Hi there from Western Australia

[Bolero]

I would use photobucket. When you upload photos to photobucket or similar photo sharing websites it will give you a link you can post into your message and they will show up as pictures even though they are text when you paste them. I will PM and try and explain a bit better.

Photo Bucket

I don't even know what photo bucket is. Heather also said so and said 1. " Just below the Main message (How to get the Main message????) and see "Upload your image to Image Shack then select photos from the Hard dve. Then "host it" button.
I don't understand this Bolero. Perhaps if you can advise me step by step from 1. How to go to Main message.

photobucket.com is one that is commonly used here, they have directions on the site. Basically you upload your pics to the site, you can add a title, edit & organize them if you wish. There is then an IMG code/number you can copy, bring that over to this website & paste it on a new thread. If you're adding additional photos go back to photobucket, copy the IMG, when you come back to ST, go back to your thread, click edit & add it to your previous thread.

the following is a link you can click to take you to instructions on using photobucket (and other) photo websites:

{it is the first posting if you go to the Paphiopedilum (or Phrag or Cyp) Photography subsection of the forum}

Photobucket is IMO much better/i.e. less pop-up infested than Imageshack. Follow the instructions and it should work.

It worked! :clap::clap:
You've got a few unusual crosses there!

 

[SlipperFan]

If you copy/past from "http:" through ".jpg" into the url space, it works, but there are too many characters in the first post to work directly. The second message's link works fine. See the difference?

I just wonder if I can remember all the steps that I took to post the photos to this site. The crossing you wanted to see: kalinae X tigrinum grows prolifically. Made the cross in 2002. Took a while to mature. Hope you like it. I have a few dozens. If only I can send it, u can have one for free.
The other paphs crossings/hybrids of the photos, I made :Gary Romagna, Wossner Malictoria, David Hadinata, VanguardXphilippinense, Booth's Strap Leaf, Dollcevitta.

Thanks for your encouragement. I am still not confident to go through all the steps again posting photos.

Slipper Fan, thanks for the encouragement. I am still not confident enough "yet" to go through the proces/steps posting photos. I wish there is a simpler way or a computer friendly software.

THanx for the link.
In Photobucket you 'left click' the mouse to highlight what you want to copy and paste here. If you copy and paste the [IMG files for forums,etc] here the photos will appear here instead of the link. Practice and you'll get it.

You'll remember the steps - the first time it seems like so many, the more you do it, the easier it becomes. I find nothing wrong with a link to your album, that is alot less time consuming for you to post that # of photos.
What a wonderful growing area! The kalinae x tig is interesting, shows both parents, have you bloomed many? how much variation do you see? What would be your plans from a breeding standpoint? So sweet to offer me one! This is the start of multi season for us, I love your Booth's Strap Leaf! well..... OK, you've got alot of nice multis!
