Hello all,
I have an old bow light/flag staff combination and I do not know what kind of boat it is from. Is it possible to post pictures on here?

Thanks,
Jeff

Instructions for posting pictures

Photo to be posted must be on the web and in a site that allows cross posting. Many Forum users use www.imagestation.com (http://www.imagestation.com) . This is a free site which seems to have unlimited storage, large picture size, and unlimited albums.

Upload your pictures to ImageStation and create your albums or leave the pics in the in box as you wish.
Pictures in ImageStation are displayed in three sizes: thumbnail, display and original. Left click on the thumbnail brings up the display photo, about 640 bits X 400 or so. A left click on the display photo brings up the photo in the original size you uploaded. Forget this one, except in rare cases which I cannot explain it cannot be cross linked. So....

Left click on the thumbnail to show the display version.

Right click on this picture.

Left click "Properties".

Highlight the Address [URL] and copy it (Ctrl/C).

Now go to The Forum and prepare your new message.
Write what you want as a preamble to your picture, then:

Below the message area is a button, "IMAGE". Left click it.

Paste the URL you copied above into the block displayed.
Note that the block contains http already highlighted. Just paste without doing any thing else so you don't get http twice.

Add what ever additional text you wish to add after the URL of the picture is displayed.

Click on the "Preview Post" button to confirm that what you want us to see will appear, then close the window.

Click the "Add Reply" button and standby for responses.

Pay attention. Follow the directions VERY carefully. (ready to eat crow but I've tested them several times.) Click on the little thumbnail to get a picture that fills about half the screen. DO NOT CLICK ON THAT PICTURE. If you do you get the original sized picture. ImageStation will not cross link to it. In the URL's posted above the ".orig.jpg" on the end tells the story. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid103/p53f0881b54f2cf40748ebcb836e39768/f9a75d9b.jpg

The URL to your mts.net web site would work if you had used the image button from the Instant UBB Codes properly or if your hand manually put ahead and behind, no spaces, your URL, thusly:

Norm: The most recent updates to Windows XP don't have the same "Properties" dropdowns to get to the address. There's an extra step involved that is not completely obvious. I'm not at my home machine now, but I think it's "view image details" or something like that. I'll check it out when I get home.

Also - some "auto edit" schemes change certain combinations of slashes like /0 to %, when you copy and paste. A Royal PITA.

Edited from home.

The first right click dropdown in an image doesn't show "Properties".

There's an "Image" with an arrow indicating more -

The more is dropdown that includes "View info" that brings up the normal "properties" box with a left click. Then you can get the image URL.

Now that the picture is up, any ideas about the light? Is it from the 50's or 60's?

Just a guess, but I'd say it is from the '60s, mainly because most hardware in the '50s was rounded to match the rounded shapes that were popular then.
