: Chuck.... oh i had to laugh at your response fella, you are quite right i haven't asked for help in loading pictures here directly........but i have in the Omega forum on 11th Feb and Derek's response was ere....not clear to me. Anyway,i have to say that i have seen others stuggling with the same issues that i have mentioned and as far as i can read they hadn't recieved any responses that i could also learn from. Anyway i will try to digest your response to this problem of loading pictures and await Jeff's explaination so that i can fully understand this procedure. It may also be worth noting that my good lady is not as understanding of your response !.....you see because of Jeff and yourself {i had to blame it on someone !}I have spent far to much cash recently on watches..........6 Autavia's.....this is Jeff's fault! and 5 Omega's.....i blamed these on you and your excellent speedmaster Mark article and c1045 article,which has lead to a search for a full set !....anyway,both you learn'ed gentlemen have alot to answer for as far as my good lady is concerned........see,more watches = less handbags and shoes for her!....anyway as for venting steam......look,the English sense of humour is sometimes lost on you guys from the US,I meant no harm,i was just frustrated.....i want to join in with your forum. As i mentioned in pervious posting's,i have alot of enthusiasm for these items,a head full of questions and i'm willing to learn from the experts like yourself,Jeff and others,but often a picture is worth a thousand words......so you understand i would like to be able to post my pictures. So this said i'm taking your advice and i'm off to buy that lottery ticket. By the way.......I believe i posted a request on the Omega Forum 27th Feb for help from someone about a contact for a Custom case for a c1045,....er no response was given !{not that i was getting paranoid} but i have managed to secure a case from the gentleman concerned, so not to worry about a response now. Chuck I hope you don't take an offence to anything i have written here,but of course if your mind reading ability isn't working as it should....let me just add,i have the utmost respect for everyone on this site and hope i can learn more from all of you.
Best regards.......a good tempered Englishman....{with a shoeless handbag swinging good lady !}.

I give up Posted By: Bryan Hill
: [Date: 3/4/05 10:34 GMT] Sorry
: guys.......anybody that is actually reading
: this I am sorry, Geez, Why? That's a
: pretty blanket apology from where I look.

: i have tried and tried and i'm either too
: stupid or just don't have the right
: equipment......{sounds like my ex wife} I
: best not comment on your Ex's knowledge of
: your equipment!

: to be able to complete this loading a picture
: lark. If you have a picture in a place
: to where you can point to it on the web (not
: on your personal computer (Mac or PC) but a
: 24/7/365 machine, that picture can be
: displayed here.

: I felt that you guys might like to see my
: modest collection but it seems as if no one
: is willing to direct me on how to achieve
: this ! I do not believe that is the case.
: I've seen you ask about the 1964 LE ,
: Carrera Vs. Autavia , talk about Verona or
: Vintage Autavia , watch display blocks ,
: Autavia Help Required , but I do not see any
: post you've made where you've asked "
: how do I post photo's? " in the title
: of the message, nor do I see any message
: you;ve posted under "Bryan Hill"
: where you have said " Gee guys! I am
: having no luck posting pictures, I need some
: help ". Have you posted a request like
: this? Because I can't find it.

: . As i have asked several times within
: conversations Where? I can't find any
: instance where you have asked " I need
: help in posting photos for display on this
: site " within this site. There
: certainly isn't any post made under your
: name with " help in posting photo's
: " in the subject. At least not that I
: can find.

: but although my other questions are answered
: no one seems willing to help me with regard
: to loading pictures. You do have to ask!
: We are not mindreaders or we would have
: stocked up on all these vintage Heuer's
: decades ago!

: I just don't get this computer stuff,so the
: optional link url,the link title and the
: image url are all chinese to me I have tried
: loading pictures on to a hosting page,then
: pasteing the address in the above mentioned
: optional links and still my pictures don't
: appear in your site. Unfprtunately,
: doing this requires a little work of a
: modestly technical nature. Ok, Optional
: Link URL : means, if you wish to link to
: another page (if you wish to refer someone
: to a specific page on the web, put it's
: address (usually starting out with a
: "http://www." and then the site
: and address of the specific page.
: TAG-Heuer's site would be
: "http://www.tagheuer.com".

: Link Titie : is what you want to call that
: link. In the example above, you might
: choose: TAG-Heuer's offical web site".

: Image URL is the address of an image you wish
: to include in your post. Somehow JM
: Chevalier discerned your photo's URL (I
: didn't know where to look for it) and posted
: a link to it. The address of where the
: photo photo is:
: http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0TgAAAIsX56Co*Q5ALVOQJyp0ejEJKzbamG1erwiZ9MARaBNwUk
:
: COe!okiU2d!EY3UeB8fuqz5ZpwH2EZiwov2p3VR92B1CG1UNKXZGDqk8mYnJGPqXYjfw/Picture%2022
: 0.jpg?dc=4675512543866724144

: if you placed this text within the Image URL
: field within the posting form, your picture
: would display, just as it will in this
: message (as I have done that). If this works
: the picture will appear under the footer of
: this message (with my name, email address,
: links to my site, etc.). We'll see if this
: works.

: So if Microsoft doesn't do some silly
: proprietary schtuff with stuff hosted on
: it's site, your picture should appear here:

: All I did was to put that URL (starting
: with 'http://groups.msn.com/" and put
: replace this text with the address where the
: photo lives " > (and removed the
: space between the " "and the
: website displays the picture at the bottom
: of the post (in this instance AFTER my
: footer contact information.

: I really enjoy reading and looking at what
: you all have to say and show,and i am
: learning more here than i have in 10 years
: of collecting, but how can i properly
: contribute unless someone kindly tell me
: what the hell i am doing wrong.... Again,
: ya have to tell us you're having a problem,
: and saying we aren't helping you, when you
: haven't asked here for out help (as best as
: I can tell) isn't going to get things set
: right.

: ...or do you lot just not want to tell me.
: We are not psychic! Ask!

: Ask with a new topic with "Help Posting
: Photo's" in the subject. Don't bury a
: request in an unrelated topic and expect
: people to descipher your needs. We can't
: help you when we don't know about it.

: Unless someone can point me in the right
: direction, i guess i'll have to take my own
: direction and leave,and i don't want to do
: that. And I realize that my reply here
: might not help your mood, but we have had no
: reason to believe you were having any
: difficulty at all (unless I've missed a post
: somewhere).

: So i promise to change my aftershave and i
: won't wear that loud shirt again.....but
: someone please help me......please.......all
: i want to do is join in with some pictures.
: Thanks.........i'm off to cut my wrist's now
: ok!. If you want to blow off steam,
: that's fine, but your anger is simply not
: particularly well directed. Just so you
: know.

: There are buckets and barrels full of people
: here who would help you if you asked, asked
: clearly, asked politely and you didn't make
: a huge production of the whole thing. I
: simply believe you could easily have gotten
: the help you sought with a lot less
: frustration if you had simply tried to by
: posting a clear request in the forum.

: Bryan Again, I realize that my thoughts
: here can be taken the wrong way, but in all
: frankness your attitude reminds me of the
: guy who prayed to God to let him win the
: lottery, and he didn't win, so he went to
: church and prayed again, and he didn't win,
: and he went to church and prayed every night
: and still didn't win, so being mad, he
: called God out and started cursing God out
: about how he'd prayed to win the lottery and
: he didn't win. To which God said "you
: have to meet be half way, you have to buy a
: lottery ticket". If you can't get it
: to work, ASK and we will try to assist you.
: If you don't ask, we don't know you are
: having a problem, so how can we possibly
: help you?

: For what it's worth, somehow between you and
: JMC you achieved the difficult part: getting
: tht photo to a place on the web where one
: can point to it. It's really easy after
: that.

: Sincerely,

: Chuck
