Double Soft Shackle Update

[Brion Toss]

How did you manage to insert pictures into the thread? We get a lot of questions from people about this..

Allene has his own website, but for those who don't, here's what worked for me in a recent post (http://www.briontoss.com/spartalk/showthread.php?t=2181)

1: Take your picture and copy it to your computer.

2: Upload the picture to a picture hosting website. I use Photobucket.com, which is easy to use and free. Once you have registered, you can tell it to upload any picture on your hard drive.

3: Copy the IMG code of the picture. That's the URL of the image preceded by [IMG] and followed by [/IMG]. In Photobucket that's as simple as mousing over the picture and single-clicking on the box marked "IMG code".

4: Paste the IMG code into your post. When you preview it, it should show as an image.
(Note that the picture will show in your post only as long as you leave it on the picture hosting website.)

Thus:

I click on the "Insert Image" button and enter the URL of the picture.


The image is not uploaded to your site so will go away in the thread if it is removed from the site you enter.

PS. Is this what they call having a thread hijacked? :-)

PPS. As Techocholer states, I do have a web site for the boating community. It includes articles, reference material, and a very popular sailing weather site. www.L-36.com. check it out!

It's a classic case, as I realized after posting. Sorry.

Not a problem. Your explanation was excellent and will probably help a lot of people.

Hi again,
Actually, I think, in my Techanderthal helplessness, I'm the one that invited the hijack. Thanks for the help!
Fair leads,

All in good fun. I just could not resist. Do you want me to send you one of the double shackles so you can take a look? Happy to do it.
