I was looking over my statement, "I have no interest in someone being able to pinpoint the exact spot where I took the photo.", and realized that it might have sounded rude to the posters here at the GP. It was nothing personal or aimed at anyone. I realize that the photos posted here at GW, can be used by google in their image search engine, therefore they can be seen by millions of people.

Posting pictures vs. posting links: USE PHOTOBUCKET, seems to work easier than IMAGESHACK [at least I think it does] Assuming you've already created an account with Photobucket: 1.In Photobucket's site, select the 'My Album' option. 2.Find and Upload an image using the 'Browse' button. When you locate the file [aka the photo you want to use] left-click to 'highlight' it's name and select the 'Open' button. The name of the file will appear next to the 'Browse' button. Select the 'Submit' button below. 3.A new window should open in Photobucket ['Current album' window] and you should see the uploaded image [you may have to scroll down a bit] ********** HERE'S THE CRUCIAL STEP --- to make sure your image will appear 'active' in your Garden Web post versus a link: BE SURE TO CHOSE THE FILE FROM THE 'TAG' SECTION/WINDOW. ********** 4.Right-click and 'copy' the file name from the middle 'TAG' window. 5.Go to Garden Web message board, right-click and 'paste' the file name directly into the "Message:" section. This can be done when creating a new message or adding a 'photo' reply ;-) 6.Select 'Preview Message' button to make sure the image shows up. It should. Cross your Crassulas...

A couple of the links showed in preview, but the page couldn't be located. I think all the basics are covered by the above links. This post was edited by mama_goose on Thu, May 16, 13 at 17:08

I have a comment that was posted Thursday the 3rd at 1:36PM. It is now Tuesday the 8th, 1:15 AM. Four and a half days and I can still edit (or delete) that one. Maybe it's longer if its the very last post in a thread? Edit: Wed the 9th at 2:10PM and I can still edit last Thursday's post. Edit2: Thu the 10th at 6:40PM. I still had the edit button earlier today, past 1:36PM even. But now the button is gone. The 1:36PM time stamp time appears to be PST? Anyway, my guess is that I lost the ability to edit at about 4:36PM, one week after making the post. At least for the last post in a thread.
