Here’s how to post photos on this forum:

First - don’t attach photos. Only a tiny version will display.

Second - Post the photos on the web. Use your own website, or a free image hosting service like www.flickr.com (http://www.flickr.com), picturetrail, photobucket, etc.

Once posted on the web, right-click the photo to copy the URL (web address).

{For Flickr only: view the image by clicking on it. Then click the small link named ALL SIZES with the magnifying glass icon. Once the larger image is displayed, scroll down and you'll see two options for linking the image on websites. Select and copy the second one -- or just right-click the enlarged image to get the image location.}

Always test first by pasting the photo URL into the location field (http:// ) of a web browser and see if the photo displays.

Third - once posted on the web, try this procedure while logged in to this Forum:

1. Click the “User CP” link in the browser window in the top left of the menu bar.

2. Click the “Edit Options” link about halfway down the left column.

3. In the “Misc Options” at the bottom of the next page, select “Enhanced Interface” from the pulldown list.

4. Once this interface has been selected, in any “Reply” window you can click the “insert photo” icon --> a little yellow square icon with the stamp in the upper right corner, the mountains in the lower center. http://woodenboat.com/forum/images/editor/insertimage.gif

5. Once the little dialog box titled “Please enter the URL of your image” comes up, paste the URL of the photo in the field.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
If unsure of the procedure, test first by pasting the photo URL into the location field (http:// ) of a web browser.

Remember, the PHOTO URL will end in .jpg, not .htm or html. URLs ending in .htm are the page that the image is at, not the photo location itself. If the photo URL ends in other code, try deleting everything after the “xxxxxx.jpg” part of the URL to get it to display on web forums.
Just to save time before Thorne turns up:D

ProjectCanoe - have you used the Eureka much yet? Performance? Ease of build? Any funnies?

I have two sheets of plywood left over from my current Wee Rob canoe building adventure and am considering the Eureka for 2 and occasionally 3 person outings...

I used both of the eurekas last fall before freeze up. It was my first time in a canoe, seemed tipsy. With nothing to compare to, it didn't take long to get used to them. I'm currently making skirts for them and the cinderella. The Eurekas took about 45 hrs, very easy, cheap, and informative. I'm ready to take on the Tug Along.
