2nd Annual Women's GTG

Debbie - man you were fast with that delete button..lol

I already sent it to you from photobucket

On its way Debbie....

And Glen, I'm adding it as my avatar so I don't have to "send picture of boat".

And yes I know, its not the boat that catches the fish...

My boat is just a little ol' fishing boat - nothing fancy.

14ft '60 Crestliner, '63 18hp johnson and barely a fish locator.

[Debbie K]

Patti - as soon as I saw your edited post, I deleted the one with my email. Still waiting for it to come across.

[Lisa Almquist]

If you gals have more issues, I can help too!

[Patti]

Thanks Lisa

Debbie -not sure how long it will take to come from photobucket - may want to check your junk/spam mail.

[FishNovice101]

Debbie,

Maybe that's why I don't catch any fish - my screen name...

Real name: Char

[Patti]

Debbie?? You there? If you got it, you don't have to spend all night on it...

[Iambjm]

Wow I am away from the computer for one day and there are 41 posts!!!

[Debbie K]

Hopefully, Patti will have a her new avatar uploaded today!!.

[Patti]

Thank you so much Debbie!! I can't access my [email protected] from here at work but I can access photobucket. Was it the size of it? or the link I was using?

[Debbie K]

I don't know what it was, but I opened in Photoshop and saved as a GIF. Can you accept emails at work??

[Debbie K]

Got it - Thanks

[Patti]

And I got it - I will hopefully figure out how to download it to photobucket and then in to my avatar sometime this morning. I AM at work you know...lol

[Debbie K]

Yeah - me too.

1) You need to sign up with a photo hosting site like Flickr or photobucket.

2) Once you chose a picture as your avatar, you can copy that picture to the desktop of your computer.

3) You go into Photobucket and select download pictures. You can browse from there to locate your picture

on your computer. I choose browse desktop and and then I open that picture to download it onto Photo-

bucket. Press download.

4) It should now show up in your album.

5) I chose the direct link option. Click on that address. It is copied then.

6) Then you go back to FM.com and choose My Stuff at the top of the forums.

7) Chose Profile.

8) Scroll down to the bottom of your profile and click the circle that says, URL to your avatar.

9) Right click to paste the address to your new avatar picture.

10) Click submit. You should be good to go!

That's how I do my avatars. Works well for me!

I am totally exhausted today after working the fish fry yesterday for Let' Go Fishing With Seniors. We sold and served over 500 dinners, had a ball being a co-emcee for the event and the drawings. Now I am really stoked to go fishing, and the ice just went out of our lake yesterday. I pray June will get here real fast. Paul from Appeldoorn's (the sweetheart that he is) donated a New Years Weekend 6 hole deluxe ice shack for our silent auction. Sad to say we received no bids on it. So it will be offered at our fall Fish Fry in October, and if no one bids again I am buying it. This shows me how top notch Appeldoorn's is, and they will be getting a lot of my business come next hardwater season.

[Debbie K]

WOW - those are some hungry seniors. Sounds like you had a lot of fun. And June will be here before you know it.

[Patti]

Thanks Lisa...I have used photobucket for pics in postings but never for the avatar. I was doing everything you mentioned including checking "URL to your avatar" and cutting/pasting in the link.

Right now photobucket is taking forever to download it from a workfolder so it can be assigned a URL.

[Lisa Almquist]

Photobucket was very pokey yesterday too!

[Patti]

I give up for now!!

I've tried adding the new own - its 147 x 110

I have tried pasting both the IMG CODE and the IMG

thumb into the avatar link box and made sure it was

"check marked" and I still get the same message.

[Debbie K]

Patti - I'll send you email on what I did. Have no fear - we'll get you through this!!

Okay - check your email!!

[Debbie K]

YEAH FOR YOU!!!!!!! It worked. Nice boat by the way.

[Patti]

TA DAAAAAAAAA!!

Thank you Debbie!!

On my photobucket page it only gave me 2 options to choose

from and "direct link" wasn't one of them so I'd click on share

and it would bring up another screen that would have a "get

link code" tab and that had 7 to choose from. I thought I had

tried all 7 but maybe that was last night when it was still the

wrong size?

Patti

[Lisa Almquist]

Yay Patti and Debbie-you did it!! Nice boat Patti!

Barb, it's good you had a terrific turnout. I'm surprised that the Appeldoorn's weekend didn't go!

[UdeLakeTom]

There ya go Glenn...Does that boat fit the right discreption???

oh oh i think we are goingto see a boat picture. just remember its not the boat that catches the fish!

Hey ULT! You makin' fun of my boat!! Do I have to remind you of the above saying??

No - seriously - I think its great for a first boat and it has a lot of memories - its the first boat I ever fished out of as a kid. Grandpa bought it brand new in '60 and its in great condition - just not big enough for Mille Lacs
