Hi Bear, I suspect this is a compatibility issue with Firefox and perhpas our resizing tool. Are you still having problems? Can you see in IE and Netscape but not in firefox?

This is with Firefox eh? I haven't tested the resize stuff with Firefox. As a workaround, I'll change the size of the resize so that fewer pics actually get resized. The main purpose of this tool is so when people post pics that are wider than the screen, (high resolution) all the formatting does not get screwed up. Let me know if it gets any better in the next little while. This may not solve it, but might make it a little more BEARable. (pun intended :lol: )

Bobber -

I noticed you have a bio / profile added to your signature. Very cool! I didn't notice instructions on how to do this in the how-to forum. Is this feature available to everyone?

Profiles are good stuff! :)

Hi SteveO,

The bio/profile thing is something new that I have not yet launched for the general population. It's coming soon though so stay tuned on what's required in order to have one.

What am I doing wrong?

Post by Superdad »

Bobber;

Joined the Gallery adn trying to use the image url's but the pics are being seen.

Here's an example.


We were changing lures with each trolling pass and finally the reel screamed and I was able to land a real nice 26 inch fish. The fish hit a 3/4 oz. Power Dive Minnow - one of my favourites.

Image

As we were marking all kinds of fish, the decision was made to stay put and work these fish. Several passes later the planer board acted rea funny and the reel clicked several clicks - not the reel screamer!!!!!! Laker John's turn at the reel and he landed a nice fish that will grace his table.

Image

We're not skunked again we said- we have been most fortunate to get fish almost every time we're out together.

We were getting these fish trolling down-wind and wondered if we would ever get one going into the wind, around 1615 the planer board went sideways and the reel clicked away. My turn to fight the fish and we netted another fine fish for the table.

Image

This is just everyother place for posting pictures, but the pics are being see.

Hey David,

You don't actually cut and paste the URL that you see up in the toolbar, that only shows "where" the picture is in the application.

What you are looking for is "where" the photo is located on the server, where it is uploaded to. You do this by finding the photo and then "right clicking" on it. This will pop up a menu and you will see at the bottom a selection called "Properties". Click on this and it will open a properties box where you will see "Address (URL)". Next to that you should see something like this.. ...

Code: Select all

http://www.fish-hawk.net/photogallery/albums/userpics/thumb_IMG_1884.JPG
Notice the .JPG extention, this is the "actual file" that you need to refer to in your post.

Highlight this text and then press and hold down the CTRL button, while pressing the INSERT button once. This will "copy" the highlighted text. Next go into your message and "paste" what you just copied by pressing and holding down the SHIFT button, while hitting the INSERT button again. This will paste what you copied before from the pic into your message.

For more information on how to post a picture, plesae visit this post.

Hey Pontiac, welcome to the site. If you want to post a new message, just click on the button that says "New Topic". Seems you already have "reply" down. :lol: Most of the conversation happens in the Fish-hawk fishing forum under Fishing Talk, but there are several others forums for various topics. Take a look around.

BTW, I moved your Sturgeon question into the Fishing Talk forum.

Hope that helps.
