1. The Marketplace Forums can be useful for members who know one another well from forum discussions and offline communications and wish to post boatbuilding tools, drafting tools, molds and tooling, and other professional equipment for sale or trade. However, caution and good judgement should always be used. Especially when considering any business with anyone not already well known to you and trusted, due diligence must be used to confirm details and identity and be sure the transaction is safe before any money or property changes hands. Always use good judgement and perform due dilligence and follow these guidelines.

    are you on a mac or a pc frosty

    first thing is to click the "go advanced" option and use that page to load an image
    probably does not mater if your on a mac or a pc but
    either way what I do is to host my images on photobucket and then cut and paste the direct link into the text box that pops up when you hit insert image option

    [​IMG]

    if the image is off the net then and you are on a mac its really easy

    just place the curse over the image and press the control key and click once on the mouse
    a window pops up with some options
    copy image location and paste that into the text box that pops up when you hit the insert image option

    I knew this would happen --i dont understand the jargon. I got a lap top thing errrr presario 2200 I think I might have fckd it up down loading a flight sim.

    Its 5 years old. Its not picys off the net they are on file. So I go advanced hit managment, browse hit unused desk top **** and look for the photo, click open then down load , then I sit and look at if for ages maybe 1/2 hour.

    hang on I got an idea.

    same thing happened to me when Diego was nice enough to try and help with the text box issue on my web site

    Im sure what he did works but I was not able to load it into the site because I just dont get the lingo well enough to know follow what to do

    Im not sure you can load from a desk top
    I never tried it
    maybe thats the problem
    try placing the photos in a site called photobucket
    they host pictures for free and they do take them off your desk top or even off of a pictures program like what you get when you have a digital camera like mine

    anyway it works for me

    try stealing a pict off the net and seeing it that works

    find a pict you want to load and place the curser ( little arrow thingy controlled by the mouse ) ( mouse, not the one in your pocket but the one in your hand, ok not that one but the little white thing that controls the arrow on the screen ) over the picture
    find the control key on the key board and put your nose on it
    then without moving click the mouse
    you should see a window pop up full of options
    image location is the one you want
    cut and paste that into the insert images area of the go advanced window

    does that clear up anything or am I just talking gibberish again

    One more. This is her backing in, surface props pulling hard.

    I had to reduce the pic down a bit from 4megygigybits, I think I did it too much.

    So what design is she?

    I can't see the drives, I thought they'd be more visible!

    She is Australian,- Sea wind power catamaran, ventura range. The 44's all went to America except this one which I bought off the factory in Belambi 100miles south of Sydney--Woolongong.

    The drives? well they should be there under the water.
