    How to post photo on forum

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    Ok, I used Picasa, as I started out doing. Thanks for the directions. I would not have figured that out myself, well, not quickly. I selected the "embed image" otherwise it still gave the url of the page, not the image. Whew. I'm exhausted. THANK YOU SO MUCH, esp Mr Wilson & Mt Goat!!

     

    PS my pictures are posted in the "what did you get in the mail" thread. Now I just need to retake them and get better pictures.

    No, still lost. Tried it using Flickr. I am getting a message saying can't use that extension. Am I just copying the Http page, shouldn't it be an easy cut and paste?

     

    I am trying to post a pic of a geocoin. I don't know where you want me to post a never to be published geocache?? On what page, where on geocaching.com? I am not getting it. Is everyone saying that Picasa doesn't work? I am obviously doing something important wrong.

    Perhaps someone can help me. I have read threads telling how to upload a photo. It sounds like no big deal. Getting frustrated because I just wanted to post a quick photo and it's taking me forever since nothing is working. I'm used to uploading from my PC, but I understand that I have to use my Picasa for this since it says to use an online site. Is Picasa one that wont' work, because I get an error message saying that I cannot use that extension. Any ideas? And thanks.

    Just got my first ever shipment of coins today. Now that leads to more questions, as I am a very newb to the coin collecting.

     

    Should I get activation codes for them or not? I read from a poster that he/she would never trade or buy a coin that was already activated.

     

    Do I keep them in the little clear plastic sleeve they came in, in addition to the softer clear plastic cover?

     

    How am I supposed to identify them? I looked up the "names" that are still online, but I got a grab bag of coins, and I have no idea how to tell what one is. The others are easier to describe.(red fireplug w bulldog on it, ammo can, etc)

     

    One is a beautiful gold red and green "snowflake" looking coin that has 6 points and 12 signs of the zodiac (at least I think they are) and lots of triangles. No idea what it is. (from the grab bag)

     

    Thanks!

    Tactful way to say "move your cache out of the playground" ?

    Whew, this sure stirred up a hornet's nest!!

     

    My husband and I once got a cache around the corner from our house in a small neighborhood park that we pass everyday. It has a playground and at the bottom of a hill a small (maybe 1 acre) pond with a walking trail around it and a gazebo. There are very few trees so you can see the entire park environment, but the cache was hidden inside a circle of pine trees. When you "went in" the circle of trees you disappeared from sight and I remember feeling very self conscious about this. Of course we were innocently getting the cache, but there was such a huge site line from the rest of the area, that I felt like we looked like some sort of degenerate oddballs! Like...what are those old people doing in there!! Of course, I know I am suspicious!

     

    I like the posted quote that says "When you go to hide a geocache, think of the reason you are bringing people to that spot. If the only reason is for the geocache, then find a better spot." Then again, another one I like...If you don't like where it is, don't get it.

    Hi, I'm brand new to the Forum, but have been geocaching for 3 years. Only found one coin, but it was a Pathways, and although it had a trackable number, when I looked it up, it said there were 250 made to be given away and not travel. So that was disappointing, in a way. I wanted to read about where it had been!

     

    My name is Sawatdee, which is Thai for HELLO! My daughter in law is a Bangkok native and I have learned about 800 words in Thai. Sabai dee mai?

     

    I am a retired teacher, and enjoy geocaching because it is a great way to get outside and enjoy nature and spend time with the family, and I love a puzzle. Another obsession of mine is genealogy, which I have been doing for 25 years.

     

    Hope I win my FIRST GEOCOIN!

     

    Thanks!

    Question from a super new newbie, in fact, just ordered my first ever few geocoins today. Can anyone tell me if (or how) it is possible to locate specific topics related coins for purchase? I mean can I assume there exists a geocoin for a specific state, city, animal, hobby, whatever, that I want to get? Or is that why everyone starts trading?
