Hi , rofish
Just like to say a big "THANK YOU" for the advice and encouragement , that you have given me in terms of posting pictures into the forum .
I opened an account at "photobucket" and I managed to put some pics there into an album and I also managed to submit one of these into the thread "homemade tools" .
I have intended to post three pics , but that did not work out , I guess , in the near future I'd stay with posting only single pictures , just to get routine , if I have that enough , I could think about getting further .

Thanks again , greetz , diemai

Diemai, I know about that option. In any of the e-mail notifications I get frof TU, there is an option about not receiving notifications anymore. But I want to receive such notifications, even though some of them are late by as much as one week or so.
If someone wants to introduce himself, he can use a thread in the "All aboard" section of the forum. In the hardbaits forum, there were 2 threads in the past in which each one could introduce himself. I do not remember anymore what would be the key words to make a search for those 2 threads.
Regards,
Rofish

Hi , rofish
I think , somewhere is an option to choose , wether you want an Email notice or not about new posts in threads , that you have participated in . If my memory serves me right , it was somewhere , where you can write your personal data to introduce yourself , but I am not quite sure .
Couldn't check before , got problems with my computer , the sites are coming up so damn slow , also can hardly get access to my Email at "t-online" .
Have to ask a workmate about it tomorrow .

Greetings , diemai

Diemai,
I receive enough mails in my e-mail address (at yahoo) which are automatically directed into the bulk folder. If this has something to do with my account at photobucket or not, I do not know. I guess not. The only thing I have to do when I do not want to read an e-mail from someone that I do not know anything about, is to delete it. I do not know why, but the notifications from TU that someone has replied to a thread I have suscribed to, also appear in the bulk folder.
Here in Romania the fishing is closed now for 2 months (April 14th-June 12th). The only kind of fish you are alowed to fish for is pike now, but only with lures, so not with a real fish. At least in Romania, the pike spawns at the end of February and begining of March.

Hi , rofish
Thank you very much for your kind and informative answer to my questions .
If I have more time , I surely would open an account at "photobucket" as well , right now I am spending way too much time on computer , I really have to get prepared with my tackle , fore predator closing time is over the 1st of May , in Hamburg the 16th of May .
I was very concerned about those spam mails mentioned in one of the threads , but now , that you tell me , that you didn't have such problems , I am OK with it .
If I think over it , it won't be wise of "Photobucket" to do so anyway, because they would surely scare off people(like me) to get involved with them .
Thank you very much again for the efforts , that you took for me ,
best greetings , diemai

PS : your lures in the web-album look very nice , I am sure , that the fish fall for them frequently .

Diemai,
I am sorry to tell you that I do not know much about computers as well. I could not post pictures in the forum because I did not know how. That was until Hazmail has learned out how to do it and he also opened that thread in which he explains to the others how to post such pictures.
I followed the steps he showed in his thread, and I was surprised that it worked. I remember that I could find a simpler way to do it. If I remember well, he said he selects the second option of link (he makes it blue) out of the 3 which each picture in the photobucket has below it. Instead of that, I simply clicked on the second link (I do not remember if I clicked once or twice) and a window appeared saying that the link was copied. I then went to the post I was writing, and I could paste the link, and then the photo appeared in the thread.
What Hazmail does not seem to know, is that the maximum width of the photo should be 640 pixels, otherwise the width of the thread itself increases, and you cannot read a whole line of text unless you use the arrows on the bottom of the page. It is very unpleasent to read such a text in which you have to use the arrow to read the whole line to the right, and when you finish, you must use the other arrow,to the left, to be able to read the begining of the next line of text.
To resize the picture to the size I want, I use Adobe Photoshop software. I use alot this software, even though I think I can use only about 20-30% of its possibilities, and that's because I make crankbaits using the printing foil technique.
About the spam mails, I can tell you that I have received none in more than a year now, since I have opened up an account with photobucket, com. I do not know anything about "fake e-mail address".
Here are some of the crankbaits I made, and I posted on photobucket.com almost 2 years ago. Since then, I did not post any of my new ones:

Hi , rofish
Thanks again about those links for posting pictures into the forum .
Can you tell me , wether it is true , that you would get a lot of spam mails , when opening account at "photobucket" ?
And what is meant by "fake Email adress" , that you should probably utilize , to avoid such spam ?
Sorry to bother you , but I am quite dump about computering , but I would like to have this option about posting pics in the forum as well , if possible , but I hate cracking my brains out on computers .
sorry again , diemai
