Hello from So Cal

Subject: Hello from So Cal Tue Nov 15, 2011 10:35 pm

I am adopting a female Husky called Kayak..she was dumped in the desert at 4 months old, and was rescued by a lady who already has several dogs . Now Kayak is 8 months old and the lady wished to find Kayak a new home...this is where I stepped in...I pick her up the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
I have some pics, but when I create a new post, there is no toolbar for me to select photos, no picture with floppy disc. I am using Win XP and IE 8...so what do I do?

Mike

...so after I post, the toolbar shows up..I select a photo, but I have no idea where it went to!

Mike- Select the photo using the "Host an Image" icon.
Then Resize the image to 640 px.
Then copy the resulting letters and numbers in the middle box.
Paste them where you want them in your post.
You won't be able to see a photo yet.
Hit Preview and the photo should be now visible in your post.
Hope this helps.

Ok...lets see if this works...

I guess not, um...

When I post a reply, the toolbar disappears, so I have no way of uploading a pic.

Mike: First you have to be in the Post an Image box, after the last post.
The Host an Image icon looks like two squares overlapping each other.
When you have selected your image and resized it, copy the text in the Image box.
Then paste that in the Post a Reply box.
It won't look like a picture, just a bunch of letters, until you hit preview,

Ok...I think I've got it...just seems to me that the process is all back to front...I am on other dog forums (whippet), and have posted a number of pics...type text, add attachment, hey presto, done.

...all that aside, let me introduce Kayak

Great looking dog, Mike.
What a terrific place for her to run.
Love the height of that fence!
Thank you for rescuing.

I live in California City, near Mojave/Lancaster, in the high desert. There is a very active dry land mushing group in Lancaster, which run most weekends in the winter. I will be training Kayak to be a sled dog in the coming months.

Welcome! thanks for adopting!!! most of us use photobucket to post pics. you can just copy and past the code from photobucket right into the thread and not do all that up loading stuff. dry land mushing sounds fun! cant wait to hear how it goes
