I just *love* this picture and wanted to post it in case you all haven't seen it.

This is the first time I've ever tried to post an image so please be gentle with me :)

EDIT: Darn, my first try showed up as a URL and not an image, and in the second try I couldn't get the image to show up on my screen, so I pasted in the URL above. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. (I did check the FAQ.)

1. here ya go.

Do you have a photobucket account? It's pretty easy to post photos if you do.

[wildflower]

2. Thank you! Do you love it as much as I do?

I don't have a photobucket account, but I thought you could just paste in the URL (or the URL with .jpg on the end) from any site with a pic.

So I did a right-click to show properties on the pic, and then I pasted in that URL here. (I also tried it with .jpg but it didn't work.)

Thanks again.

3. It's their system

It's the kind of database or web coding system that they're using. Once in a while that happens and I don't see anything that you did wrong. Usually, if it doesn't have .jpg or .gif at the end, it won't show up.

5. Thanks, sandnsea

I never post pictures so I feel like a real :dunce: in that dept.

4. I do.

Very thoughtful. Very 'John'. Thanks for posting.

You should get a (free) photobucket account. I use it all the time.

6. Yes, it kind of reminds me of the painting...

in LittleClarkie's sig, just 30 years or so later.

I hope you all don't mind my barging in here with this; I know I haven't posted here much in the last few months, but I still visit a lot.

7. Wow it does look like that painting.

I just went back and looked at LittleClarkie's sig and you are so right! He really has kept many of the same mannerisms throughout his lifetime. I've seen other examples of this as well. Thanks for posting the photo!

11. This is the photo....

[LittleClarkie]

12. You mean this one

:D

[wildflower]

15. That's it! I've always enjoy seeing your posts so I can gaze at it. :)

14. Hey it does!

Amazing how after all these years he still has the same poses. Some things never change. :) He always looks hot.

8. ok but be careful...

we in this group learned about the hazards of hotlinking in a picture thread last Thursday night! If you just paste a URL from someone else's site, you use their bandwidth when someone clicks on it or refreshes. So I'd say to be safe, put it into your own photobucket account, and then from there to here. The problem was that porn was being substituted for the pics! Some people don't like it when you paste their URLs.

9. True!

Though hotlinking only occurs if you paste the URL for the pic into a thing that says "img src" so that their pic displays here. If all you're doing is providing the URL here, and people have to click on it to get to the pic, it's not hotlinking and no one should mind.

[ginnyinWI]

10. yeah that's what I meant to say--

that the links are okay, but not the pics. Thanks for correcting me!

[LittleClarkie]

13. I know my friend didn't

like it.

He just substituted a gif that said "I steal bandwidth" for the picture that was being hotlinked.

Some places I go don't mind. A Madonna site I've see encourages hotlinking.

16. Wow, I must have missed whta happened Thursday night!

As for hotlinking, okay...uh... *sound of me running to look it up*

:dunce:

17. here's the pic thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=273&topic_id=35528&mesg_id=35528

It was my thread, and Whometense put some pics on, but they came out as pornography. Luckily we got her back there in time to delete them.

[wildflower]

18. Wow, a pornographic parrot!?

I'm not even sure what that would look like, LOL. Yikes!

I think I understand about hotlinking now, thanks!

One of my all-time favorites is one of the pics with Kerry and the children behind the glass. Last year someone once put it up against a similar one of John F. Kennedy. The two pics together just bespoke so much hope.
