Hello RPF/Rand Paul Forum

[PCKY]

Though I've just signed up to the Forum I've been reading it for two years now. I'm a Kentuckian and I'm not interested in any of the other candidates. He had me at The Bill of Rights. I believe in the man and his message and I believe he can be President of the United States.
I was in Frankfort this morning, shook his hand and told him so. He was pleased to hear it.
I look forward to discussing the campaign and the issues with all of you.
In Liberty!

Damn it man! You laid eyes on him this morning and didn't post a pic?

Welcome. Beautiful country you call home. I know we can win this thing. But we're going to have to stubbornly make a lot of things go right.

I have one but sadly cannot figure out how to insert it. I pasted but it was ginormous.

I post them to imgur, then link the 'large thumbnail' of it.

Yeah, photos can be too big. Even posting to imgur.com

My technique is to screenshot every image
paste into MS paint
crop it, save as jpg (use selector tool, copy, then create new blank image and paste)
upload to imgur (right click imgur.com image after it finishes uploading and click "copy image URL")
embed in posts as image by clicking "insert image" icon (3rd icon from right) and pasting my image URL I got from imgur.com

Seems like a lot of steps but isn't really and will work for any image, even stills from youtube.

By screenshotting/pasting into MS paint you make sure the size you are seeing is roughly the size others will see it as, assuming you're PC is typical resolution. Another handy trick is if a picture is too big, just hold CTRL & + or - sign to shrink/expand image then take your screenshot.

Any tips for straight off your IPhone?

This forum will automatically make a thumbnail if the image is too big. You won't see it immediately after posting (it will still look big), but if you leave the thread and come back, you will see the smaller version with a link to see the bigger one.

BTW, welcome to RPFs.

Oh, no!

We might have to hack it...

 

[nikcers]

if you upload it to imgur it will give you different sizes you can use too. Welcome to RPF, thanks for supporting liberty.

You can only load it direct if you're a 'supporting member'. Otherwise, you have to put it on the 'net elsewhere and link it.

 

[PCKY]

Ahh... Makes sense.

Thank you for the guidance and the warm welcome! I've spent most of my life around Louisville, Shelby and Oldham County. Very happy to be in Ky's 4th District with Thomas Massie!
