Jimbo, do you post pics on a online web hosting sight?

Try joining Imgur it's free. You can BULK load all your trip pics into a album you name. They tell you how to do it.

I had the same problem a couple of times losing trip reports when I hit Post Message.

Now I use a Open Office app and write them out.
I open Imgur and keep it open to my trip pics and click on any picture I want to put in report.

On right side of screen is a vertical box that allows you to size the pic to whatever format you are posting in. I use the one that says BBCode.
Click on COPY then paste into report or post.

I save all my trip reports in my Open Office file.
Never lose a report again and you don't have to look for pics either because the link is saved too.
