I chose 'Transportation' in the above poll because, well . . .

Look at Orleans County and you'll know why.

I would recommend reading the MD Section Rules, especially Part III - Author Rules.

How do i upload pictures

[kj3400]

That's easy...simply click on the portrait button (between the sphere shaped button and the earth looking button) and insert the link of your pic in between the "[I M G][/I M G]" that shows up. Of course, only pics uploaded to an image site, like photobucket or imageshack will work. I hope I could help.

Hmm I can't see the picture...

You cannot simply put the name of a picture that is on your computer. You must first go to a site such as www.imageshack.us or photobucket.com and upload that picture on your computer. It will then give you a bunch of links. You want the direct link, which you post between the

ashton23, Hi -- maybe I can help with the image issue. Below is what you have entered for your image.

You will need to enter the exact URL of the image you're wishing to post. You can use one of many free image hosting sites. I choose Photobucket, but there are others you can pick from. So, once I've uploaded the image from my computer to Photobucket, I can then copy the URL for that image and paste it in between the

[img][/img] tags, like so:

The result is the banner you see below in my signature.

One of the nice things about Photobucket (I can't speak for any of the other image hosting sites) is that in the thumbnail view for the image, I can hover over it and a menu pops up with the exact code I just showed you; I click on it and copy it from there and paste it here. Saves a step in that I don't have to click the image button first.

I hope this help you.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I believe the maximum width allowed is 1024 pixels; however, I do mine at 800 pixels wide, since 1024 goes right to the edge of the screen for me (and I'm at 1280x1024 here, 1280x800 at home) and I'm always concerned that something is getting cut off.
