New Photo Game

Dang, I followed all the hints and it still won't paste.

You copied the URL of the page the photo is on, not the actual photo. Place your cursor over the photo you want to post, right-click and select copy image location or whatever wording your browser uses. Paste that between the

Here's another "post a photo" hint.....

If the link you paste in btwn the img symbols does not end in jpg, you did something wrong.

John, I thought about that when I restarted this, and agree that it is something of a regional issue. Obviously there are some who have covered much more of our great country than others, but as you imply, most have not had that opportunity. My hope was to involve more participants, as I think it helps develop more skill on the website, (finding, posting to our albums and posting to the thread), but as you say, it does have that geographic challenge. I thought about doing a left siders and an east siders game, running each separately, but then we are into the middle land BRATS, and what about our Canadian friends?

Maybe not inundating the winner, but allowing the first person to post if the winner has not posted a new picture in 24 hours, would work. That might encourage more frequent checking the site, and decrease the regional advantage some.

I think that could work.

Harvey,
Thanks, I think so too if you want to change the Rules.

Brats adventures like those of Discovery crew and Colby and Micah I always cherish and hope to follow some day!

So, if Harvey changes the Rules, who (other than Boris, who gave us the inspiration for this particular Adventure) can ID where the photo was taken?

PS thanks guys for the photo posting tips, which as our host Harvey points out, was part of the reason for this thread from the start!

Thanks to all and esp our Harvey!

Cheers, and it is not a difficult destination! Any Brat can do that Adventure without crossing any major body of water!

John, May I refer you back to page one in this thread. Whoa, here is the quote, so you don't have to turn all those pages:

Jim said:

"The experiences on this forum are wide-ranging. Our boats take us to all kinds of interesting places, and we're able to share that with our C-Brat brothers and sisters. How 'bout a photo game to show some of those places?

The rules are simple:
1. Has to be something YOU photographed (no snagging something off the internet).
2. Has to be in the US or Canada.
3. Has to have some kind of identifying feature.
4. When you guess correctly, you have to post the next photo to keep the game going.
5. Optional - you may include a hint.

Here's the first..."

I cannot take any of the credit for inventing this game. Captain Jim started it way back in ....

So I think it best if we appeal to Jim and see what he thinks about allowing some expansion to include more brats. So, Jim, what do you think of adding a Number 6 to the rules as follows?

If the current winner, after being declared, has not posted a new photo by 24 hours from declaration, anyone can post a new photo.

This would give some chance for others to post, and encourage more frequent visitation to the thread.

Jim, Thanks for taking a look and letting us know what you think. I'm sure we would be open to anything that seems to make it more fair and appealing to the masses.

PS: John, I have no idea where that is, so maybe there are some right coasters that can pick it up.
