Harvey – your assumption is wrong. Position in you photo folder has nothing to do with the position of the photo in you post when you link to severel photos.
I went into my photo album and reordered the six images displayed earlier in this thread and nothing changes to the images or their location in the post. As long as the image/photo remains in the folder it was linked to, it will display properly it in the post.
What I did was actually change the photos from what I originally posted as a link to my album.
Here is an example; the image below is a blue square with “image two” on it.
Tonight after the time has passed for editing the post, I will display the water heater that Roger linked to earlier in this thread in place of the blue square.

Dave,this is good, as long as the photo stays in the original folder(album), but, if it is moved to another album or sub-album, will it show up, or another photo, or more likely, a blank.
Harvey,

PS: It's getting near early, almost 0100 Thursday 12-30-10 and if you already put the water heater in place of the Blue Image Two, the magic didn't work, as I am still seeing the blue Image two, not the water heater. _________________ Though in our sleep we are not conscious of our activity or surroundings, we should not, in our wakefulness, be unconscious of our sleep. |

Harvey – I waited to change the photo until someone posted a message below my post, so it would be obvious that the change occurred after the time for editing the post had passed.
As long as the photo stays in the album or in a folder in your album that it was linked to, it will be displayed in the post. If it is moved to a new folder or deleted, the frame for the photo in the post will be blank with a small red X as displayed below.
If the photo is moved back into the original folder it was linked to, it will be displayed in the post again. If it is deleted, then you have to upload it back into you album and it has to have the exact same name as the original photo. Moving the photo to a new page will not break the link as long as it is still in the same folder. This works regardless of who linked to it. This will change the photo in one of your post or anyone else that links to a photo in your album. If you link to a photo in some one else’s album, you have no control over it but that person that has the photo album does have control of it.
How I did the above trick with the water tank was to delete the original blue square in my photo album and then save the water tank photo to my computer and rename it with the same name that my blue square had, then upload it to my album in the same folder the blue square occupied. Now you have to delete the photo in your album you are going to replace before you upload the new one. If you do not, the server will add numbers to the name of the new photo you are uploading because there cannot be two files/photos in the same folder with the same name.

Dave-
Thanks for getting that straightened out, explained, and understood!
The other question I originally had was about photos linked to elsewhere on the internet, but it's clear now we have no control over those at all, they're fairly likely to change their addresses in time, and to be sure they are kept available to be displayed with posts here on the C-Brats forum, they would have to be put into an album and/or folder here, and left unchanged (as you've demonstrated) here.
Let me know if this is not correct.
Thanks, again!

Joe – you are 100% correct.
There are a couple of unlikely scenarios that can happen when the photo is linked to an outside site.
1. The image can change to one that is objectionable to the administrators and/or the members. For instance you link to one of the calendar images mentioned in another thread going on at this time. If that image is changed and it has the same name, it would be displayed in the post. Instead of a sexy woman still in an acceptable pose, it could be a full nude person that would not be acceptable here. The chance of this happening is almost nil so I would not worry about it.
2. The other scenario would be an easy thing for a spammer to do. I hesitate to explain the process for fear of it being done. Probably from the information I have given here it won’t take much to figure it out but no sense spelling it out for one.

Dave and Joe,
Thanks for the demo. Seems like magic, but the clear explanation really helps.
I'm thinking that;
#1. Put photos into the main album,
#2. get them labeled and moved to the sub album
#3. don't delete any photos from the albums.
Thanks again,
Harvey

Go to your album. On the right upper corner is "album actions". Click on "add photos"
A new window will open, which will allow you to transfer any of the standard photo formats, like JPEG, Tif. Gif. To your album. Click on the first link, go the the place on your computer, and click choose file. The default is 5--but I have put as many as 15 up, especially when I have resized them for the internet. (made smaller).
If you have an ad blocker, that may have to be closed before the dialogue welcome up to post the new images.
Good luck. _________________ Bob Austin

Here is the generic blurb I send out when I set up an album for someone:
Quote: | OK, your album is all set up. It is linked to your profile and will show up in the info to the left of your posts. It is pretty easy to figure out using the commands at the top right of your album page.
The quickest way to get to it from the C-Brat front page is to click on your own name is the list of people online. That brings up your public Profile and the album link will be there.
If you have problems adding pictures, the first thing to look for is a pop-up blocker stopping the needed window from opening in your browser. It is safe to disable any pop-up blockers for the C-Brat site. If you get through all the steps and find the pictures will not load, that will most likely be due to the picture file size being too large for our software to handle. The gallery software resizes the pics automatically, but if they are too big to start with it often stumbles a little. Try resizing to reduce the file size before uploading. |

I use use photobucket.com and never move/edit the files once on photobucket.
Unless their servers are down for maintenance (I want to say early Sat - but not often) I've never seen any issues.
I autobackup my photos on my phone - so no uploading manaully. I want to say I can have 10GB of files for free. So far I'm at 11% usage after several years.
Keeping it simple...sample below

I still hoping for Tapatalk compatibility
On this site I don't post many pics and usually use pics from my photo album. Who wants to see a Parker boat on C-Brat site anyway! None the less, I just love this site and a frequent monetary contributor . _________________ Brent Barrett |
