From what I can tell, HP Photo Shop will not let one post photo to another web site for viewing. The only ones that can see the photos are the ones that have an account with HP Photo Shop, and that is why I could see my photo using the properties mode of the photo. That is why I was having success and I think Jim could see his photos.
We’re done here Robin.
Buckeye,
If that is the case, why is there no problem posting on the OGR Forum???
Hey guys, all us fishing guys use Shutterfly. Its free and works [now that Spankybird has got me trained right ][swg]. Shutterfly.com
I don’t know, why does it work on the OGR Forum?
It doesn’t work here and it doesn’t work on the test web pages that I made and had Spankybird test the connection. I am guessing but web pages can be written in different types of code. Some are compatible with HP and some are not. My test web page was constructed using Front Page and the HP linked photos would not show, but the test photo stored with the web page opened imediately (no red X).
Another example of differences: Front Page will let one construct a web page with embedded video, but some web hostings do not have that feature unless you pay extra.
It might be time to ask Bergie, the webmaster here. That is very strange that they would work in one forum and not the other. There must be something different between the two, the question is WHAT. I wish I could be more helpful, sorry.
Until CTT gets this fixed, this forum is just an also-ran. There has to be some kind of standard between these things.
There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON why any of us should have to have ten different programs to post pictures on ten different forums. One program, whether it be HP, Photoisland or whatever, should work on all!
Has anyone ever used a forum that allowed you to simply drag and drop a .jpg file from your computer directly into the post? Or is this technically unrealistic? It would have to have the intelligence of resizing a large file to meet the maximum file size imposed by the Webmaster, I suppose…
Or, allow “attachments” similar to the way e-mail clients work…?

Hi Jim,
The first time I post a photo here, that is exactly what I did. I did the preview and it all looked great at home, but no one else could see it. I then started my web page and up-loaded the photo’s to it.
Unless you have a two way form of communications, this can’t happen. As I understand it, the form need to pull the picture from a HOST site. I think it requires the site to have public viewing, like a web page.
There is a way to post HPphoto on this site, I just have not found it yet. [banghead]
If you look at your profile photo, it is from HPphoto. Why does it post it there and not on the rest of the form[?][?].
Like I say, there must be a way. [:-^] If I find out, it won’t cost you more than $18.00 to find out. [(-D] [(-D] [(-D]
Just kidding [:o)]

I have been looking on the HP Photo site and it looks like there is a place on it to store your pics for actions (etc.) Note this is only for 3 months.
I have also been looking over on QGR forum [:O] on this same subject and I noticed many concerns as to how long the pics would remain on the forum. My best guess is 3 months. [B)]
This may not be the best place to host your pics for the forum. There goes my 18 bucks, darn.

Guys, I keep telling you all to look at Shutterfly. We’ve been using it for fishing photos on two boards and its FREE.
http://www.shutterfly.com/home/signin_member.jsp Sign up and go thorugh the steps. Get your pictues into an album and then enlarge each picture you want. Right click, properties and copy the http: Paste it back here with the . Spankybird, I think I have it now. [:D]
Well when I put in the correct IMG’s it thought I was posting a picture.
Spankybird,
THE ADS, THE ADS…that’s the difference between the OGR forum and this forum and I have this funny feeling that the ads and/or ad blocking software is stopping the photos from HP from being posted. Can you see animation below or just an ugly looking brown mouse doing nothing:
Hi Frank,
E-mail me what you posted and I will look at it.
tom
Buckeye, I love that jumping mouse.
tom
Can you see it on the CTT posting? Is it dancing?
he is dancing, he is dancing
What pecan tree did you two fall out of? NUTS just plain two NUTS. [:D] Spankybird, I posted no picture. I was illistrating the IMG thing and it thought I was posting picture.
This is a test using Shutterfly as the image host. I’m curious to see if the image expands when you click it like it does from PhotoIsland. Seems to work pretty much the same as PhotoIsland, except there is no “link for auction” utility. Moot point for me…
The top image is from Shuttefly and the bottom one is from PhotoIsland. Clicking them seems to slightly enlarge both. You guys spend a lot of time working on the little details in your layouts and a lot of it is missed in the smaller images…wi***hey could be displayed up to 640 x 480, providing the file size is reasonable.
Jim (wish I could make it bigger) Duda
Hi Jim,
Yes they do get larger when click on. The top one is larger than the bottom one. Did you post them at different sizes??
By the way, nice engine.
Tom
Nope…both are originally 640 x 480…so it seems Shutterfly expands into a larger picture. That’s enough to have me seriously considering using it from now on…
