Here's Sophie

I'm so happy for you AND Sophie!!!

She looks like she is quite satisfied with the choice she made in a new home LOL...but seriously, thanks for adopting an older dog...she looks like a sweetheart !

Congrats, we have to next door to us this winter, they are such lovely dogs.
They are a Mother (4) and son (2) and they are snowbirding for the first time this winter and they have taken to it very well.
We adopted a 12 year old Poodle a year and a half ago, I had no idea how he would RV either, well he took to it like a duck to water, either that or in his past life he was lucky enough to be a camper...we really lucked out!

It sure looks like Sophie has, indeed, moved in and made herself quite at home. :B What a great holiday season for all of you. Congrats!

What a beauty! Just like a weim to claim the best seat in the house, although you may also find her enjoying your lap. Our weim was the best dog ever to have shared our life with. Enjoy her company and thank you for saving her.

Thanks for taking the time to explain Tom. I will try to follow your suggestions on my next photo post.

Bionic Man,

I did some additional investigation (and recalling how Photobucket does things

As your are familiar with, Photobucket gives you four choices



Instead of using the forum's Link tool, I think you copied Photobuckets IMG URL, the fourth choice in the above picture. That produces the effect that your got, clicking on the picture will open a page in Photobucket and the URL you see as you compose your post is very "messy" and hard to know what is what.

Instead, use the Direct URL, the second choice in the above picture. Open the message window's Image tool by clicking on this icon in the toolbar. This window will open



Paste your picture's URL in the top field. If it is a large picture put 640 in the Width field (that's recommended, but you can go up to 800 without violating forum rules.) Leave the Height field empty It is never correct to put values in both fields. Use the width field and the display engine will adjust the height to keep the picture in proportion.

Then click on the Finished button. The window will disappeared and a correctly formatted URL will appear in your composition.

Alternately, many of us that post a lot of pictures, type the format tags ourselves

So I would copy the Direct URL, in the message window, I would type the IMG tag, which looks like this: (upper and lower case letters are treated the same)

&#91img]

then I would paste by URL

&#91img&#93http://i.imgur.com/DeyVjav.jpg

If the picture is too large, I would type a space and width=640

&#91img&#93http://i.imgur.com/DeyVjav.jpg width=640

Finally, I would type the closing tag, which is [/img], to get

&#91img&#93http://i.imgur.com/DeyVjav.jpg width=640[/img]

When I make the post, this picture would be displayed.



Again, I used a "trick to display the tags you can see in my post. Without the trick, my post could not be made. If this post is quoted, the trick will be negated and one would get a format error, if one tried to post it.

Posting pictures on the forum is not hard, but it does require learning the correct technique.

Tom

And a senior dog too.

If only all dogs were so lucky as your Sophie.

Tom, I appreciate your advice, but I should have left well enough alone. I tried editing as you suggested, and kept getting error messages.

And in doing so, I lost the changes the moderator had made to scale down the photo. Hopefully they can go back in and do it again.

I don't normally consider myself someone who is technologically ignorant, but the format of this forum can be challenging on photos.

Congratulations to you and Sophie!!

Adopting a senior is such a wonderful thing to do.

BTW, if you would edit your post and insert a space and then width=800 between the .jpeg and the closing ing tag, the picture would be more suitable for the forum.

Also you have used the forum's link tool, instead of the image tool . That's a useful technique when you want to link to a bigger picture or another page. As it is now, if anyone clicks on your picture, they are taken to your photo bucket page.

On the other hand if you had only the image's URL like this

&#91IMG&#93http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n494/rmbretz/image_zpskpw5hplx.jpeg width=640[/IMG]

You would display a smaller picture



and clicking on it will not open your photobucket page.

Note: I used a "trick" to display the image url. Quoting or copying this page will negate the "trick" Also, I used a width of 640, because of the height of the picture.

Tom
