Hi, Just to post a little tip, if you want to post images on the list, rather than doing things like erasing ICE views background grids to gain a few K's on your resized 10% quality jpgs, :] (The apparently ever-reducing image weight limit of this list is the worst i've seen anywhere, and what's up with that?) However, you can insert referenced images in e-mails including most email apps, or gmail:
Or in something like Thunderbird, you can untick 'attach images' in the insert image dialog where you enter the image address. There are a number of image hosting sites out there, I personally found www.postimage.org the most basic and straight forward one, where images basically never get deleted unlike the many ImageShack frog placeholders we see all over, and doesn't involve any 'captcha' or logins. When you get there, there is a browse button that brings-up a standard windows open dialog where you can pick one or a bunch of images at a time (using shift or ctrl click) and uplaod. (also it's still good to resize images to reasonable sizes to not involve lots of scrolling.) The next page shows a bunch of paths to your jpgs as autoselected text that you can copy and use that as remote image paths in your posts here or anywhere. There is usually an 'allow remote images' to be clicked for images to be seen in emails, so people can show images from say perhaps one of Matt's Latest Digests (almost a knowledge-base on it's own, and more to come I hope :] ), and not from say from ad...@doubleclick.net which there isn't much of that here anyways if at all. Cheers! |
