This is from Craigslist and it looks nice. I would like to have it but no where to put it. :cry:

This looks excellent...
Would love to know more about how it was made.
$75 sounds really cheap - I bet Rodger would want it. :)

Will look good in my hallway when it is delivered. :-)

Seller also has a lightly used 2000 M26X for sale. PM me off-board for seller's details if seriously interested (I'm not selling or recommending or receiving any $$ - just willing to refer).

You got it? Congratulations!!! 8) 8) 8)

If I had a hallway, I would have gotten it.

You will probably have to rename it. :? :? :?

Not sure how big the bottles are in those brown paper bags !!

Looking forward to the renaming ceremony but I'm not sure if Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh can get here to break the champagne bottle on the hull. I'm thinking maybe Barbie and Ken can do it instead. :D

The CraigsList ad has been removed. We would love to see photos of this.

Posting Pictures

Post by Hamin' X »

Pictures must be placed on a public server such as PhotoBucket. The instructions that follow are for photobucket, but other image hosting sites will be similar and this is not an endorsment of photobucket.

Go to your photobucket account.
Hover your mouse pointer over the picture that you want.
Several options will appear.
Go down to the IMG code and left click in the code box to the right.
Left click in the code box and select copy.

Now, while composing your post on this forum, right click at the place that you want the pic to appear and select paste. It will look like this:

Code: Select all

Here is a picture that I took in the San Juan Islands:

[img]http://i496.photobucket.com/albums/rr321/Hamin-X/Gato128.jpg[/img]

Cool, huh?
It will appear on the forum like this:

Cool, huh?

The forum software will automatically re-size the pic for easy viewing and when a member left clicks on it, the original size will be viewable. The board does not actually download, or store the pic, it just uses the code to make your browser do the work. Repeat for up to three pics/post. It is best to use the "Preview" option, to make sure that everything is OK, before you submit the post. There is a three picture limit/post, to help protect those that still have slow internet (me when out & about).

Flickr is a little more difficult.
  • Left click on the pic that you want to post.
    Above the pic, left click on "All Sizes".
    Left click on the size that you want to post. Large works best.
    Right click on the pic.
    Left click on "Properties". A window will open.
    Beside Address (URL), is the url that you will post. Copy all lines of it.
    I triple click on it and it highlights all of it.
    Copy and paste this between the [Img] tags in your post.
Enjoy,

~Rich
