quicker?

 

[BobMod]

Are my pictures showing yet?

 

[Tom Price]

You needn't ask

because when you post you have the option to Preview.
This shows what is about to appear - all the coded bits
become pictures.
So you never have to ask your waiting public at all,

OR you go back to YBW forums and try and find it.

 

[BobMod]

Tom my friend... I can see the picture in preview and on the forum.. BUT others are advising me that they cannot... My pondered question earlier was whether the moderator had to accept the picture in my album first so everyone else could see it but strangely my other pictures...

Have worked.. Anyway.. below is me trying with the original picture again...

Any luck?

 

[IAIA3259]

still cant see pics but I know it looks good in real life

 

[BobMod]

Cheers mate!!! I have just seen a Fjord 930AC for sale at £38k and it is the same shape, 5 years younger, engines are the 31's and she has a small moulded bowsprit, bathing platform and eberspacher heating but otherwise exactly the same..

I am feeling particularly good

Dunno what is going on with pics because on another thread peeps can see the sunlight through the hull picture..

Have you seen and read the new thread I put here a little while ago Using pictures in posts?

Which thread can people see your pics on?

 

[Tom Price]

I should run away . . .

for it's ridulous for me to comment on this!
BUT my mistake the other day was not saving them so that the link would work.

I shouldn't worry about the Moderator, considering the number of boobs and bums emanating from Windemere unchecked.

A photo of a big boat

A photo of a cute boat

two mouse clicks and Photobucket

 

[BobMod]

Feel like I am repeating myself.. Pics are in the album on this forum and when I preview and post I see them so nothing wrong there.. On another thread they can see one of the pics...
