Am I actually starting this thread?
Gleeman, you have crossed the Jordan and are leading your flock into the Promised Forum.
Welcome.
thanks...for a very non-religious person I must have done well...
...duhhh... about the friggin icon thing...[[trying to be "nice") when it says select an icon...I don't get it...the icons directly above? and what's the diff? we just want to post, and post photos and stuff... those are all specific different tools, not a Quick reply "go to" button ... ?
is my last post not at the top
Please see "Insert an image from your computer into a post " in the How To forum. After you do it a couples of times it will be come clear.
is my last post not at the top... looks like its uncertain Me and a very certain you, Detgrrl...ya thats me on the rockin chair..
try to post w/ attachment- "Elkspirit"...
try to post w/ attachment- "Elkspirit"... image does not appear in the box..I have to click on the "attached image" box above, is that right ? - + there was no GO Advanced box
just trying another ..bigger...
This ain't half bad. we can work it
out. gonna be fun playing with all this new stuff. Let's not tell Hoover.;) Well, maybe this will take some time after all.
I'm just making this bigger 1 more time...I think we can post bigger images 'tho...
welcome...its a new day...I think i may have just been f8S4k'in it up with my mac, but the images look better 2 me..
Hey, I know who I'm with here!
If this actually works i'll be real surprised
Gleeman gets the "First Post On the New Garwood Thread" award.:)
Attachment 81coffebreak of the open sea
uhm, yes, Stn that was when I had my "Lip tweaking" problem.. :cool: thanks for the award..you've always been generous
Well I'll be danged....See DetGrl I told you I could do it lol lol
gash what are all those little things on the "dashboard"...not golf balls, not plastic jesuses..?:confused:
Well, so far I think it sucks because photos have to be "opened" somewhere else. There goes a huge chunk of spontanaeity.
aarrrrgggghhh! :confused:
I must admit all the bells and whistles are making me a bit dizzy
...c'mon, man up [[or, Grrrl up)... :D
...remember, its not up to us to think, just be happy we can react... :cool:
Glmn I think they are lures/bobbers etc......and I'm not that thrilled with the attachment feature.....I agree...looses spontaneity....Guess this is what we have to deal with......we'll get used to it I guess
ah, I see, you have to go to the next page...Attachment 84
I think this site needs some tweaking..the way it shows on mine the last post was 4:14...it's now 6:37..I know their have been posts since 4:14. before I made this "reply" there was supposedly a post by "lilpup" at near 6:00...not sure why it always says "reply" and not just "post"
am I replying to my own reply? Detgrrl how to go to the next page ?
I think you're right, dude!
I was talking about on the first page, where the thread is listed, it opens to the first page of posting, unless you hit the [[2).
So this is the other side?
Thought I was already here once.
still having my Aaarrggggghhhhh moments with this new site.
So far I'm not a fan - - but will keep trying. I miss the pictures! :mad:
not real sure about this photo stuffQuote:
is that the em club leadville played and the "things go better with pot" t-shirt presented a problem?
Yea, the whole picture thing I haven't a clue how this works, why can't I see the first ones I posted?!
Attachment 104
Okay, I found them. But I'm having problems with the pics, too.
I think I've got it. Now somebody has to start a new Garwood Thread to replace the one we wrecked.
I think the main frustration here is the fact that we can't seem to find a way to post photos [[not attachments) already opened up a la the old thread. This business of clicking on an 'attached images' box and leaving this thread to view the image, then having to come back here seems, in many instances, to defeat the whole "meat and potatoes" of the Garwood blog. There are very creative, intelligent, humorous, caring people involved here who respond and communicate not only with words, but with images also. Hoover NEEDS pictures to communicate! Jumping back and forth, trying to maintain a stream of thought and finding your place when you come back to your text............well, as I said before, it's a detour I wish we could avoid. If anyone out there can provide some clarity on this issue, please "come on down". Remember: there are creative, intelligent, educated, people on this thread. I ain't one of them! If there's a way to do this, please help me. Okay....I'm done.
Stnfrnt, can you see the images above these posts? If not then you will have to change your settings in the user CP at the left on the top of the thread in the blue bar.
Under Edit options check the box listing show images.Then check Show Images.

Hey, Stone, hang in there and play around a little bit. Treat the dialog box like a word processor. As far as images, use attachment, load it, then click attachment again. It should load in the dialog box. Then move it with the enter and space keys.
T tried whut you said..still no pic in the box
Gleeman...
Instead of just clicking on upload and then posting, do this. Once you have uploaded the picture, click on the paperclip, you will get a box that says manage attachments. Clicking on the file will get you this
ATTACH]113[/ATTACH in brackets.
It will then give you a picture
Attachment 113
From the FAQ:
How do I attach a file to a post?
To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'. To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.
On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'. Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments. You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page. Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.
To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file. To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page. Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.
Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window. You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
What files types can I use? How large can attachments be?
In the attachment window you will find a list of the allowed file types and their maximum sizes. Files that are larger than these sizes will be rejected. There may also be an overall quota limit to the number of attachments you can post to the board.
How do I add an image to a post?
If you have uploaded an image as an attachment, you can click the arrow next to the 'Attachment Icon' and select it from the list. This will be inserted into your post and can be located where you want it displayed.
To include an image that is not uploaded as an attachment and is located on another website, you can do so by copying the full URL to the image, [[not the page on which the image is located), and either pressing the 'Insert Image' icon or by typing [img] before the URL and [/img] after it, ensuring that you do not have any spaces before or after the URL of the image. You can insert pictures from your albums [[?) in this way too.
Glee - Make sure you click on the paper clip icon again, then click on the drop down box.
Attachment 152
I feel like I'm cramming for a test or something...
???????????????????????????????
I'm not sure this is going to be fun. There are othere still posting on the old side of this. It's like being in a parallel universe. :mad::mad::confused:
Bentspur, we only have the old forum through Wednesday, might as well get used to the new one.
Attachment 153Attachment 154Attachment 155Attachment 156
I'm kinda diggin' it!
I'm going back to the old one for today. I think we should keep the old one intact untill this starts.
For now, I'll leave any pics up for only a day or two, because we are limited on what we can post and leave on here. Thats going to make some posts look strange. Maybe things will change in the future.
I just went back and deleted my first couple posts on this new thread, I had deleted my pics [[from my "owned" attachments) not knowing that they would then be deleted from the thread. Now thats a bummer. Does that mean that any old pics will have to be deleted? They won't be there forever?
So far it looks that way. Unless you maintain a separate site like photobucket or similar that allows you to host pictures, where you can control them, I don't know what else to say. I'd imagine that it would cost more than a few bucks to maintain enough bandwidth and hard drive space to maintain a graphic intensive thread.
yah, days have moods...Attachment 158
jeez-o-peets... that is a PROCESS...detgrrl thx for helping with the friggn Paperclip
Stosh [[out of the woodwork)...you helped too ! [[ bigB, Stn, you are men ...)
I knew you guys could hang. Gleeman, VERY nice work, dude!
..just for ya'll newbys posting jpegs...that one is like : 8" x 10" @ 103 ppi... got that Ruthie ?
Just testing this out I think Hoover is screwed on this site. I'm going to miss the guy. We might have to take up a colllection and fly someone down there and get things set up for him. I can't go cause I'm on his SH*T LIST.
How the hell do you put a picture from my computer files on here. Do I have to open up a picture hosting site and link from there or what? I know I will get this figured out but it feels like I am starting my internets and Googles all over again. I thought I was a computer genius, Now I'm back to stupid
I'm just testing a few things here so just ignore me.
Here is my BrainAttachment 161
What do you do, add attachment or insert image?
I dont know what I did there. I have to do things 26 times before I really get it. I think I inserted an attachment but had to download it into my personal attachment file first. These first few pages on the new sight are going to look pretty strange at first. Just like the old days when we were all high and just sat and watched what was happening and figured it out the next day
trying again
Attachment 163
Thats me and my Dad
Let's see.Attachment 164
Aha! Thanks Bigb23.
great job guys...it works...here's the Falcons at Rick's in old A2..Attachment 166
glmn-TommyGunn-80's If I can get crafty at this I'll try to link an mp3 Song...:cool:Attachment 169
Stosh thx for all the help.... I can't find the "How to" on how to post an mp3 song...direct please...
Is there any place to get a sandwich over here?
O.G. can you get Whaler on here so I can talk Pistons and I'll buy you a sandwich...
Stn did I ever meet Bentspur
Garwoodians....the quick reply is SO quick its scary...the pictures are WAY better...the bells and whistles CAN be useful, Detgrrl's already Flyin', and Margies gonna hav LOTs o' fun..
I don't know about all you guys but this is going to be a hassle.....big time.....by the time the reunion roll around we may all be back on line.....we may want to just to IM....or....some other easier method till we all get use to this
Don't pimp me Gleeman.
I give up ...at least for today.....can you or can you not put a picture with tex and not have to click on something else to view.......and why are some of the folks I select for "friend" not ableto be loaded and some are....I'v tried to add friend and contact but some folks wont take??????????
You just have to have patience and read everything.
This is trial and error to some degree.
I think the pic thing is not as difficult as you think.
Attachment 175
I don't remember anyone named Gleeman
If the Momkey made it here why can't we make it to
Hey I have friends over at this site. I didn't have friends at the other side. I wonder if Hoover will be my friend
Seems like we need to fix this thread up a little so we feel a little more at home. Maybe get some curtains or something. Change the lighting maybe.Attachment 176
Bentspur I think you graced the halls of the Gar Wood before I was there...so, ...[[and my name really isn't Gleeman, thats just my name that I used in the C.I.A.) Howdy ! [[I've been to S.Dakota, ridden a horse, and have a genyouwine felt cowboy hat, so..there )
Don't worry about Hoover, he's just in the middle of a health problem-too much Florida sun...
O.G. I just wanted to buy the sandwich cuz I know you needed one with the beer
I like the Junior Member thing. It makes me feel younger.
I've been enjoying the Quick Links to see you's online at any time.
I think the Private Messaging is pretty groovy too.
The messaging is handy.
Did I make it ..Gleeman ,Piston playing the Cavs ..Very
Hard...Rockwhit ...Hey..You out there..Hey Man You are the one got this Thread going..Bentspur I bought back 200 Hits of Frisco Pink[[Owleys Best) 1968 ..Hid them in my Dads House..Lost for life.. We went to Detroit Zoo Broke In after they closed..Spent the night in the Zoo..I printed out the whole thread today 2500 pages figure I could sit in the Hammock this summer just like a Novel...Peace..Whaler
Hey Dgrl.......how much valium have you been eating these past two days? Got any left?
Glmn........great photos, man! Too bad I had to go half-way across the country to view them. Had a comment/question about the group shot, but that got lost in the operational proceedure here. This thread is fastly approaching a "point of diminishing returns".
Dgrl.........don't do it!
Say what? I love a challenge.
This new universe sucks so far for me. I want Scotty to beam me back to the old one.
Attachment 184Attachment 184
I have a crew helping me figure how to attach images.
I want SENIOR member status - doesn't that get us a senior discount?
And I figured out how to view the photos - whew - that had me worried for a while.
So - now back to the PARTY!!!! Checks are coming in steadily. Send yours in if you haven't already. And if you haven't made your plane reservations yet, most of the airlines are running great deal right now. Check them out. We still have a couple of rooms left in the hotel block.
And do't forget we are still looking for a few people. Eddie, Fergie, Dancin' Dan and others. How about Petey - the Wayne State girl in one of the Earth Magazine photos?
Attachment 188 keep looking....he has to be somewhere.....someone has that little bit of info that will crack the case of the missing drummer
Good Morning. Its a beautiful Spring day here in Detroit.
Attachment 189
Glad to see you're still with us Hoover.

hi to all who survived the move.
I still cannot use the tools but I'm sure someone will guide me
warm warm warm we are calling you
