I'm not having luck attaching pics to my replies.  I can't seem to compress them enough. 

Also, I just posted a 1500 word synopsis of our great trip... and, POOF!  It disappeared before my very eyes when I hit the "Post Message" button (just as I've done many thousands of times in the past).

I recall pretty much what I had to say so I MAY try again tomorrow when my frustration recedes.  It was just an "overview" piece covering: fishing, weather, strange bugs, storms, holiday celebrations, wildlife, etc..  A more detailed version is probably "in the works." 

Next time I'll SAVE my comments before attempting to post.

Sorry for the delay. 

Maybe this "sorry" note will get through....

Jimbo   Cool

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.

That's super helpful, ST.  Thanks!  I'll give it a shot at my earliest opportunity.

I used to work with another hosting site up until they switched over to a subscription basis.  I didn't use it often enough to justify the expense.
