Re: Where do you keep your boat hook?
I think you'd look good with a couple of boat hooks as antennae...

I put a rack on the wall on the right side, facing aft. There should be a picture in the mods section. For some reason, can't add one by dragging file here.

Pictures must be placed on a public server such as PhotoBucket. The instructions that follow are for photobucket, but other image hosting sites will be similar and this is not an endorsment of photobucket.Andre Emmenegger wrote:For some reason, can't add one [Picture] by dragging file here.
Go to your photobucket account.
Hover your mouse pointer over the picture that you want.
Several options will appear.
Go down to the IMG code and left click in the code box to the right.
Right click in the code box and select copy.
Now, while composing your post on this forum, right click at the place that you want the pic to appear and select paste. It will look like this:
Code: Select all
Here is a picture that I took in the San Juan Islands:

Cool, huh?Here is a picture that I took in the San Juan Islands:

The forum software will automatically re-size the pic for easy viewing and when a member left clicks on it, the original size will be viewable. The board does not actually download, or store the pic, it just uses the code to make your browser do the work. Repeat for up to three pics/post. It is best to use the "Preview" option, to make sure that everything is OK, before you submit the post. There is a three picture limit/post, to help protect those that still have slow internet (me when out & about).
Flickr is a little more difficult.
- Left click on the pic that you want to post.
Above the pic, left click on "All Sizes".
Left click on the size that you want to post. Large works best.
Right click on the pic.
Left click on "Properties". A window will open.
Beside Address (URL), is the url that you will post. Copy all lines of it.
I triple click on it and it highlights all of it.
Above the edit window for your post, you will find a row of buttons.
Click on the Img button and it will place [Img] tags at the point of your cursor.
Copy and paste your Flikr URL between the [Img] tags in your post.

Alas, I only have one boat hook...
(I feel so inadequate!)
