Post it in the photo forum, then link to it.

I don't think you can, unless it's a publicly viewable picture. If you're running an FTP server on your pc it will work, but you can't just share it or upload it unless you post it in the gallery (or another public site) and link to that URL.

Shamlessly use this site's photo forum for your own devices?

now that is an idea.

But that wouldn't be very nice.

it is just a drawing of a bouldering cave that is being built at the community college and they want to share it with a few of us so that we can comment on it.

Maybe the folks at the community college could slap it up on their server?

ccg,
If it's on your computer you should be able to go to the album on this site.
Choose your catagory.
Choose upload picture.
You are asked for a name for the pic. Name it.
Then hit the "browse my computer" or just "browse" button (?).
This opens up a window so that you can find it on your computer.
If you save the pic in my documents, look for it there, if saved to your desktop- find it there....
Double click the file or single click it and choose "open".
As long as your picture file size is not too large, it will load to the album.
If it is too large, you have to take it into a program to reduce its' size, or ask ray to do it for you

Thanks all!

One of the community college guys has a ftp server or whatever it is called on his computer at home and is going to look after it. He is also the forum moderator/keeper for that forum.

Ray..this guy might be contacting you for some pointers with getting a 'picture forum' set up. just a heads up.

thanks again!
