New Moon and Jupiter

[doug]

     Tried to get this.  First attempt with the new camera .... hand held.

[doug]

    Huh !!!!  As usual, I did something wrong.  Can`t seem to highlight the location address... it won`t go into the img-img space.  Oh well, back to the drawing board.  At least I managed to find the "post image" button ............. at last.

    Doug ............ still trying after all these years.  (Apologies to Simon and Garfunkle)

Where did you upload your image to?

[Rick]

Doug, the link in your first message points to a file on your own machine, and may work for you but won't work for the rest of us.

[Mike]

You need to upload it to the gallery or some other image website (Picasa, Flickr, etc.) then copy the link location from there and put it inside the [ img ]   [ / img ]    code.

[Rick]

...as explained at great length in these two posts (both at the top of this section):

• How to submit images to the OAS Gallery
• How to post images in this forum

[doug]

     Thanks for all your help, chaps.  I tried to upload the image onto the Forum from a photo I have in Picasa, but I cannot find the link on the picture to send it to the forum.  I tried and failed. 

     When I have a little more time, I will have another go ...............

     The Mangler.

[Mike]

Follow those instructions Rick posted up. It is all in there.

[doug]

     Having another go at this ..............

[doug]

     ..................... and still nothing happened !!!!!!!!!!!

Where have you uploaded your image to?

[mickw]

Doug I think you are missing the last part of the link

This is what you posted but there is no actual file name -
http://my%20pictures/Sony%20A380%20first%20pics/??????????

If you go to the image (at the place you uploaded it to) then right click on the picture (the actual picture not a "thumbnail") then click "properties" - you will see a box with that http: stuff in it - frequently there is a lot more text in there that won't fit in the small box so -
Click at the start of the text (like you already did), then drag the cursor down and to the right, this should highlight all of the text including the stuff you couldn't see before.
Then just right click  then copy - the rest is what you did before.

Here's an example of copying the Visible Text
http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VTfcx7bG__M/ShwmXFw-FbI/AAAAAAAAASw/PyGYzUvUl7M/s720/DSC%20%
And this includes the text that was outside the box
http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VTfcx7bG__M/ShwmXFw-FbI/AAAAAAAAASw/PyGYzUvUl7M/s720/DSC%20%286%29.JPG

The first results in this (as you've found out)


The second (with the extra text) results in this

[Mike]

Mick I see both images.

2 x Jims ?
That's odd the first link is incomplete
