Cool. Thanks Hydraulic Jack! I'll check that out.

Matt,

If "annotations" is meant to refer to the text and arrows ON the photos, those are done in a photo editing application (Photoshop in this case)

Edited photo from earlier in the thread

The above photo was "captured" from an earlier post in this thread, then loaded into Photoshop. It was then cropped and the text and arrow were added as layers. An additional layer of partially transparent black was added to make the text more readable. Are those the "annotations" you were wondering about?

The only "annotation" which can be added while "in" the chat group is a "file comment" or smilies or the message text . . . so far as I know.

Yep. That is a good example of the annotations I was referring to. I use Lightroom for digital image processing. I will have to see if it has a similar feature. Thanks Captain Eddie!

Just to confuse everyone
There is now an add-on for Firefox and Chrome:

Firefox add-on
Below for Chrome.....apparently you can't have more than one URL link in a post here??
Chrome: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/photob...epeipngiikdkpmcpkaon
Install the add-on and hey presto, you can once again see photophucket pictures on a forum

I can do similar right on my iPhone! I added the text and the yellow arrow from my photo editor! Victor

[matt glascock]

I don't have an I-phone. I don't have Photoshop. I do have a title though. I'm "the man that time forgot". I'm pretty sure I never made it out of the early '70s.

(In a loud, echoing announcer voice!) “THE MAN THAT TIME FORGOT...OT...OT...OT!!!!!!! LOL!!! Victor

Just to bring this thread back up top, are folks still experiencing issues posting photos? If so, please reply and include a description of the issue, your operating system (windows, iOS, android, Linux, etc.), device (computer tablet, phone, etc.) and the type of photo (uploaded or linked from another site).

The info will help the web team continue address site issues.

Thank you.

Thought I better test it on the IPhone

[Makotosun]

The forum seems to work fine on tablets and phones.

The Club is building a completely new website to try to bring all of our resources to one place, and as part of that, his forum will be either integrated in its current form (software) or converted into a more compliant version. I am using the proposed solution which functions pretty much the same (upload files, then insert into your post) as this one.

We are hoping to have the new site up and running soon, but as is the case with anything new, we intend to try to work out all of the bugs we can before subjecting you all to any big changes!

[Makotosun]

Testing to make sure photos are working. Had a report . . .

[Bullfrog]

. . . and it was me and my Windows 7, Internet Explorer version whatever computer, which was having the reported problem. Temporarily solved by using Chrome when needing to post a photo.

Testing of a recently completed basket case.

Not sure why my photos appear sideways on my android and if I click on them they are then in the correct position.

[Bullfrog]

FYI - Both photos appear sideways to me . . . and they stay sideways when I click on 'em on my computer. Windows 7 operating system and Internet Explorer. NOTE: So far as I know I am fully updated on both Windows and Internet Explorer . . . and I can not post photos to the Forum unless I surf there using Chrome. (Hmmm, that should probably be phrased, "unless I surf there using 'not Internet Explorer' ".

[Bullfrog]

Oooooo, this is very interesting. I am currently logged in using Chrome. The photos are sideways . . . until I click on 'em - then they appear correctly (rubber side down ). I have NO idea what to make of that.

Geez; I'd been turning my laptop on its side

[Makotosun]

I’m using Safari on iPad and they appear sideways in the post, and correct when clicked. I have had a similar issue with iPhone photos, as he camera attaches an orientation tag it seems. Android may do the same. Different browsers apparently interpret that differently.

I know I have opened such photos on a photo edit program, the re-saved, and fixed the issue, but otherwise it is an anomaly I can’t fix via the site software.

It works great, while you are laying on the couch.============Clarence

Who's airspace was that pic taken? Planes look pretty close together for US specs.

[matt glascock]

Is that a DC-8??? I didn't know any airline was still flying those. I did know they were for awhile in limited service as cargo planes but that one still looks to have windows. Interesting.

[ossa95d]

I think it's a Boeing 707

[matt glascock]

I think you are right, Pop.
