Hi Everyone
I've been working on the pics. I was having problems taking them from the camera to PC. 3 times I attempted to put them in a folder, and then couldn't find them when I went to upload them on Photo bucket. Am I ever stupid, I was putting them in a folder on the camera Duhhhhh! I had to get my son to help me do it as usual. This time I wrote every step out. I think I got it now, this is a different computer than the last time I did this. It was not uploading after 15 minutes so I kept making the pics smaller, but now its taking about 10 minutes a pic. I hope they aren't toooooo small.
After they got the pond done, the next day we had mild temps and rain all night. Major flooding lots of towns and roads flooded. They said on the news worst flooding in 30 years. The path going down to the pond was a heavy stream that all rutted from the torent of water, because its just a mucky path, the over flow from the one pond to the other, has a spillway of filter cloth and rock but the dam gave out where the backhoe guy took a pile of topsoil instead of clay to make the bank. ( he couldn't tell the different because they were covered in snow, and he was doing that part in a snow storm.Even with the trench done for my weeping tiles that flows down to the pond, my basemnent wall was leaking. There is still over a foot and a half of snow in the woods and the gound is still covered around the house. It is raining lightly now and it is supposed to get alot warmer in the new few days.
The more the snow melts the worst it looks. What a mess.
We are going to have to drain the small pond that was just done, and do alot of grading. When they did the trench they laid one 250 line of 12/3 wire and we had a spool of 14/2 that they forgot to lay. Plus with the wire having to go down and then back up and being cold it didn't go as far as we thought. So now we are going to have to run the other wire and extends them both. It going to be impossible to do anything for along time, as it has to dry out.You can't even walk on the mud.
We have a backhoe attachment for the skid steer but it only having tires it'll get stuck. I'm checking around now for a grading blade for it, because all we have is the bucket. A blade would be good for snow too.
I'm checking on this page that I'm typing this and I can't see where you attach the pictures (help!)

Sorry to hear about your problems. It seems just when you think all is gong well mother nature decides to show you who's boss. I tried to find the posting of photo's directions but I'm at work so maybe Tia will help you like she did me in the beginning. It's not really that complicated. Good luck with getting your construction people to re-build the pond dam so this doesn't happen again. :rolleyes:

Hi Megan,
Do you have your photos uploaded to Photobucket? If so, then I assume you mean that you can't get them to show up here on the forum so I will start from there. :)

To post the pic do this: Just click the image code (in Photobucket)on the bottom left (beneath the pic you want to post) one time with your left mouse button and that will copy it to your imaginary clipboard. If it does not copy then right click (one time) and select copy from the little popup window. Then when you are typing your post for the pics just right click one time and select paste. That will put the pic in your post. You can select the Preview Post button at the bottom of the screen where you are typing your post to see if it worked.

Do you have dial-up or high speed access? What browser are you using, Internet Explorer, Fire Fox, AOL, Netscape?? 10 minutes is to long for one pic to upload. Sounds like something is wrong there. Sometimes if it's taking to long to upload or if a page won't load I will click the refresh button in IE and that will fix it other times it won't.

We have been chewing our nails waiting for those pics. :) ;)

Good luck! :)

Thanks but I'm not having success with this. The image code doesn't seem to do anything. I have internet explorer. When I right click and select copy and then go to the message board and right click the paste is not highlighted. I have tryed this several times. One thing I wasn't sure about is I put a check mark in the little box under the pic which highlights it with a red square. I have tryed it with and without. Something is not right.
Thanks Meg

Hummm. Are you talking about in Photobucket b/c I don't see that (red square) on the forum posting area?

What about any popup blockers? Are they turned off?

Try this: from Photobucket, right click and copy.
Go to the posting area and left click in the message area.
Then to to the very top left of your screen and left click "Edit".
Then go down to "Paste" and see if if it is highlighted and if so then you can click that and it should put the url link for your pic in the message.

Don't get the hammer out yet and don't give up ;)

Let me know. :)

Ok Meg, I see the square in Photobucket. I haven't used that option before so I am not sure what it does. I never use that box when I post pics...
