Default Could Use Some Help Posting Pics + Setting Up My Rennlist Website....

OK I'm getting better at this but the one thing that still puzzles me is how to post multiple pics. I've seen it done. I thought it was because I wasn't a member but I am now and no magical solution happened.

Thanks!

Jim:

As a member, you have 200MB of web space provided by Rennlist. Go to the Rennlist home page and follow the "members" links.

Finding a location to upload files is the hardest part....but being a Rennlist member makes it easy.

Default photo help

When replying to a post or creating a new one that you want to add pics to: once you have the reply page open click on the upload photo link in the upper right hand corner. This will open another window for the purpose of uploading photos, Follow the simple steps of the upload process and once completed COPY the link provided. Then on your reply page click on the link button that has IMG right above the dialog box. Paste the url in the box provided, and click ok. Then for additional Photos go back to your other window and upload another pic, copy url, click IMG paste url, click ok, repeat as needed.

If you want to load one picture at a time, click the reply then go to the lower left where it says "attach file". Click browse and select the picture on your computer.

Thanks to so many Rennlister's that have replied to me via email. It's great how many good people are on the board that actually take time to help others out. THANKS a million.



Once again I appreciate all the replies.

Thanks from me as well. Now, if I could only learn how to create my Rennlist member webpage for photos and info on my Shark (and perhaps a couple of shots of my old Bimmers too)? Thanks to those who've offered suggestions in the past but I'm still lost. Do I create my page "off-line" say in Microsoft Frontpage (HTML editor) and then upload it via help from Randy V or other Rennlist staffer? Don't mean to hijack this thread...just thought my question might help other Members here as well who are "in the dark" as to how to make use of their 200mb of Webspace.
Cheers,
Tim / TUK

Thanks Jim...maybe we'll get some help now

By the way Jim....GORGEOUS '91 GT...love the WHITE exterior and the wheels (what kind are they?)! Now folks...look at those photos of Jim's GT and tell me...who can rightfully say a WHITE 928 isn't attractive!?

Here's the Member web page setup portal guys:

http://members.rennlist.org/

I use my webspace just for staging files, such as images. Perhaps others here who have more elegant Rennlist sites - such as Las Vegas Tony and others - can provide you with pointers on how to get it set up as a true website.

TUK,

17" Antera's Type 121. Thanks for the complements. the wheels were on the car when I bought it. I was glad to find the Porsche center caps will fit. They are getting ordered tomorrow.

Randy V,
Thanks for the link to the member portal and the tip on the webpage...will consult with the pros here once I get my act together with web-authoring software, etc.

Jim,
I haven't seen the Antera 121 wheels on a 928 before...glad the Porsche center caps will fit

Creat your main page with your web software. You probably saved it as a HTML file.
You need to upload this file to the rennlist web server.

Once its uploaded you need to go back and rename the file to "INDEX".

example. Your main page was saved and uploaded as a html file named
"mymainpage".

you select "mymainpage" and then select "rename" and type in the word "INDEX" in the open window. When done, the file "mymainpage" will have disappeard...the file name INDEX will have taken its place. Now if you click on "INDEX" it should display your original html fle you created and saved as "mymainpage"



If you have pictures on your page that you created, they have to be uploaded to the site as well.


I know that probbaly doesnmake a whole lotta sense, but that was the biggest thing i couldnt figure out...the main page had to be renamed INDEX.

I dunno it all worked for me...easier done than explained now. Once youve done it, its easy! I just wish i could upload more than 5 files at a time.


The RENNLIST member ship is worth it! I create little pages with direct links i can send to freinds and family that display pics of the kids etc etc. Unless i email the link directly..you cant see them. Every now and then i go through and clean all those old links and assoc. pics out. as they just take up space.

So far Im at....

I hope my car doesnt give the volume of trouble to fill that "available space"!!
