Seeing if I can attach a file.

I have been working on that since we installed this program and cannot get it to work. If you do, let me know how you did it.

Go to the post TEST and open it. There on the leftsideline you see in small print attachment. Click on this and you'll see the ISAFhandicap rating list.

SO it can be done it you read the FAQ carefully.

I'll tell you the solution is a day or so. =)

Wouter

Try again, Wouter! I clicked on your attachment link, and I get a file not found!

Huhh, I've tried again and I do get it to pop up.

Strange, I've seen something like this on the Formula forum too. Probably when I log off and on I won't be able to get it to pop up too. Maybe a cache thing ?

I will to experiment with it some more.

Wouter

I get the file also.

Maybe because it's an open cat rating list Hobie sailors are banned from recieving it. 🙂

Ditto. By the way, there's not much info in the FAQ. I've been dying to attach this pic to my messages, but having read the info, I guess it needs to be on the web somewhere.

Wouter

O.K. Wouter:

I click on attachment, and get your attachment. Please share your computer wealth of knowlege with me.

Dave

Just go to the FAQ and the markup I think is and it will appear in the body of the message.

Rick

Seems I yelled to soon, I can only get it too work for one session and only with my own posts. After I log off the web and log on again and go to the same post I get the same error message as you.

This baffles me a bit. looks like the link is getting fouled up and caching masks this when your still in the same session.

Well, I'm to tired now and have too much work to do the coming days to really look at it. Sorry.

Wouter

It's the browser. Netscape doesn't work, Internet Explorer does. At least on my machine, that's the case.

Rick,

That's not what Al is asking. He wants to post a picture that exists on his hard drive, not on the web. Perhaps that's not possible, but it seems like it should be.

try this:

\image{Text description}

Upon posting, you are prompted for an image file to upload. Images

must be either GIF or JPEG format. Images must be saved on your

hard disk. Your browser must support form-based file upload

(Netscape Navigator 2.0+ and Internet Explorer 4.0+ support this; IE

3.02 will also work provided that you have installed the file upload

Steven,

I think I did all that, and it still doesn't work. I did post with jpeg. Why don't you give it a try, and show us that posting an image works. I'd love to see someone be successful at this.

Thanks,

Tim

Alutz...on my other post (2 up) certainly has a handle on what to do. If we can get him to give us a

detailed

breakdown, I think we'll have a valuable tool for this forum.

Dave

Dave,

Alutz is using a URL to attach his picture. I don't think anyone here has ever doubted that method of posting pictures. The question is how to upload a picture from your own hard drive, and get it to display. That's what I'm interested in figuring out, anyway. In his post he uses a URL, at least if I'm finding the post you're referring me to.

Fair winds,

I wonder if Rick's server can handle the load of storing hundereds of jpegs. Would that slow down the server's response time to queries to the forum? Perhaps this forum disallows what you desire for a good reason.

Good question. If that is the case, Rick obviously doesn't realize it, as he says himself that he's been trying to get it to work for a while.

Rick's 11/20 post in this string shows a picture in the sidebar but many other posts show

Attachment

but no picture below. When I click on most of them I get

Content-Type: application/octet-stream

. Wouter's 11/20/01 8:34 attachment is text and I get that. Is my software missing something? Is there somewhere I can get a lesson on using this or is this string a lesson?

Thanks

Me again.

My previous post shows

attachment

. Where did that come from? I didn't attach anything. Now I'm really confused.

I don't understand it anymore. Now I can view my own attachement again !

Wouter

when you post your message, attachment is on by default. When you view your file you need to uncheck the box. OK, now that I'm doing it, I see that I'm full of beans. Oh well.

As to the pictures on posts, if you right click on them and click on properties, you'll see the url where they are posted on the web.

attachments? that display? Did this work?
