Re: Testing...Please Ignor this Post
I know this question gets asked a lot but we do have it posted on how to use our forum gallery. Thanks Bob for posting this earlier
Perhaps:

Or:
The GetDPI Photography Forums - BB Code List
I also found this thread as well

Guy, I noticed the quality of the file from the 1st of the two shots of that you posted (above) is far superior to the 2nd...:grin:
Seriously, as I briefly explained earlier in this thread, I was most focused on attempting to post images from a couple of hosting sites that I use where privacy/security concerns for images are addressed for my needs. Unfortunately after working for the longest time in trying to find ways to capture the neessary "BB" or whateever else I might need, in order be able to then post an image (from them) onto here in Getdpi, was becomeing an exercies in fustration.
After attempting to do this from those sites on and off for maybe close to a year and coming to the conclusion it wasn't possible (guess that's where their security part comes in), I finally decided to simply and quickly set up a Flickr acc't for only getdpi posted images. I figured once I worked that out by getting through some glitches (using IE browser was one of them), with the wonderful assistance provided by many others here, I would eventually go back when time permitted and re-read those links you provided. This would eventually provide a better route for posting and at the same time establish a gallery. All in due time, as they say but look forward to it.
You didn't spell it out but I guess I have some idea why you mentioned you would't set up a Flickr acc't. If it's the same reasons why I hesitated, I can then understand.
Oh one question: You posted two images above, one approx 3000 pixel's wide and one 1200 pixels wide, which obviously got posted with the same dimensions for the reasons you outlined. When I attemted as a similar test, a Flickr posted image (refer to post #66 in this thread), my two test images got posted in somewhat different widths. It appeared my 1200 pixel wide image was smaller than the width of the Getdpi webpage, whereas my approx 2400 pixel wide image, posted much like yours (full width). One of the many little mysteries I still can't quite figure out and maybe has something to do with flickr itself and how it handles files.
Another possible solution to all this is for me to upload full rez images to your laptop 24 hr/day 365 days, and have you adjust, crop and resize as per my personal phone conversations/instructions to you, at all hrs of the day and night. Isn't that one of the perks of being a Getdpi member? :ROTFL: OK, Ok, nuff said
Thanks for your suggestions and input!
