Questions about BTS photo center

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Beyond the Sidewalks : One Thread

Hubby tried to post some wedding pics and such on the photo center, but they never showed up. He followed all the instructions as far as I could see. Does Jim or Joy have to do something before they show up? Sorry about being so computer illiterate, but this is how we learn isn't it? Also, we forgot to put our names on them in case they are out there somewhere. DUH! Should we just try to post them again?

Um, I'm not sure, Debra. I'll look into it. I probably have the access (if not the expertise), but I always let Jim or Cindy do it before. Now I'll have to learn, I guess.

I'll post again when I know the answers!

Okay, Debra's pics are in the photo album #5, here's the link

Thanks for posting them, Debra -- they look great. As I said in my email, let me know if you want me to put titles on them.

I will try to keep on top of these things better and check the various files to see what's popped up in them!

Could someone please email me and help walk me through how I could post a picture or two here? I have scanned and saved some photos, but I am really not well-versed on how to upload them... thanks!

I found some cute lamb pics and thought I could try them out before I (shudder!!!) post anything else....

debra, yours were wonderful!

Sheepish, I'm not too good at this photo thing. I had no trouble uploading my picture, but I do remember that someone sent pictures that were too large, and they had to be resized. I sure don't know how to do that!

Do you have any way to tell you the size of the pictures? What format are they in? There should be some letters at the end of the file, like .jpg, .gif, .bmp

Anybody who know anything about picture sizes feel free to jump in.

Once we're sure they're not too huge, you just go to: http://www20.brinkster.com/yggdrasill/, click on Photo Center, then upload, and follow the instructions. Or if you know how to make them into attachments, you could email them to me and I'll see if I can upload them.

Thanks You Joy for your help! I just had to post those pics and let everyone see what a handsome hubby I got. By the way Joe and I met online 4 years ago and got married 4 years later to the day. So if anyone is looking for a sweetie I highly recommend going online. It worked for us!

Ah, but WHERE on line? Where is the lucky site? ;-)

Americansingles.com was the site I found Joe on. Lovecity.com was also a good one. I guess we should send American singles an e-mail and wedding photo. Good luck to anyone who tries this.

Some words of advice. Chat with a prospective date numerous times before you decide to meet them. If at any time something doesn't seem right, stop writing them immediately. Never ever give them your last name, your address, or phone number until you have met them and feel they are trustworthy. When you do decide to meet them make sure it is at a location of YOUR choice that you are comfortable with. Use common sense just like you would if you met someone in the grocery store etc.

Enjoy! I had a date every Fri. night for some time.

I went to look at the wedding pics and the link didn't work :( I thought about looking in the archives for a link but I don't think we have one! Do we? Would someone post it again? Thanks!

Oh, never mind! I bookmarked it and don't remember ever doing it!

Great pics! What a handsome couple :) Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations Debra! You two make a lovely couple. :)

I met Keith online, but it wasn't through a singles site. We both were posting to the same Science Fiction discussion board on AOL and then discovered that we lived in the same city. We exchanged several emails and met in public places the first few times before we finally started dating. We've been together for almost 5 years now.

You're right Denise, the link doesn't work. It did last night when I was signed in to work on the album.

I can't find the threads where Jim posted links for pictures before. Anyone know where they are? I want to look at what he used. Or, Denise, either post or email me the link so I can see what it is. I've just either used Jim's links when they were easily accessible, or gone to the main BTS site and gone in from there. But the only link I can make that way is to the main site, not directly to the pictures. There must be a way to do it!

Thank you Sherri. I've bookmarked the photo album now for future reference and fixed the link -- I think. Let me know if it doesn't work for anyone.

Joy, I'm finally getting some time to spend reading these posts. I think I will attempt to figure out exactly what I am doing re: downloading these pictures (over the weekend), and then I'll let you all know what I did. Hopefully we can figure out how to upload them. Thanks for your help.
