Here are Denise's instructions that she sent me. Good luck.
Here's info on how-to post images on Playa.Info. Please note that although the multimedia gallery is referenced in the supplied info, it is currently not operating properly. So in the interim you will need to use another image hosting resource such as Photobucket.com for which there is also info provided below.

First, an image must reside somewhere online (not on your home computer)... such as your Member Gallery in the Multimedia section of Playa.Info. Or on a free image server that allows 3rd party linking (such as photobucket.com... which is what I use for photos that are not Playa related.)

To post an image in a thread using an image stored in your Playa.Info MultiMedia Member Gallery:
  1. Go to your member gallery.
  2. Right click on the image you want to post or control click if you don't have a two button mouse.
  3. Select "copy image location".
  4. Go to the thread you want to add the image to.
  5. Select "go advanced" below the reply box.
  6. Type any text you want in the post.
  7. Then click on the image icon and paste the image location you copied from your member gallery.
  8. Click on preview to see if the image is there.
  9. Then click submit to post it to the thread.
Basically all you need to do is add the bbc code tags to the beginning and end of the image link. So if you wanted to do it manually, you'd simply add [img] directly before the url/link of the image without any spaces and [/img] at the end of the url/link of the image without any spaces. If you want to see what the heck I'm talking about...hit the quote or reply button at the bottom of this message like you were going to respond to me and check out the code for the image that appears below.



In the event that you choose to use Photobucket.com rather than the Multimedia section of Playa.Info, I've included instructions below for both posting an image and an album stored on photobucket.com.

To post an image in a thread using an image stored on Photobucket:
  1. Go to photobucket and login to your account.
  2. Go to the album where your picture is located.
  3. Under the picture should be 3 different lines of code (Url, Tag and Img). Go to the Img code, highlight it, and copy it (control c).
  4. Now go to your post on the forum and paste (control v) the line of code where you want it to appear in your post.
  5. Then hit the submit button (or preview if you want to see how your post looks before you submit it).
To post a link to an album in a thread stored on Photobucket:
  1. Go to photobucket and login to your account.
  2. Go to the album you want to link.
  3. Go to account options.
  4. Click "yes" for the "make public" option to provide public access.
  5. If you don't want people to have access to any of the lines of code, click "no" for the "display URL's" option.
  6. Click on "Update Account".
  7. Copy (control c) the URL for your album.
  8. Log out of photobucket.
  9. Now go to your post on the forum and paste (control v) the URL where you want it to appear in your post.
  10. Then hit the submit button (or preview if you want to see how your post looks before you submit it).

or check the box of the photo you want to post from photobucket and on the bottom of the page click generate HTML and IMG codes.button...then in the box that says
IMG clickable thumbnails for message boards - recommended highlight this copy and then paste it here in your post...gives you clickable picture to view in 2 sizes.....

July 30 - August 06, 2006 Trip

Here is a link to the trip pictures July 30-Aug 06, 2006. We stayed in Las Palmas Condos in the North End on <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">26th Street</st1:address></st1:Street> between 5th ave and 10th ave. and near <ST1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Mamitas</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Beach</st1:PlaceType></ST1:place>!! <st1:City w:st="on"><ST1:place w:st="on">Las Palmas</ST1:place></st1:City> gaves us beach passes good for Mamitas beach club upon our arrival. Saves you $2US per louge chair and $2US for the Umbrella. <O:p></O:p>

http://s101.photobucket.com/albums/m...slideshow=true<O:p></O:p>
We arrived Sunday, unpacked the rental car and headed to Walmart! Woo Hoo. Always fun to check out Walmart. The breads and pastries are really fresh and tasty. We purchase some water, fruit, cheese, eggs, and ham also for breakfast. <O:p></O:p>
I signed my daughter Courtney up at Spanish school in Playa at "International House" on <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">14th street</st1:address></st1:Street> just off of 5th ave. So after we returned from Walmart we went walking down 5<SUP>th</SUP> ave, to try and find this place. Turns out that there are actually two 14<SUP>th</SUP> streets as you walk down 5<SUP>th</SUP> ave. So this was a little confusing but we managed to find it after al little searching. I was noticing that the North end of <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">5<SUP>th</SUP> avenue</st1:address></st1:Street> is a little quieter at night than the South end. <O:p></O:p>
After the first day of walking her to school (Monday) and picking her up at 1:30, she was quite confident to walk <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">5th avenue</st1:address></st1:Street> to school on her own! Plus they had social events that the students did in the afternoons which I though was cool. These students were from all over the world also.
At night we checked out the free salsa lessons! What a blast! I love Salsa dancing. On Tuesday we went to La Bodeguita restaurant at the end of <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">5<SUP>th</SUP> avenue</st1:address></st1:Street> (starts at 7:00PM). Wednesday we went to Basico 5<SUP>th</SUP> and <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">10<SUP>th</SUP> street</st1:address></st1:Street> above the Haagen Dazs Ice cream shop. This is a blast to go to!! <O:p></O:p>
(Salsa Dance Lessons at La Bodeguita Restaurant (South End of 5th ave in the shopping plaza) on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:00PM. Also free Salsa Dance Lessons at Basico Restaurant (2<SUP>nd</SUP> floor above Haagen Dazs ice cream shop 5<SUP>th</SUP> ave) on Wednesday and Friday at 8:00PM.) <O:p></O:p>
Thursday after a day a Mamitas Beach Club we checked out the show at Xcaret, the ballgame was really interesting and the traditional Mexican dancers were great! Check out the link: http://www.xcaret.com/performances.php
Friday we went to Casa Del Agua Restaurant. The view from the second floor restaurant is great! You can see the ocean and watch the water taxis to <ST1:place w:st="on">Cozumel</ST1:place>.
<O:p> </O:p>
Saturday we toured Tulum and then went snorkeling a Xel-HA. All in All a great time.., as always, in Mexico!!!
