Picture Posting Instructions;
Your photos must be stored online in order to post them.

I suggest using;
www.photobucket.com
or
www.mysticcolorlab.com

Sharemation is a real pain. Don't use it!
These instructions apply for all OTHER photo storage web sites.

First!
Resize any pictures you'd like to post to a maximum of 400x600 pixels. Larger pictures distort the forum page and take longer to load.
Avatar pictures should be 120x120 pixels maximum.

Upload your pictures to your chosen site by following their instructions.

The main page of your photo album is generally displayed in thumbnail format for reference purposes. These thumbnails are usually suitably sized for use as avatar pictures to be added to your profile.

To add an avatar (picture etc.) to your profile;
Right click on the thumbnail and choose "Copy Image Location"
 
Open your MyFishfinder  profile and paste the address to the "I have my own picture" box and check that box. Your avatar  should be displayed in all your posts. You can change your avatar at  any time.

To post full sized (400x600 max) pictures;

Open your photo album;
Click on the thumbnail to view the full sized picture.

Right click on the picture and choose "Copy Image Location"

Go to your posting area at MyFishfinder.

The "Add BBC tags:" tool bar is at the top of every message dialog below the "Subject" dialog box. In the lower row, click on the 4th icon from the left...the "Add Image" icon.

The command [ img][ /img] will appear in your text message.
Paste the address of your picture between the commands like this;
[ img]paste your image location here [ /img]
Be sure not to add any spaces or other characters.

Preview your post to be sure your picture is there and then choose

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Hey Bob. I think I got the hold of it now ;D ;D  Still cannot understand why my pictures are blurry when I bring the pixels down to 120 X120. In my album they are also fuzzy. Any idea how I can clear them up. My children were doing great until tonight. Their dog ran away or my fear is someone took him. They don't seem to down however it is just another thing that they didn't need. I have two weeks of holidays this summer that I reserved just for them. I can't wait. They are my life.   I need to forward you those pictures. I will soon I promise. They still talk of the gifts. That meant a lot to them and also to me. May god bless you and your family. Take care.

Big Walleye,
The fuzzyness could be related to the quality of the original picture or the way you're reducing them. Are you using a program like Adobe Photoshop or just reducing them in Photobucket?

We're very happy to hear the kids,and you, are doing better.

I am reducing them in photo impression. Should I try something different. I will PM you with a picture. If you have time try reducing it to 120 X 120 pixels and see what happens. Thanks buddy.

Big Walleye,
I played around with it...did the same thing to me...must be the camera or my ineptness.
