Find a free picture hosting site like www.Photobucket.com. Upload the pictures there for free. Once your pictures are loaded there, open a second window so you can view Photobucket. Copy the IMG code by simply clicking on it Then on this board, simply right click your mouse, and a command box will open. Select paste over the reply box, and it will transfer your picture address into the reply box on this site. It is as simple as that. Good luck! BTW - I since added a free hosting service on top of the thread reply box. Just click on the browse button, find the pictures on your computer, click on them, then the address to the picture on your computer will appear in the white box above. Then click the "Host It" button, and when the pop up box opens, read the directions, and your done. (I recommend you choose one of the top two options)

I've been using it, glad you all told me about it. Rally helps in not having to resize pic's and all, though, you do have to visit another website to see the pic's, but oh well......

I've been using it, glad you all told me about it. Rally helps in not having to resize pic's and all, though, you do have to visit another website to see the pic's, but oh well...... Under each of your pics in your photo album is a column of four: Email, Direct link, HTML, and IMG. Slide your mouse cursor down to the IMG, a little white hand appears, left click it only once and PRESTO/CHANGO, it's copied. Then come over to the forum Reply or Post Thread box that you were typing in, right-click where you want the pic to appear, a menu appears, and then left-click Paste...it will show up as IMG text in your box, but when you hit Preview or Post ...voila, the pic is there!....like this: Hey, I've seen that floor before! This is exactly what Pete was instructing up above in his Instructions, but I thought I would try to explain the way I would understand it....because I am a Computer Dinosaur and need all the help I can get!! #WackComputer# Jer.

If you remember, when down sizing pictures, try to keep the width of the pictures between 750 and 800 pixels. Both sizes are smaller than what the picture above is. That way they fit on the page better, and don't make the whole thread a foot wide. #tongue#

Hey Pete: Could you explain how to do downsize in Photobucket? As you can see, THAT part I don't know about.
Do you use their downsize (resize) button? All I get are 3 choices when I try that: Avatar, Email, Thumbnail (I think.)
Is one of those the right size, or do you have to do it in a PhotoShop type of program first, before even uploading them to Photobucket?
Thanks for the help,
Dinosaur.

Hey Jer, you didn't grab a pic that was cleaned up with circles in it, dang. I went out there with a wire brush and vacuum, brushed the driver side front floor pan, and then vacuumed it, Once satisfied, I circled every hole I could see.... Was about 10 circled though..... Mostly all pin holes, but there were 2 other holes in which I think you can see, just not in that pic, the dirt and rust cover up the holes in that particular pic....

I use Adobe Photoshop to resize pictures whick if you have it, it is super simple to do. Otherwise there is this... www.rw-designer.com/picture-resizeI personally never used it, but I have heard a lot about this program, and I guess it is real simple to use to, and self explanitory. I know one of our members here uses it, I don't remember who though. Bob maybe

I found a section of Photobucket to where you can resize pic's that you've uploaded. Luckily, the pic's I posted today were small enough to where I didn't have to use the resize feature....
