Well when I put in the correct IMG's it thought I was posting a picture.

Spankybird,
THE ADS, THE ADS.......that's the difference between the OGR forum and this forum and I have this funny feeling that the ads and/or ad blocking software is stopping the photos from HP from being posted. Can you see animation below or just an ugly looking brown mouse doing nothing:

What pecan tree did you two fall out of? NUTS just plain two NUTS. [:D] Spankybird, I posted no picture. I was illistrating the IMG thing and it thought I was posting picture.

This is a test using Shutterfly as the image host. I'm curious to see if the image expands when you click it like it does from PhotoIsland. Seems to work pretty much the same as PhotoIsland, except there is no "link for auction" utility. Moot point for me...





The top image is from Shuttefly and the bottom one is from PhotoIsland. Clicking them seems to slightly enlarge both. You guys spend a lot of time working on the little details in your layouts and a lot of it is missed in the smaller images...wi***hey could be displayed up to 640 x 480, providing the file size is reasonable.

Jim (wish I could make it bigger) Duda

Hi Jim,

Yes they do get larger when click on. The top one is larger than the bottom one. Did you post them at different sizes??

By the way, nice engine.

Nope...both are originally 640 x 480...so it seems Shutterfly expands into a larger picture. That's enough to have me seriously considering using it from now on...

Jim "Tex" Duda, told you so. [:D] Now I think you said SIZE makes a difference. [:P] Think if you try Viagra, it will stay there longer? [^] Pictures that is.

Viagra only enlarges certain areas of the images...then when I tell friends to "Quick come and see how big it is!" it shrinks back to the small size and they can't see it...(sigh) But I do like the Shutterfly host...!

I have been checking out Shutterfly. The Chief's comments may be well worth noting. One of the computer jocky magazines rated them highly as a place to post photos.

Buckeye, you know you always trust a fisherman. They never LIE. Hey Jim [Tex] Duda, I was looking at the picture of those figures you posted on the "1" page and I think I saw General Lee standing there. You REBEL, you.[:D] [no wonder he moved to Texas]

No, it's not General Lee...it's the head of the North Carolina Department of Fisheries admiring all the trophy northerns in Lake Envirotex! Click the picture and look closely just past the guy standing up in the boat...probably a 25 pounder at least!

Would love to take the train. Funny, costs as much as flying and takes longer. Sometimes you can drive faster thant he train gets you around. Our railroads are their worse enemy. Enjoy the day and all of you ahve a good weekend.

Buckeye....I notice the elevation in your specs. as 936 and just by coincidence I believe our elevation here at the Muncie, [In] airport is almost the same at 937. We're about 7 miles across the city and down stream from it so we're probably a bit lower. I normally post on TRAINS mag. forums an moved over here to see about "how to post from HP's photo pages"...So just visiting.

Getting back to the subject of this post: HP photo will not work with the CTT forum. WE had many experts try their hand and fail. Solution is to go to photoisland.com and sign up. Takes but a few minutes and those photos WILL post. here.

Finally, somebody notices. [:0] If you look at many of the old railroad station signs one will find an elevation beneath the name of the station.
