Just missing Benji! AKA.. Ben... and JB"s wife.. who else had a camera running?

Man I'm sorry about that Bill I wasn't supposed to be in that pic (wrong place at the wrong time)

Yea.. ya did kinda ruin the panoramic shot I was going for!

Theres always next time to get pictures of everybody.

I should have gotten a shot of you holding the mop in a mock attack against JB during ONE of your bidding wars!

He threatened me with the mop. I did not touch the mop lol. I definitely had fun bidding with JB and discuskent haha.

Hey, Great pictures every one. It was a great time, I'm looking forward to May.

Agreed Mark. May is gonna be a long ways off lol.

For those of you who weren't there nor are members of the Virginia Chapter.. the auction instigated some hilarious competition amongst a few members! Heck.. we even had one bidder bid AGAINST HERSELF! (fess up lady)...

That was one of my favorite moments when (a certain person) bid against herself. I can't imagine who were the members involved in the hilarious competition.

Ben,,,,, dat b u. and Discus and JB... thanks for the giggles and grins..

Mark... great pics?? The 1 pic of me looks like I'm grabbing my boob! Just so everyone knows..I was putting my name tag on!

they got my best side the back

Ben was watching out for cameras he has a radar for lenses and would move every time I focused a shot. (and hid behind the aquariums in the back for the auction)

Ah ha!.. Ben you've been found out.. oh.. wait.. he had an issue for the longest time about being able to make the meet.. something about a JOB... was he playing hooky? And didn't want any evidence? That just has to be it!

Haha I was on the clock the whole time I was there. Had to go back by work after I left for a bit anyway. Shh dont tell my boss lol.

Yes

Cool. I don't know if everyone uses this, but I personally use photobucket. It's free to use and makes copying the code easy. If you want, make an account on there, and just click on upload pictures. And then find the folder you have pictures in, and then select the photos you want uploaded. And then once they're uploaded, there's 4 different codes you can pick from. You want the last one, the img one. Hover over the picture, and then just click on the code and it copies it for you. And then come here and right click paste. Then go back to photobucket and basically repeat. And then obviously once you're done just hit send. That's how I do it anyway.

Eash.. are you going to help him with the hosting?

Thanx for the info that sounds simple, I quit drinking 9 months ago I'll get started on the pic's as soon as I get back from the ABC store.

I could technically host the photos (I am actually saving all the photos everyone took) but free photo hosting websites like photobucket and I think imageshack and Flickr make it easy for people who don't know html/forum coding to post pictures.

LOL ah, good ol' alphabet store.

JB.. just a tiny explanation behind your issue. the "box" does not host images like photobucket or flickr does. When you upload your photo's to a IMAGE hosting site like the two mentioned before you then will be including the address of where that image resides within your box post. One mistake I made when first posting the photo's is that I would bring up the album from which the photo was going to be selected. The host site I use gives me a thumbnail (miniature) pic of all the photo's in that particular album. If I right click on the album photo and pasted that in the post, that was the SIZE of the pic that appeared after posting to the box. Then it dawned on me to left double click (select for viewing) the image I wanted to select. That would bring the image up full size. Once the image if full size, what I do is right click the desired photo. One of the selections will be "Copy image URL". Select that and return to your box post. In your box post, when you click on the image box (7th tool on the bar above the text box) a small box will appear. Left Click your cursor within that lil box and paste the URL of your image by holding the "Ctrl" key down and pressing the "V" key. This is the paste option. It sounds like a PIT Arse but really once ya post a few, it takes but seconds to repeat time after time.

Thanks Bill, you explained it far better than I would have lol. Both Striking and I were raised on computers, and I taught myself to code at 13, so it's hard for me to explain sometimes in layman's terms how to do something like that. Heck, I bought my mom her first digital camera this past Christmas, and tried to explain to her as best as I could how to upload to just the computer and she's still confused. Good thing I'm visiting her in less than two weeks so I can just show her in person, and hope that she remembers how to do it after I leave. :P
