Mike_Greenwood Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 1. "RE: image posting problem" 11-28-01, 19:39z  Hi Vic, I'm not sure, but the image may need to be on a site accessible to the VPC server. In addition, use instead of <> for any html code. --Greenie **6 miles SSE KSJC** Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

In addition, use instead >of <> for any html code. What Mike said. His last bit was missing the (brackets) instead of <> for html code. Ben Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I did type them, but I forgot how the page would interpret it (as nothing obviously <g>). --Greenie **6 miles SSE KSJC** Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

vgbaron Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 4. "RE: image posting problem" 11-28-01, 22:33z  I figured out the part about the brackets but I still don't know how to include a .gif in a post . Are you saying that all images must reside on the server? Since the image is on my local drive and your server wouldn't have access to same, is there a way to include screenshots or other images in a post Thanx, Vic Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Then use it as just a file repository, and link to the GIF from there. Here's a good place to start http://geocities.yahoo.com/home --Greenie **6 miles SSE KSJC** Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Ben Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 7. "RE: image posting problem" 11-29-01, 03:13z  Hi Vic: Mike's suggestion is the cheapest option (very hard to beat free). Since we pay for bandwidth, and harddrives cost $, we can't offer file space for everyone or even crew only with the price that we're charging. However, if there's interest in such a service, we could come up with a higher level of VPC membership that would offer some storage space on one of our servers. Just thinking out loud.

vgbaron Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 8. "RE: image posting problem" 11-29-01, 16:58z  Ben - Yeah, I guess that would work but it seems a bit of a hassle just to be able to upload a picture in a message. What started this is a cartoon that I saw that I wanted to share - including it in a message seemed the easiest, but setting up a website to link the picture....... Another thought also, the ability to display screenshots in a message will help those who need advice on setting up FS2k2. I realize all this takes bandwidth but it's something you might look into. Avsim allows images in a message and Flightsim has a separate forum for images. Of course there are a few individuals who abuse the priviledge.
