Thanks, Pat Red Heart

The video isn't in my album -- it's in the 2011 Sidney Eagles Album and I originally posted the link to it in the Sidney Eagles Discussion thread yesterday.

And yes -- that was exactly the problem. Grin When you click on the link, you get an error message or it opens up in the Windows Media Player (which I didn't want).

But it's been fixed now Left thumb up You can now copy/paste the url at the top of the page and the video will play in the Media Gallery.

Woo Hoo!! Sitting eagle

wave Need help please; I am trying to do a thumbnail with this url. Cannot seem to get the thumbnail to work:

http://birdcam.xcelenergy.com/Eaglecam/CamOne0832.jpg



The Fort St. Vrain, Colorado, webcam is not yet streaming for the season but the "Daily Pix" are great. Believe it would be better to teach FSV followers (self included) how to do a thumbnail on our forum thread vice a large picture. Help please. Don't Know

CAL, I'm thinking that the pictures on the Fort St Vrain site are replaced every 24 hours - so if you check this thread tomorrow, you may see the picture from 8:32 am on the 6th - not the lovely one you posted. So you may want to save the pictures to somewhere like PhotoBucket or our Media Gallery. We would need to have permission from the owners of the cam to store their pictures in our Media Gallery - and I'll be happy to contact them if that's a way you think people might want to go. It's easy to make thumbnails for pictures in either PhotoBucket or the Media Gallery.

People also can save the pictures to their own computers, then attach them - which will limit the visible size to 500 pixels wide, and allow people to click to make them full size.

Hmmmm? Judy does that go for all pictures that are either not our own or cams that are not HWF?? e.g. A scap of the Maine nest for instance?

Ideally, yes. On a more practical level, as long as the cam site doesn't have a specific requirement that pictures or videos not be posted elsewhere without permission, I (who am not a lawyer!) don't see a real problem with a member having an occasional picture from a non-Hancock cam in their personal album in the Media Gallery.

However, if we are going to recommend or encourage or whatever that our members put pictures from another cam in the Media Gallery, I'd like to see something from someone saying that's OK. Smile
