Hijacking

[cclarkego]

Can someone tell me how you do those attached thumbnails like the one above. I'd like to know how to do that and also how to make a link to another forum thread. I checked in the how to departments, but couldn't find it.

Thanks, Carol

Not too tough. To upload a picture, choose the "reply to thread" option like you normally would. Scroll down until you see "attach files". Click "manage attachments".

Dang, computer problems at home let me try this again.

[Jim & Susan]

I usually place the picture I want to upload in the "My Pictures" directory on my computer. Makes them easy to find. Click "Browse', then find the file in your my pitures directory. Click upload. Once the Pic uploads, click "close this window". Then click submit reply at the bottom of the page.

Here's the official explanation from Janet, one of the Mods: http://www.airforums.com/forums/f138...tml#post612569

Probably better than I can 'splain it.

Carol, Jim and/or Susan are right about attachments. If you need more help after you try it, ask more questions. If you want to post a picture from an e-mail or an article or just about anything else, you can drag it to the desktop where it'll have a name and then you can select it via the "manage attachments" window. I had trouble with this at first, but now it's easy.

Links can be done a couple of ways. I open another browser window, get whatever I want to link whether in the forum or not, and either drag the address over to the message, or copy it from that box at the top of the page with the address starting with "http…" and paste it into the message. If it's a Forum thread and it's subscribed, you can go to the list of your subscribed threads and do the same thing. The link may look strange in the message box, but usually comes out more like the links you see all the time when you "go advanced" and click to what the message looks like. The software knows what a link looks like and should convert it automatically.

I have a Mac and it may be different on them PC's.

Now, if you post a link to the same thread, will you get infinite links?

[Jim & Susan]

To post a link to another thread, I usually open that thread in another tab in my browser. Right click on the url in the top of the browser, copy and paste into the post you are making; Like this: http://www.airforums.com/forums/f226...tml#post910660

Just remember one thing tho, garage door openers have a finite lifetime, just like main sequence stars.

Thanks everybody, I'll have to practice those for a bit....

I heard it is very dangerous, they breed like minks!

Great, now my browser is stuck in an endless time loop. Newton and Einstein would be amused.

Take a red LED penlight, flash it around the complete circumference of your computer, it will cut the connection...

Question of the day:

What was Yul Brynner's real name and where is he from?

Jim

[Aage]

Yuli Borisovich Bryner, born July 11, 1920 in Vladivostock, Russia

From imdb.com

Sad part is that he died at only age 65!

"When he developed lung cancer in the mid-1980s, he left a powerful public service announcement denouncing smoking as the cause, for broadcast after his death. The cancer and its complications, after a long illness, ended his life.

Brynner was cremated and his ashes buried in a remote part of France, on the grounds of the Abbey of Saint-Michel de Bois Aubry, a short distance outside the village of Luzé. He remains one of the most fascinating, unusual and beloved stars of his time."

There is a devilish problem that is starting to creep up on me as I read through all the posts of every imaginable problem that can possibly go wrong whether you are towing the trailer or just sitting quietly in it parked on some RV lot that allows older trailers even though the rules say no trailers over ten years but then they make an exception to the rule because it's an airstream and maybe it starts raining and then here come the leaks and what if by accident I used silicone which I now know eats aluminum or one of the water hoses start to leak but I am not really mechanically inclined and if the leak gets into the wiring well don't even ask me if I know which fuse to change cause I wouldn't know a good fuse from a bad and it might be even that you bought the wrong year trailer and the rear end could be dropping or cracking and if you heard it crack and it was night time could you really see the problem with a flashlight or even better take a picture because most people want photos to be able to accurately dissect the problem and all of these problems could be happening right at this minute or very soon afterwards, do you think there is a possibility nay probability that reading the Airstream Forums could make you go crazy?
