Just added the logo to my Avatar. Quick easy way to say you are a SAAC member-

Lets stay on topic. I created a thread so you guys can insult each other elsewhere.

I think it's more about the guy 6 months form now who doesn't want to research how to do it. We loose his images or his post because he can't figure it out. I attached an image from the Boss302forum site. Intuitive is the word I want to use. Not opening 2 browsers to keep track of where your at. Then posting to the gallery then copying and pasting the thread and adding width=999.

Attach it to the bottom of the message. Done.

This is gong to be my last comment on this, but I think we are missing the point. New users months from now are not wanting to do the dance. No other forums have this craziness, why should ours. We loose on this.

width=999

^^ thank you-

..... again, I'm not looking for the work around solution. The guy 6 months from now who goes to our site isn't going to spend the time to find the post that steps him through the "Easy Shmeasy" solution. I'm looking big picture. 6 months from now, a year from now. Lots of lost images because we couldn't have an attachment button to choose a file off the desktop of the computer 95% of us have images stored on.

I agree with Jim P. We are not necessarily talking about the "power user". Those individuals will most likely get it. But what about the occasional user, or weekly user who has something important to add. Either it be some documentation they would like to show, or an image of something they would like to sell.... or an image of something they would like clarification on. We will miss out on those images because those individual will not either understand or want to go threw all the steps to upload an image. I guess that is the reason why I posted this in the first place. I think the club will loose out on valuable information with the picture upload format it currently has. I figured out how to do it, that's not my point. It's the bigger picture of what we as a club ( SAAC ) are going to be missing out on from an image database. As they say, a pictures worth a 1000 words......

Jeff-

.... as we can see, we all have an opinion. My original request was to add a poll post. Lets get it up and take a vote. That way we will know if there is a vast majority who can do it and are just keeping quiet and could care less about the old way. Or is there a vast majority of those who can't figure it out, or can but feel it's more of a hassle to go through the steps to do so and have stopped posting pictures or don't frequent the site as often.

Put up the poll and let the members vote!

testing the width=999 thing. Again, took me way too long to get this image up. Just say'n.....

width=999

....who would have thought selling floor mats would be so lucrative! 

forgot my image!! LOL-

Not to beat a dead horse, but are there any plans in the works to resurrect the "Attachments and other options" feature to post an image on a thread post. I've seen in the past that there have been threads with polling buttons for certain subjects. I'm not sure how to do that on the forum, and it most likely can only be done through a moderator, however if someone can do it lets take a poll. Who currently likes the way you post a picture and who prefers the old old way of doing so.

The reason I'm going back to this is I can tell by reading quite a few threads that there would usually be an image associated with the post. Either for something for sale etc. There are more and more "email me for pictures" when they should just be posted in the thread. My hunch is there are quite a few out there that haven't mastered, nor want to deal with the new posting method. The lack of images certainly takes away from the interest factor IMHO.

So if you know how to create a thread with a poll, please do so. It would be interesting to see how many feel the old way was much better-

Jeff

Looks like you made the Facebook page-

A few other paintings he has done / for sale:

Nice stuff-

.... so is that a picture of the actual finished painting? or is that the photoshopped image he was using to paint from. I'm assuming it's oil paint? If that's the finished product that is amazing-
