How did you get that nice picture in your posting? Or how do people get those nice graphics into their messages? Your posting actually made a nice statement (perhaps Slave could appreciate the humor). Any and all technical assistance would be greatly appreciated.......
"Drive by posting..." ROFL Elim.

I was too lazy to write out directions -- I'm a terrible technical writer in any case -- so I lifted the following from the only intelligent post ever made by our long-lost drive-by poster, Kiwi:



FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO POST THEIR PICTURES ON THIS WEBSITE.

I will try to give the easiest instructions possible. It took me a total of 5 minutes from start to finish...

#1 - You need a website to upload the pictures from your computer to the Internet. Go to http://photobucket.com and register. Everything is free, free, free!

#2 - Once you register (takes 2 minutes). Then you hit the 'browse' button on the screen and find the pictures on your computer that you want to upload. One at a time you upload them. Each time you find the picture you want to upload to the Internet, lust click SUBMIT

#3 - Lastly once all your pictures are uploaded to Photobucket. All thats left is to add then to the addictions website here. All you do here, is type your message as normal...HERE IS THE TRICK PART, AND ITS THE LAST THING YOU NEED TO DO..

**Go BACK to the photobucket website. Go to your album where it lists all your pictures. Under each picture you will see THREE things (URL, TAG, IMG) and beside each of them is a long address,link, bunch of words :) All you do is COPY ALL the WORDS in the [IMG] area. Just highlight all the words, copy them and then simply paste them to your message on this site. Thats it!!

SO everything is fairly straightforward, the only thing I found trick was the last step of seeing the pictures on this website...Like I said, just copy everyhing in the [IMG] area and simply paste it all here. When you are done, just click POST and the pictures will automatically load!

Good Luck!


As for the pictures themselves, I just google images. In this case, when I read your post about the Titanic, I googled "Titanic movie" and saved the picture to my computer.

Gosh, I miss Kiwi. The board was never divided when he was in town. LOL

Cheers,
Gina

But Gina, do you put all of those cool photos in you photobucket? Or do you google?
If so, how do you get them from google to photobucket to here? I am lost.

I know you are good, but you can't possibly have every photo in your photobucket album. That would completely blow my theory of spontinaity. ( I know I misspelled that one!)
Morning Kerry,

Spontaneity. LOL, something I lack at six in the morning.

OK, I don't use photobucket, I use imageshack.com and upload the images one at a time as I find them. I google the image, save it to the Pictures folder in my computer. Then I go to the imageshack page and hit the browse button which opens my Pictures folder in a separate window. I select the photo I want and then hit "Host It!" on the imageshack page.

Imageshack then offers several lines of computerese. I highlight and copy the entire line of the option, "Direct Link to Image."

Then I come here and in the "POST REPLY" window hit the "image" button and paste the line of computerese to the little window that pops up. Hit return, post, voila. Mayhem, LOL.

It took longer for me to type that than it does to find, download, upload and post the image. I hope that made sense. I'm bad at giving directions; I routinely misdirect people when they're trying to find my house, but Dr. M says that's a parapraxis. Maybe I don't really want company, but what do I know?

How'd you do on your test? YGM

Love,
Gina
LOl Gina cool pics

Anyways I wanted to give thought before I posted to this.Please keep in mind these are my feelings are neither right nor wrong,just my feelings

I feel that on this board dealing with the issue that we are emotions can & do run so very high.Certain people believing one thing,others believeing another
One way IMO is not better than another its whatever works.
The Click part comes in when(I feel)certain groups(& again this in NOT directed at anyone)feel their way is THE way,than another group feels their WAY is better & it sometimes seems as if battle lines are drawn,
IMO I feel we all have a common bond & I feel all of us want to help out others however we may be able to.
Emotions run high & it seems as if there are Clicks.Maybe there are maybe there isnt.I feel that as long as there is respect & that common bond to try to help others than we are all as one

I think I understand what you're saying, Molly, and I've never understood drawing those battle lines either.

Among my intimate circle of friends, there are those of us who use therapy, and others who go to meetings, some who go to church, and some who use some combination of the three. As well as some who use none of the above. It doesn't really matter. We respect and love each other and we're all in real recovery no matter what path we took to get there. We don't agree about many things, but there is real mutuality and trust. We have never let each other down. That's really all that matters. I'm grateful to each and every one of them for gifting my life with their love.

Gina I totally agree though I know Im not perfect & Ive said things on here that I am not proud of,but I ALWAYS felt & will always feel...its OK NOT to agree.But we can & should ALWAYS disagree in a respectful manner.Besides debates can & are a healthy thing.I feel people can learn so much by doing that.
I will admit there are times when I post that I worry the way I mean what Im saying will not be taken the way I intented.Thats the trouble with the net.You cant see people soo our words can be inturpitated as people will
