These are very good, Moo! I've never used flickr but I like it.

Moo - you're a genius! I've looked at things on flickr before, but they weren't nearly as well-presented as yours. These are a good size as thumbnails, so that you can see whether you've got the right one or not.

Questions:

Can you link to them here, to display the photo and not just the link?

Is your account private, or can anybody see them (if they know your name, of course)?

I'll think of some more as soon as I Submit this.

[mentalbovine]

i think you can linkto photos with thumbnail...ill try and see.

i set it up with my yahooemail- but i think we could try and set up group thins- i shall investigate (i know they did it for the BBc springwatch through flickr- so maybe??any technogeeks in the house tonight?)

A little experiment with your photo . . .




Goodie! It works as a thumbnail if you right-click the photo and paste the image location between Img tags, like this:

Code: Select all

I had another go at fixing the quota problem last night, but most of the answers when I searched were from 2006 and 2007 . . . so they were talking about a completely different software, sorry.

Now, if we can just work out how to make the link work in a new window or tab, so that people don't wander away and get lost . . .

Lovely photos, moo - really enjoyed looking at them. Looks as if you got a nice day for taking them too.


Oh, just a thought - can you not simply right-click on the link, then it should give an option to "open in new window"?

Some really good photos there, Moo! You've got a good eye for composition.

Oh, just a thought - can you not simply right-click on the link, then it should give an option to "open in new window"?

Yes, that works - the trick is reminding everyone to use right-click though!

Ideally it would be nice to have a thumbnail here, which could be clicked to open a bigger picture on a new page, so that you don't forget where you were before we started.

I think there would be no problem with quotas here if we posted photos for a shortish time and then deleted them, but since we have quite a few old photos that we might want to go back to, that isn't really an option.

Since my other forum is entirely historical, and has old family photos and documents, there's even less deletion there - so this quota thing is a bit of a worry on both forums.

I'm still looking into hows and wherefores, but something like flickr may be our best hope - if only it didn't have a limit too!

[mentalbovine]

Ahhh- thats how yu work the IMg thingies!!!!


might eb worth seeign if we can get somethign like the BBc did for springwatch so that everyone posted photos to central place!


and composition- well that was chance more than skill! it was indeed a braw day for it- and was nice to see how exotic (and other worldly the east coast is!

ill look into group flickr- i sure i could change mine to host em all (not sure what monthly upload is?)
