It tells me either the messageboard is under construction or I can't view it because it is too small. This is my 1st trip report, so I may be doing something dumb. Thanks, jim |

Is there some other way to easily browse reports via EP# that I'm missing? Andrew |

I am loading photos to my trip report and have no issues when they have a landscape orientation. But anytime I try to load a photo that has a portrait orientation it loads as a landscape and there doesn't seem to be any way to rotate it. If the pics need to be sideways, I guess it's not the end of the world, but am I totally missing something? The pic below is an example of what I'm talking about. |

Hi Folks, I have resolved another issue with trip reports which appeared to be happening to people in firefox. Let me know if your trip reports now save or if you run into other issues. This may have also made images not come through properly in firefox. Adam |

I recently created a trip report that had quite a few pictures downloaded into it. It seemed to work out fine until I "published" it and on day 4 of the trip I get little photo icons instead of the photos. In my original submission I had those photos entered in the wrong day and did copy/paste into where I wanted them and then deleted those where I screwed up. I figured that may have been the problem so I deleted them again and went through the regular download process for my Day 4. I get the little icons again. When clicked on they provide a picture but I'd love to have the little thumbnails for folks to see and click on as they wish because the photo interests them. Definitely not a techno wizard on this end. Bapabear |

I have tried several times to paste the embedded video and it doesn't seem to be working. I also accidentally "published" my report and I am not ready to publish it yet. Is there anyway you can undo that without losing what I have been working on? Sorry for the inconvenience! Thanks again, Joni |

I would like to create a trip report but I am unsure how to go about doing so. Should I just include the report in the same way I am entering this message? Or is there a way to create the link that every trip report has? Can you please provide a step by step guide on how to do this? I am sure it is simple enough but I don't want to paste my entire trip report in the body of the message. Thanks in advance. |

If you run into problems saving a trip report, let me know. A few people have ran into issues posting trip reports where they experience a long delay in the saving of the report and eventually they just get back an error message or timeout. start techno babble: The general cause of this is there is firewall protection against hackers who attempt to corrupt the database of internet sites. This firewall looks for keywords which might imply such a message is a hacking attempt. Having certain words in a trip report in sequence such as "create", "where", "select", "into", "insert", etc, trigger the issue and the page doesn't come back with a nice friendly message either. "Wait a minute Adam" -- how did you just type those words in sequence in this message? Adam - I used some html trickery. - Adam |

Thanks Just checked some others and there are some a lot longer with write-ups and pictures so now I am really wondering what happened to my report. I will try to re-do it later this evening and hopefully it all works. Very strange. |

Can you say how to find a trip report you saved for future editing? I'm probably dense, but can't seem to find a way to keep editing something I started earlier today. UPDATE - never mind. Got it. Go to my.bwca.com and find the link. |

Hey, I have read several trip reports that have videos within the report. I have yet been unable to upload successfully even a small video. What am I doing wrong? Thanks! Joni (crazycanoe) |

Why won't my new report save a title? I have tried and tried to give it a title but it won't take one. |

I just posted day one of a six day trip and when I viewed it afterward it shows day one twice and that the trip is twelve days. Goose |

I don't exactly see how to enter a trip report in the trip report contest. Are all trip reports published during a month entered for that month's trip report contest? Thanks |

I am trying to post a trip report and some (though not all) of my photobucket images won't publish (it says they are deleted or unavailable). I checked my photobucket account and all images are current -and even are up just fine on another forum. I have reposted the html code for the suspect images, but I still have the same problem. Any help? Thanks! Jerry (OneMatch) |

Just posted a trip report ("Mack Lake to Falls Chain in two weeks") but cant get the last several paragraphs to post. When I edit the report, I can add the paragraphs but when I publish, the last few paragraphs disappear. It is a lengthy report. Is there a limitation on characters that can be posted? Thanks. |

Quick question - I posted a report last month with really no problems but noticed my pics are thumbnails and have noticed in other reports that the pics are much larger. I know my pics are big files and not "thumbnail size". How do I enlarge these into the report so people do not have to click each one to see them? Thanks! Crazycanoe (Joni) |

Can I publish my incomplete trip report, and then edit it to add days over a period of time? I've got it done through day 5, but I'm going back to work, and don't know how long it will take to get the other 8 days completed. Thanks, Tony |

Been trying to enter a trip report for the past week. I've tried IE and Firefox, but every time I save the intro page and "continue", I get a maintenance error message. Thanks for any suggestions you might be able to give. Chad |
