I'm jumping on here with you. I'm the worst ever. I've spent a whole night trying to post a detail only to give up. There should be plenty of links that we can go too. Another member offered to help me soon. If I get it figured out I'll get back to you.

Thanks I appreciate that . I really like to see the before and after pics when someone posts about a job or technique they used . Don't be real sure you are the worst wiht posting pics as I think I have that covered .

OK.. I will do my best! Now ask questions if I am not clear! When I first started it took me two nights and 3 members helping me.

So just hang in there!
First get a photobucket account it is free. Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket Load your pics from your camera then edit them to messageboard size (640 X 480) Once they are edited... off to the right of the pic will be 4 options to post your pics. Use the IMG code,(the last option) copy and paste onto your post. You can then hit enter to leave space between pics or type a message or leave no space between pics it is up to you. You will not see the pic while you are typing just make sure you hit enter between pics so they are not side by side.. they will not fit.
Now if you are a slow at typing I would suggest you type what you want to say in a word document and cut and past your message. If you are too slow or you have a very long post you will time out and have to start over. If you need more help post so that others can help or PM me. Good luck!

These are exactly the parts that I struggled. Side by side pics; timed out; pics out of sequence. Plus, I didn't know to use the "IMG" code. Thanks Tonya. Hey ss-truck, the photobucket account plus what Tonya told us is huge. I'll help too if I can. Thanks Tonya.

Who was that, helped us?

Thanks Tonya , TIKI AL , and Jimmie . Now I have to get some decent pics into my Photobucket so I can post something useful here . All I have saved are pics of our race car and inside new engine ( but most of those are not to be shared ) I will try soon to send something useful to this board .
