WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to hear all about it! Any teasers??? Like -- what was your favorite thing about Tulum????

p.

[Tracee]

by far the beach.

How do I insert pictures? Can someone PM me the instructions? Thanks

[pepper]

!Yay!!
Can't wait to hear all about it!!

[beachreader]

Yay! Welcome home! (Or boo, you're home, as I'm sure you'd say). Can't wait to see your report and all your pics!

I'm sure there are a lot of threads dedicated to posting pics, and they sound confusing, but once you get your first one done it's not bad at all.

You need to have them all uploaded onto a photo-sharing site, can't just do it from your hard drive. That's the first thing.

Get to the place where you're looking at your picture and it's a reasonable size to post here (I think there are different ways of resizing on different sites; I use Shutterfly and the ones I look at are the right size so I haven't had to do it).

While you're looking at the picture, right-click on it and choose "properties". Highlight the address of the picture (should start with http) and come here.

Go to the place you want to insert it here and click on the little picture of a mountain (or it looks like a postage stamp, which I first thought it was). In the address line that pops up, delete their "http" and paste your whole address there. Hit enter (or apply, whatever it is) and your pic should pop into your post.

Sorry if that's more confusing than it needs to be, but it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

[Tracee]

hey br...
Thanks for the info. Phyllis also sent me a link to some older threads with how to do it. Hoping to get to it in the next couple days.

[beachreader]

Aw, c'mon, Tracee. How 'bout just one to whet our appetites? Pleeeeeze? :)


{I'm such a picturehoor}

Ya gotta give us more than that! Best restaurant? Best drink? How was the hotel? :rolleyes:

[FITZ]

Welcome back! Looking forward to reading about your trip!

[PhyllisB]

I was able to get a little more info out of her after I PM'ed her the link for photo posting... she basically has the same view of Parayso that pepper had. Thought it had a lot of potential but the owner needs to find better caretakers...


But I agree, we need a photo teaser!!!!!!

And Tracee, there's a link (maybe still on the front page) about a Chicago get together -- no date set yet, but check your calendar and chime in! Would love to meet you!

[Tracee]

Ok...you guys are killing me!! :D

Still getting the little x when I try to insert an image. Sorry.

Best restaurant - by far, without question, 100% Dos Ciebas. AMAZING DINNER!!!

Drink - anything Mango. So fresh!! Yummy.

Hotel I'll get into in my report. Much to advise on that one...some good, some bad.

Got a PM from WC on the Chicago meeting. Trying to adjust my schedule to be there. Not sure yet.

[PhyllisB]

Hmmmm, well, the date's pretty flexible isn't it? So if it's too hard to adjust the schedule, maybe we can adjust to you!

[beachreader]

Still getting the little x when I try to insert an image. Sorry.


What online site are you using to store your pics? Maybe one of us uses it and can help from there.

And I'm glad Dos Ceibas' food is still good. I might have to go back there this trip. I loved having dinner there 18 months ago. Did they have the bonfire in the pit? I met some fun people hanging around that fire.

[BP.]

Welcome back, no pressure, but would love your thoughts. Love breakfast at Dos Ceibas, never had dinner there, but it's on the list now. So cute there!

[Tracee]

I use Snapfish for my online photos. Anyone have any experience with them?

[mayaflya]

Snapfish and Kodakgallery didn't work for me...I've had good luck with Flickr for posting on this forum.

[Tracee]

ok....how's this for a teaser???

ok....i don't get it. Why doesn't the picture show?

[mayaflya]

You need to edit the spaces out between [img] and http:....don't ask me how I know.

[mayaflya]

and also before the last [img]!

[PhyllisB]

The link works though.... excellent!!!!!

[Tracee]

ok...I took out the [img] and it still doesn't work.

[mayaflya]

Testing...



OK Tracee, take out the stuff after the .jpg (?v=0) and it'll post like this:

Plus, if you're hosting with a company based south of the equator, you'll need to make another adjustment...

[beachreader]

That is odd. I did my usual routine with that photo and it showed up in my post just fine. When I hit "Submit Reply", it changed to the link.

Now I'm trying it Mayaflya's way:

And hey, it works!

Perfect size, too. No breaking the formatting of the board.

[Tracee]

ok...here's my second attempt....

WHOO HOO...OK...LET ME GET STARTED THEN!!!

[beachreader]

Whoo hoo! Can't wait!!!:D:D:D

[FITZ]

I'm starting to get veryyy excited! I could just melt in that water right now. 4 more weeks for us and I can melt my brains out!
Beautiful pics! People on this forum are so good looking!
