What else would you like to see?
I am curious if there is anything else you would like to see added to the site. I can't promise that I can add it. But I can look into every idea and see what I can do. I'll try my hardest to add in everything I possibly can.
One thing I have been thinking about is giving everyone the option to get their own Veterans Resources email address. It would be username@veteransresources.org and you would be able to access it anywhere since it would be web based.

I would like to put a photo in the text of my posts. Currently, it seems the only photos I can post are those that end up being thumbnails at the bottom of the page. How can I/we do that?

I'm with Tom on that. I've been trying to figure out how to do that without success.

Once you upload your picture and make your post. View it. Then open that picture up. Copy the URL and then go back and edit your post and place the image in your post using the IMG tags. If that wasn't clear let me know.

Let me see if I have this right; I should place the URL between the open and close BBCode for IMG /IMG (obviously within brackets). Is that correct? Can I do that from the start or do I have to go thru the process you explained?
OK, testing  Oh cool, it works. Thanks a bunch. Last edited by TinCanMan; 01-25-2008 at 05:09 PM.

Yes it can be done from the start if you have the URL (ie, you didn't need to upload it first ... it was already on the web some where)

I usually upload my images to a hosting site but hadn't considered VRO could do the hosting, at least that's what I think you are saying if I follow your method. Do I have that correct?

The image tags for BBcode are IMG & /IMG both are contained in square brackets. I can't type them out that way now because they will be acted on. You can put quoted materilal between the words quote and /quote. Again , both the opening and closing tag need to be enclosed in square brackets like this: [ ] Just like putting those words between parens only using square brackets.

Look on the toolbar for VRO. See "User CP" "FAQ" "MembersList" etc. Click on UserCP (User Control Panel). Look in the left frame and click on Edit Avatar. There's more but that should get you started.

Please post an avatar portrait photo instead of some patch or whatever. Join us in the "Mug Club". We won't laugh, promise! TCM: Thanks for the explanation. I will have to play around with it to see if I can make it work. You know us old guys have a slight problem with all this technology. Any way, if I get it working, it should enliven and enhance some of the satire I post from time to time.

He will put it up for me....Besides...You will all agree--I`m the best looking one ( male) here..Hee Hee... If not then I can always blame Donnie for sabotaging my photo. RR

Yeah, lotsa things I don't know. I hardly know anything about SMC. I don't do gadgets very well or cellphones, blackberries, PDA's and the like. Know nothing of those little portable music repositories that everyone has plugged into their ear. ...and to tell the truth, precious little about graphics. I'm pretty much PhotoShop illiterate although I can "adjust" someone else's work.

I don`t know any of that stuff either. And I`m to old to learn..Besides , just as I figured out how to use my cellphone it was up dated so I`m having to learn a new one. I`ve had a computer for 12 years and just when I figured out the XP-SP1 the SP2 format came along and I`m lost again. Knewheart said it best..We old timers are a little slow when it comes to this stuff. RiverRat

Speaking of dvd...and now I`m faced with another decision...HD-dvd or Blueray-dvd . By the time I decide it will all change again. Maybe I will pass on it all. Where is my fishing pole ?

With Warner Brothers’ backing, Sony’s Blu-ray high-definition format now has about 70 percent of the DVD market locked up. I believe HD-DVD is now the 21st Century BetaMax. HD-DVD may not exactly be dead, but it is surely damaged goods. Blu-ray titles are outsellinh HD-DVD 2 - 1.
