Hi:
Does anyone know how to post pictures on this website for people using a Windows PC? Can you please post some simple bullet point instructions? Seems like it should be easy but it always frustrates the heck out of me. Eventually, I realized I need "OFC Photos for Dummies" and a couple beers to get those pictures up!

Thanks!

Jim

Easy.

I posted step-by-step instructions to another thread.

See: http://ovationfanclub.com/megabbs/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=47326&start=26

It's about half-way down the page. The instructions assume you've uploaded the photos to an OFC album.

If you don't want to use the OFC album, you'll need to upload the photos to another online server. Photobucket used to allow hotlinking of images, but have changed their rules and now you need to pay for the priviledge.

I upload my photos onto my own webspace on GoDaddy.com, then follow the exact steps outlined above.

You can also just click "attach after post" and just add them there. They'll even resize nicely.

Do they really re-size themselves? Test:

If you don´t want to opload your photo "somewhere on the internet" you can upload it to an album on this site and then copy the URL and insert it with the rich text editor.See pic from one of my albums, works perfectly.

It took me hours to upload most of my important Ovation pics to photobucket, and I would gladly have payed a little for their service, but what I have to pay for it now is way too much.
