Trace, if you're in Photobucket, I can show you how to post a link to the entire album (But if it's not Photobucket, I don't know!) First, you must log in to your album in Photobucket, then go in to Account Options, change the Album option from Private to Public. Secondly, go out again to the home page of your Album (the one you want to share), then click on the "browser" (the line with http://...) Thirdly, go into your Gardenweb page, then paste the "browser" line into the line "Optional Link URL". Finally, give a name to the link in the line: "Name of the Link", for examgple: My album. Hope that works for you (with Photobucket). Xuan Your "browser" link will appear

*Thank you*, weed--the old thread was also VERY INTERESTING!

albert 135: I agree that there's less traffic now, although I don't know if that's just because few people know the forum exists, or if the system is more depersonalized. In the old days there was a strong feeling that one person, the inimitable Spike, was in charge, and that he was watching and listening. He might ignore the issue, but we felt he was there. Nowadays there's Josh sometimes, and Tamara sometimes, and a lot of the time we seem to be shouting into emptiness. It may be just the perception that the Gardenweb Member is now farther away from management and that suggestions won't be implemented. This is not true, in that I've seen several suggestions recently become reality (Lighting forum, collapse feature) so there is someone there. I guess what I'm saying is that there isn't the same feeling of "ownership" that used to exist. Of course, the "good old days" were always better.... Claire

you did not mention which email client you use??? depending on your email client you may have to set it for rich text and then the icons will show up I know that is what you do in hotmail. In hotmail at the very top there is a drop down box with the options rich text, plain text and edit in html, set it on rich text that enables the new bar with various icons and options like font, size, color, bold, and also an icon that looks like a globe with a chain link in front of it, that is the insert hyperlink icon. However you need to tell us which type of email you use because it can be different on that one.
