    Decide on size of picture.

    I read your replies to my other post on uploading pictures to flickr. I'll thing about them.


    Here is another way of getting the full size icons.

    (now this image appears expanded. It didn't start that way. )

    Just showing what you can do with by double clicking.

    click twice on the uploaded icon image. You will get this.




    Here is what you get:

    A little more playing here.

    Now you notice I get a smaller version of the image.

    I'm getting carried away here. Will have to think tomorrow.

    Thanks for getting involved here and helping Robert!

    It's going to help everyone get information posted!

    You'll find that most every option is available and turned on in this forum... it was always a place to put our stuff! Now your helping us show are stuff, instead of just an attachement.

    FYI when you size a picture 900 pixels wide is optimum maximum. Length does not matter. Sometimes all you need is 600. When I put up wiring diagrams the origanal is much bigger so it prints well! But will only show 900 pixels wide in posts.

    The process of uploading an image to the gearhead-efi server seems overly complicated and error prone to me. It's not acting as I'd have guess which confused me. It's not like other sites.

    After I write a post, I post the post then review what I have written. I'd expect to see what everyone else sees. I was surprised to find this isn't always the case.

    The editor is an implementation of a wysiwyg -- what you see is what you get -- editor. This isn't the case when you upload an image to the gearhead-efi server. I'd assume some configuration parameters need tweeting.

    I could look over the documentation to get some idea of what might be possible if you like. If you like, what software is being used & a good link?

    I've programmed in assembly language before. They are all very machine specific by definition. Have no experience with the 68xxx. Always, the hardware environment makes a big difference. I could try to answer general questions.

    Sure! Here's a link to the manual.
    https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/

    I do have things set wide open/all options and I had thought about scaling the image attachment option back to where most other forums are set?

    You can change WYSIWYG editor to standrd or formatting or? in your user control panel if you don't like it. Like I said I left more things on then most sites do...

    I changed the attachment dialog to a lessor setting, like most other forums. Try it and see if you like it, and anyone else for that matter. It is easier! Still can not add attachment from quick reply, have to go advanced.

    Did you think the change in way to upload picture is easier?

    I didn't know guests could not see pictures, but you do have to be registered to download anything... if not all the search engine bots would clog our server trying to get everything... we are a heavly loaded site with lots of files and such. But that is the purpose as well.

    I'm going to have to read the vBulletin documentation to get a better handle on the options. It's going to take me awhile because of the vastness. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

    I've already forgot how uploading images used to go. I've pushed the details aside because they wouldn't be useful for me. The last upload process seemed to go ok.


    I'd hold off doing too many experiments. I created a web site on Google webs where anyone with a google id could edit! It was buried deep and cryptically in the documentation that this was the default. Too boot, I didn't have the right kind of administrator id to see the option nor change the option! I was surprised when another person reported she could edit the site and made herself an administrator. Backing up and restoring to a new name somehow seemed to have fixed the problem. I believe & hope.

    Perhaps a robots.txt would be of some help in scaring off robots.

    You need to put the robots.txt file in the root folder of your website.
    www.example.com/robots.txt

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots_exclusion_standard


    The next is an example that tells all crawlers not to enter four directories of a website. File robots.txt:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /cgi-bin/
    Disallow: /images/
    Disallow: /tmp/
    Disallow: /private/




    I don't know where you store your picture files, but maybe you could put them all in a directory & disallow this directory.

    I know how to use htaccess files. I want search bots to find them, just not download them constantly... hence the reason you need to be a registered user to download

    I'm having a problem displaying my uploaded pictures from my computer path directly to gearhead-efi.

    here is what I see from historystamp.



    here is what I see from a new account I created mysidecick.

    You will notice that I am getting an error. Notice the ? icon instead of the six icons.

    If I remember correctly the file htaccess is an apache file/folder access file. I'll have read the doc to get a more detailed memory about what it was all about.

    I'm proposing
    1) yet another access file called robots.txt

    2) prevent robots & 'bots from uploading pictures. < Assuming the follow what is in robots.txt >

    3) You would be able to let everyone else have access to the pictures files.

    Thus gearhead-efi folks could see pictures could see pictures yet 'bots wouldn't be uploading pictures.

    Gearhead-efi usage would improve.

    I've never administrated a web server.

    Is the constraint too much data is being download at the same time? -- a bottleneck

    Are you exceeding your monthly quota for the total data download per month?

    The pictures below were not uploaded here, they are at farm8.staticflickr.com. That will cause whatever problem the remote site causes. I have no control over that. And there are thousands of them. Actually it has been on my list of things to do and block them from ever being posted in the first place. My next post will explain why.
