Re: Trying to download photos.
Hi fellow Cambridgshire microscopist.
Many people on the forum use an image hosting site, such as photobucket/flicker etc. You can then put a direct link (the image hosting sites have a button next to your image saying direct link) between img tags that are created with a button in the editing window here on microbehunter.
The advantage is you can post bigger images and the servers for the forum don't get so full.
I took a while to start doing this when I joined but find it more convienient now.

Re: Trying to download photos.
Thank you for the information, I will probably try either photobucket or flicker. So I upload my photos to either and create a link to this site
is that what your saying? By the way where in CAMBS are you? I am located just outside Chatteris in the ward of Warboys. Perhaps we could get together some time?
Thank you for your input.

Re: Trying to download photos.
I use PhotoBucket and restrict the JPEG size to about 1.5 mp. After you upload the photo click your library, click the image, and click the "Direct" bar to the right of the image. In Microhunter click "[IMG]" and past your image between the two.
Looking forward to seeing some of your efforts,

Re: Trying to download photos.
Beautiful diatoms and beautiful images. By the way, in a post by rnabholz (Rod) I think you asked about uploading images from Photobucket, and I described what I think is a foolproof way to do it, but I cannot find it right now and I need to run (but maybe you can find that post quicker than I can). IF not, I'll search for it later tonight.
Re: Trying to download photos.
Here is a link to the thread: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3036&p=27590&hilit ... ums#p27590
and here is a copy of what I wrote there:
If when you are looking at your image on Photobucket you see to the right of the image, under "SHARE THIS PHOTO" one of the items labeled "IMG", then simply click on that field, it will turn yellow momentarily to indicate the the IMG code has been copied, then simply paste it in your post on the Microbe Hunter forum. If the IMG codes is not displayed to the right of your image, then:
After logging onto Photobucket, click on the avatar icon, then on "Settings", click on the "Albums" button at the top, and if the box next to IMG Code is not checked, click on it so it is checked (if it is already checked, then you don't have to do anything), then click on "SAVE" at the bottom. Now when you open an image, you will see on the right, under "SHARE THIS PHOTO", the IMG code. Click on it (the field turns yellow momentarily indicating that the code has been copied). In the Microbe Hunter forum, in your post where you want to post the picture, simply paste the code (^V if you are using Windows). That's it. It will paste the complete code like so:
[QMG]http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u49 ... g~original[/QMG]
(where I replaced the "I" in "IMG" with "Q" to prevent actually posting the image here).
In short, once you have the IMG code displayed for your pictures, just click on it, then paste it in the forum.
I hope this works for you. It has for me for a long time.
