Thanks everyone. I will try that again. When I was doing that before (copying the IMG link) it was posting a live link to the photo once I previewed my post. Mine have on either side of it when I copy the link... is this supposed to be there? Or should I delete that and just keep the part of the link that is between the

Every time I try to post a picture it only posts the link rather then the actual photo. Can someone help direct me how to make it so that the photo is actually showing and not the link to the photo on an external site? I have the photos posted on Photobucket and what I have been doing is taking thier link for posting in forums and inserting it like so: [image ] LINK [ /image] without the spaces. This is how I was directed to post by other users. Doing this though still only ends up showing the link itself and not the actual photo when I preview it. Any additional advice is appreciated! Thanks, Ashley (Ryan's other half)

Wow, what a thread. Everything I have read so far on this board had me believing that I was becoming a member of this warm heartfelt/lend a hand community and here you are bashing each other for your beliefs and opinions. I have never had a good discussion with anyone regarding politics if their views weren't the same as mine. It seems when politics is the discussion that agreeing to disagree while still respecting the other person is not a possibility as proven by this thread. I will take a different approach....... YOU ARE ALL RIGHT. Yeah, I know a crazy thought, how can all your differentiating opinions all be correct? Because they are opinions is the answer... you can't tell someone that their feelings aren't correct. The mayor of "my city" has done some really good things while elected. He has exaggerated the savings he brought the taxpayers but the bottom line is there was still some savings overall... I will put that in the plus column. He has also made some extremely poor choices (not unlike many other politicians out there, and no, this is not a get out of jail free quote). It is probably smart for him to get help and to step aside and come back with a vengeance. At the end of the day even his own admissions are only hearsay, they aren't valued in a court of law, but they can be valuable in your own decision. I repeat YOUR OWN DECISION, not the decision that you are entitled to press upon other people, not the decision that you can ridicule someone for their opposing beliefs. For those of you that feel that using big words (since you're talking about politics) somehow makes you wiser, especially when you typically never speak that way in your other posts really isn't fooling anyone. If your goal was to make your point more relevant I think you have failed, if your goal was to make yourself feel superior and put others down you may have succeeded. For those of you that commented on what your children will think about the Santa Clause parade and how you will have to explain that the mayor is a crack head. If it is your position to make that parade about crack head mayors then that's exactly what it will be about. If your decision is to celebrate Christmas with your children during the parade, and not make the Mayor a focal point, then that's exactly what it will be about. I know that Rob Ford is no friend of mine, I do not hang around with him, however I would like to get to know a lot of the members on this board and hopefully build some long lasting friendships with people that enjoy the greater things in life (mainly fishing).However, the people I want to associate myself with are not the ones who ridicule others, as far as I am concerned Mayor Ford can seek help and may be a great guy one day, but for those of you that point fingers and feel that your opinions are the only true or correct opinions out there will have a much longer road to recovery than him and you are definitely not the type of person anyone wants to associate with. Although I was not here when the mayor was voted in I do believe at that time I would have voted for him, his actions are not a reflection of me as a person, however the words written here are. Please keep this in mind I leave you all with this to really think for a moment. Take a look at yourselves. This community built around fishing is a beautiful thing. The knowledge and wisdom that is available here is incredible. We are all individuals, entitled to our own opinions. Lets leave it at that, no more slander, no more talking down to each other. If you want to post an opinion do so. All I ask is that you post your opinion, we will understand if it differs from others beliefs from what you write, therefore the need to cut them down is irrelevant. I respect all of your opinions, please respect mine!!!!! Sincerely, A new member to this forum - RyanSmith

Thats great! So glad they rescued that moose and even happier you had the pics to share! Thanks

thank for the input friends! This does sound pretty confusing though, but Im sure I will fins a way to make it work, I might not be able to post it as quickly as I would like if I have to trouble shoot.Just so you know Mr. Borger, many of your reports are the inspiration that pushed me to sign up and create some of my own from past experiences. Cheers, Ryan

Hey everyone! I just finished writing a rather lengthy fishing report on sturgeon fishing in the Fraser River B.C. So far it is just in a word document. I would like to add some videos and pictures to it if possible but before I try this weekend I wanted to ask if there is anything special I have to do to post them.For example when i want to insert a picture so i copy and paste it onto where im typing or do I attach a file form the option at the bottom of my text box here? any help is appreciated!!!!! Cheers, Ryan

Thank you all for the very warm welcome! Just getting the B.C. and fly-in pics together for some trip reports... I will keep that in mind Mike P it sounds like a good idea.

welcome, I also just joined today. definitely a lot to learn in this forum from what I've read so far, welcome!!!!!

Hello OFC members, my name is Ryan Smith and I would just like to introduce myself and my wonderful partner to this awesome community I have stumbled upon. I can't thank you all enough for all the posts in this forum from the techniques to the trip reports (my favorite), I enjoy them all.SO much so that while I was waiting for validation I read almost every post back to May, lol (it took a few weeks to be validated). My aim is to be a contributing member of this forum, learn a tonne from the wealth of knowledge here, as well as hopefully meet some good outdoor/fishing buddies or couples. I am 29 years old living with my g/f (Ashley) who is 28 in the busy city of Toronto.... we love sports and the outdoors and have recently been bitten by the fishing and outdoors/camping/hunting bug. As far as fishing is concerned because we are new to Toronto we don't get out enough (no boat, not sure where to go from shore) except for near the mouth of the humber river but have been skunked twice during the summer. We have been on one fly in trip (i have been on 2), and sturgeon fishing in b.c. (trip reports will come in the next couple of weeks). However I grew up near the wonderful Lake St. Clair and return to visit my family there a few times a year and make sure I get out for some fishing on my fathers boat at least a couple times a trip. Love LSC. Before I ramble on to much farther, thanks again for all your posts and the people that run this site I really an truly appreciate you all!! Best, Ryan and Ashley (pairofgreenhorns)
