PART I - UPLOADING A PHOTO Introduction Adding a photo to your forum post is really quite easy. First, some basic facts.

Photos are saved from your digital camera to a folder somewhere on your computer, so you need to be familiar with where they are stored. Photos are technically referred to as image files. Each image file has a unique name followed by a default image extension. For example, an image file from your camera might be labeled: HP0123.jpg The first part, "HP0123" is the file name, and ".jpg" is the extension. The extension represents a recognized image fil…

IPS FORUM LOGO FOR IPS MEMBERS
by PALM MOD- 11 replies
- 10.2k views
There has been a lot of requests recently asking how to get the IPS logo under your name when you post. First, of course, is you need to be an IPS member. Second, you need to let me know you are a member, and that you wish to have the logo displayed when you post. So if you PM me and give me some indication of your member status, I will check it out and make the neccesary changes. If you have just joined, let me know when, and if you can give me a copy of any confirmation you have received, I can initiate the changes more quickly. If you wish to join, click on the link at the very top of the page to the IPS Home Page.

How does one progress in the forum? Is it knowledge based or post based? Does status increase with responses, pictures, or posts? Is it activity based? Whatever it is, it is truly a blast and I love every minute on palm talk. It is informative and entrancing as well as entertaining. Take care every one and happy gardening. Daniel

Multi quote
by yachtingone- 13 replies
- 3.4k views
Is it just me or am I observing a multi quote being used alot when not needed!!! I have seen threads take for ever to load because of posters using it with big pic downloads! Why use multi quote when it does NOT help us understand your post? There are only a handful of members using it in a way that is rediculess! Most members use it only to enhance the understanding of thier post. Am I the only one that feels this way? Randy Paul I need that dictionary!

trouble posting pictures
by NorCalWill- 8 replies
- 4.3k views
I posted a bunch of pictures a few weeks ago without any trouble, and now I am using the exact same technique (browsing my files and attaching them) and it doesn't work...I can't figure it out. I resized them all to the correct size and everything...I don't get it. So I uploaded a picture onto "Photobucket" and copied the address, and put it in my post....and....the address shows up in my post and not the picture, so people have to click on the address to see the pic... What am I doing wrong?
