How do you post a pic on your topics, or on a thread to make an explanation? do you have to use html? which would mean I need a hosting service , right?
Thanks.

ECN uses UBB for the most part, and yes, you would need hosting, and free hosting like Geociteis tends to cause problems.

The other option is to send your pix and a desciption to:

photos@electrical-contractor.net

OK, I've got to get out into the field now!

I'm told this hosting service doesn't cripple the images from linking:

Picturestage.com

Haven't tried it yet... My ISP limits me to 5 MB and this one gives 50MB for free!

Good Luck Sean!

I've got a gig with Fat Headed Monster tonight, so I won't be logging back on until about 0400 EDT, and then for only a very short while!

Even if you don't pass, you'll have a better idea of what is on the test for the next time... But I have a feeling you'll do fine! You're already a far cry from most Masters in WV that I've come across- Tom being one of the exceptions.

Go get 'em killer!

Nice picture!


If you click the right arrow on your mouse and save the location, pasting it here is easy. Use the following with no spaces:

If you send the pictures to photos@Electrical-Contractor.net I will see that they get posted or I will tell you the url to use. (Tell me what to do with them)

Sean WB — Not trying to “rub it in,” but it looks like you've done some multiple tries to get this to work. Some sites seem to do their best to make it difficult, or at least have a steep learning curve. One suggestion—when you return to edit a posting, you can "cover your tracks," so to speak, by deleting previous [This message has been edited by Sean WB (edited 09-21-2002).] appended to the bottom of your edit.

{Bill Addiss' suggestion is probably the easiest route.}

ok barney:0, roger the test went good, I was stumped on a few. I posted a thread that I updated today about a question on the test. Its titled "SBCCI Journeyman test"
I believe I posted under NEC discussions, but not sure.
I feel pretty good about it, I believe if I passed it will be close, NOt because I just guessed any of them, but its kinda tricky , you know? Motor calculations I am ok at, its the FPN's that get you everytime [Linked Image]

Nice picture!

Thanks Joe. If you click on the "First Album" there at "Picture Stage", you will see a newer picture of the Watt Doctor on a rainy day. The picture may suggest that I am a big country music fan (I do like it), but I love metal as well.

Rock on,
Doc

You playin' a "C major" or the ubiquitous country "G major" there Doc?

Heck, I play bass, you and electure play guitar, mike on organ, didn't somebody say they played drums?

We could have a band!... Call it "AC/DC"... Wait... that's been done...

(Darling little girls, BTW!)

You don't look like a metal head, Doc!

66vw,
Good eye....G maj. I play at the guitar. I someday hope to play it. For now I'm playing riffs to powerful tunes such as "Skip to M' Lou, and Row, Row, Row your boat".
Thanks for the comment on my girls. They are much more mature than I am. The other day they were in an argument about some toy, or something. So, I, having heard enough, in no uncertain terms requested their presence in the living room. "What's the problem?", I questioned. They both resounded, "She took my...." I broke in and said, "I want y'all to have a fist fight right here in the living room, and whoever wins, gets the toy (or whatever it was)!" Their jaws dropped so wide that you could've thrown a watermelon in each one. They looked at each other, then at me, and said, "Dad, we can't do that." I said, "Why not?" They said, "Because we would get in trouble." That said, they turned and left the room. I didn't hear a peep out of them for the rest of the evening.
I like to knock 'em off balance from time to time. It keeps things interesting.
As for metal, Texas is probably one of the few places that you can wear a cowboy hat, and jam to Metallica at the same time.


Riding the Lightning,
Doc

I find Flickr from Yahoo very user friendly.

You can set up a free account there and every month you are allowed 20 Mega bytes of photo data to be added to your photo's.

Upload your photo's there as per the prompts, It will give you the options when you click on the photo, all sizes, click the required size, and you get the http UBB URL number of the photo.

then by using the [img] and [/img] codes the photo will be listed and not take up any server space at ECN or other forum data bases.

Cifra 12 Slave clock with blue LED's for backlighting.

Easiest is to keep the http URL codes on a word sheet for easy pasting in.

Ever wondered why you can't see half of them pics in the thread above?.
That is caused by a Server that holds the pics linked-to failing.
Ever wondered why Bill and us Moderators insist that you send the pics to us to be put on the ECN Server?.
That could be your answer.
Please guys, play by the rules, no-one likes to see a thread without pics.
And it is no use to us at all.
Any Moderator can post pics, so use them, that is what they get paid for!. [Linked Image]
{Hmm, pay?, blast!!}
Posted By: Trumpy Re: Posting a pic to a thread. - 05/11/06 08:33 AM
One other reason although quite small.
We need to have a certain amount of control over the pics that are posted here, because if someone starts posting pornographic images here, that would not be good and it would also be your quickest ticket out of here as a member.
Please, don't disparage me as a kill-joy, I like a laugh probably more than the next guy, but lets please keep things in check here folks, it's worked thus far, why change it?. [Linked Image]

Photobucket , which I use, allows 1 GB of storage and 10 GB of bandwidth monthly. It also allows video storage and has the ability to make image folders hidden, so people can't backtrack through the folders.
Posted By: RODALCO Re: Posting a pic to a thread. - 05/11/06 07:23 PM
Thanks Mike for explaining that 'failed link'.

I always wondered when an empty square box with a red cross appeared that it was a fault with my computer settings,

of course I entirely agree that control has to existy to stop objectionable material being posted.

For the odd insert which is usually electrically anyway, I sometimes think of you moderators who sometimes must be inundated with extra work, like inserting photo's, editing threads etc, and doing your normal job too.

You guys doing a great job here at ECN and keep up the good work.

Kind regards
