Here and Now...What's Happening?

Mustn't forget to invite passers-by as well....
So, what will you have to drink?
We also have a buffet table full of morsels and treats
and the bear can have the garbage bin when we are done.

That'll be three beers for the bear drinker I reckon

Happy B-day to the Village ...

Souls on Parade
during the Age of Change,
Mages and Sages,
Spirit Songs and hearts longing
for surcease, for peace
from the storms of life,
synchronicitous occurrences,
the easing of strife lessened,
tests and blessings,
open minds in connected times,
love trined, the stars and planets aligned.

This day arrives but once a year,
collecting fears in the vale of tears,
dissipating hate, the clearing of internal slates,
love never abates,
the joy of celebration on this wonderful
and auspicous,
date.

The bear looks like he's eyeing up the photographer...won't be satisfied with scraps.

Anyone know how I can get a photo up on here? I got firewalls here, doesn't let me do any kind of photo site or networking site--I was thinking that maybe the "avalon inbox" has some sort of address I could send it to from an outside email? Or is that only avalon-to-avalon email?

Donk, you can load your photo onto a photo sharing site like photobucket or flickr. I have blocks, but can do those. Maybe google to see what's out there you can access.

PM's are only within Avalon, and Avalon does not host photos so you'd need to have them on another site and import them here.

Once it's there, right click on the photo and select copy photo url, or select properties and then get the url that starts with http://.

Once you have that url copied, come to the posting box and click Insert Image icon (hover your mouse over the different icons to see the names). A box will pop up -- copy the URL into the space, and click OK. Your photo should show up.

If you are on a computer that has blocks (like the one I'm on now, at work), you might not be able to see it. But others can.

Flickr changed their rules recently to make it a bit harder. You'll need to open up the pic until you get a 'copy URL' option, and you have to make it a public photo, I believe.

You can see how it will look by clicking 'Go advanced' before you push the posting button (Submit Reply). And change it if you need to.

Hope this helps. Let me or the other moderators know if you need more help. I am on only sporadically during the workday but will check back later.

Cheers, and party on Village!

Um, Avalon does host photos?

I go to "my profile" and add images to my miscellaneous album all the time, then get the link and post them here.

We get 35 mb of space to host images.

Or am I special? Nobody else does this?

Woohooooooo!

All My Love,

How do you do that? Can you go directly from an email? I have confirmed that the blocker here is pretty hardcore--nothing with photo or network or social or anything gets through...

Of course. That don't necessarily mean you get privledges

Up at the top of the forum on the right hand side where it says 'settings' and 'log out'. It should also say 'my profile'. Click on that on on the left side beneath your friends, it should say 'albums'. If you haven't created any there should be a link there to allow you to do so, then once you do, you can upload directly to PA's server from your computer, images that you have dl'd onto your desktop or into a folder. The Vbulletin software has all of the functionality that you'd need to upload.

AWESOME! Thanks!

...cuz nothing's more important than showing you all what Angel is doing "here & now"....she is trying to figure it out too:

***bad link removed, please see below

[donk]

clean up the clutter

[Jenci]

I'm not seeing your images, Donk. Just a small icon. Anyone else?


Jeanette

[donk]

I can see them...though when I go to my album it says I have no photos (and I see there is two)

Ditto, a broken image link icon ... if the image was able to upload onto PA, then it should show. Did you get a confirmation, were you able to click on the image and then see a link to it on the bottom right hand side? There should be two boxes on that side of the image that say 'picture URL' and 'bb code'. I use 'picture URL', which you have to place in your post using the 'image' functionality in your toolbar above the text box. If you use 'bb code', you can just paste that as stand-alone code.

[donk]

To get them up there, I right clicked after uploading them from my desktop...and cut/pasted the link from the properties screen. It is weird, it is like they are kinda there, but maybe only for me? M<aybe because of some security from work?

I've done it many times, and it works. You create an album on the profile page. Right now I'm on the road, on my iPhone, so I cannot attend to the exact details ...but there is always the sandbox thread for learning how to do this

[ViralSpiral]

Or..... if you wish to post a pic from your already existing gallery on your pc, go to "go advanced" (next to "post quick reply")

Go to "manage attachments", then "add files" and uplaod. It will then look like so....

[donk]

Sorry for cluttering this up. It was crucial though that I got these uploaded





Apologies for my inner-nets forum challeged-edness!!

I don't see Donk's image either.
UPDATE: I should have gone to the bottom post first. Adorable bunny. It is a Dutch rabbit?

[donk]

[donk]

Wonderful!

The bottom was the "here & now" theme...as in, lil' Angel was living it. The other was just showing off...
