It's possible by uploading the picture via an image host (i.e. Imageshack, Photobucket). Then copy and past the link to here and put it in image tags.

is it possible to put pictures from your computer into your messages when commenting on someones profile cause you know how on some threads it has the option of managing attachments, but on the profile ones it doesn't?

[RBS]

I have always done the former method in your answer. Have to practice on the latter.

Thanks Crimson

It depends on how you include the picture. If a picture is attached to your message (i.e. uploaded from your computer), it will show as a thumbnail. If you embed the picture with [img][/img] tags, it will show original size.

[RBS]

thumbnails optional?

Question about managing attachments. Since all the new bells and whistles arrived in GHtown my posted pictures default to thumbnails. However I see new pics posted that are just like they always were...fullsize. Where is that magic button?

[Adventure]

Yep, they're not real people just bots.

Here are some articles about it.

Example

Here is a small snapshot. I see Becky there playing in the game contest. Are you saying those Slurp Spiders (viewing user profiles) are not real people?

[Adventure]

I am not sure if I understand your question correctly, but those are just bots who gather information for the search engines google and yahoo.
If you mean how the software of this site recognize them as bots, probably because the host of the IP they use share this info. In example lj513391.crawl.yahoo.net

How did the terms Google Spider and Yahoo! Slurp Spider originate? When viewing Whos Online I see those quite a bit mingled with Guests.

Thanks Becky. My old reliable sites have all changed so much (most want $$) I knew I could count on GH for fresh ideas.

I know of two good e-cards sites.

Need a nice Birthday Card

Does anyone know of any good Birthday Card sites, preferably with horses?

Thanks. I'll try to download some sites, anyway.

[Adventure]

Wow, never know this was possible. I googled a bit around and read the wiki article about it. It's interesting. I wonder how long it would take the web crawler to download everything. Thanks for this info, Damar.

Thanks for the help in answering, Adventure and Damar!
