You could go MS Word and click insert, symbol, locate and insert the symbol and then copy and paste into your PBH post. Also the ascii code for ¿ is Alt 191.

Hope this helps...

RAAAY says on Apr 15, 2008, 20:36:

La Camp...........I know exactly what the problem is here.

To resolve.

1. Go to bathroom and fill the bath with warm water. ( not hot)

2. With the computer still plugged into an electric socket, slowly submerge hard drive into water.

3. Follow up with monitor and keyboard.

4. Add three large spoons of salt to water and leave for 30 minutes.

5. After the thirty minutes, add one pair of frilly underwear to water. ( being careful not to allow underwear to touch the keyboard.

6. Leave overnight.

Tomorrow, you will have no problem with computer.

EVERETT says on Apr 15, 2008, 21:18:

I had that same problem, if you go to the control panel and select the keyboard icon you can add and english keyboard. Your spanish keyboard will act as a english keyboard all you have to do is remember which keys are which on an english keyboard. you will get a small blue icon in the system tray that reads EN when in english or SP in spanish.Once installed just click on that icon to swith between the tw styles. I could not the the
" \ " backslash key on the spanish keyboard.

RAAAY says on Apr 15, 2008, 21:24:

La Camp........Once again, I have the answer for you.

To upload photos to PBH you must first,

1 Take a foto of you favourite subject.

2 Go down to the Exito in Poblado and have it developed.

3. The " one hour " developing place there will have your snap shots back in about 10 days.

4. Mail the photos to Desi over in Finland.

5. After Desi inspects the photos, she will mail them back to you.

6. After you receive the fotos, open the comment box of the thread you want to post them in.

7 Apply a good amount of super glue to the back of the photo.

8. With your right hand securely holding the back of your monitor, place the glued photo on to the front of your monitor, and hold for 3 minutes. Then click " comment ".

Before all of that, you'd probably want to email the picture to Ray. He is the master of Photoshop on PBH.

I am obviously doing something very wrong re uploading fotos, as you say dont argue with ignorance, however I daily work with pro audio software, audio logic, cubase, reason, why can I not get my head around this tinypics gig, do you have to be a member etc etc

la campiña says on Apr 15, 2008, 21:48:

or maybe I'm trying to export fotos from my sony software and that makes a diference , yo no se aahh

tejasmarcos says on Apr 15, 2008, 21:50:

browse for the desired pic.

resize for message board (640X480)

RAAAY says on Apr 15, 2008, 21:50:

Yes.....you must be a member of tinipics.

It is very difficult to become a member. Firstly, you must never have come into contact with any Italians. They are very strict about this. ( and rightfully so )

There is an application form on their web site. You must upload this to PBH before you can join.

It will then be sent to Desi in Finland for approval. Almost 95% of applications are refused.

Good luck........it's not going to be easy.

RAAAY says on Friday March 28th, 2008 8:36: edit

Your photos must then be put onto a another web site such as tinypic photobucket or www.flickr.com

I use flickr but I gather the method with the others is similar.

Open a flickr account. Simple process. You will see a link to upload my photos. This will allow you to choose photos you have saved on your computer.One of the options before uploading is, keep pics private or public......I believe you must select Public.

After uploading to flickr go to " my photos "

Right click on whatever photo you want. This will bring up a window with the word " properties" Afetr selecting " properties " you will see another window which contains the url code.
Copy the code. Got to PBH and to whichever thread you want. In the comment box you then paste the code.
When you see the code you must then type < img src=" before it, and "> after it
There must not be a space after < and before img src



For example............go to the pic of the ever lovely Houstangirl above........right click on her pic............from the window that opens .......highlight and copy the URL................ paste it into this comment box after first typing < img src ( make sure no space between < and img="

Then add "> after the pasted code.
