Pictures

Any hints on where I'd go to find out about loading pictures onto this site? So far it keeps asking me for http numbers, which I'm not too familiar with.

You could use Tinypic or Imageshack. Then use the [IMG] code (or forum code) to post it on here.

When you reply make sure you are in “Advanced” If it says post a “Quick reply” hit “Advanced”

Scroll down below the box you type in and hit “ Manage Attachments” A new box will pop up.

Hit “Browse”

The hit “Upload” and wait a few secs for the pics to up load. Then close this box.
Next you can hit “Preview Post and your pictures should be there.

There is a size limit on pics

I see a cat, dog, horse and what looks like a midget with a hand grenade. If these were the pics you posted it's working fine

Think I've got the hang of it now, but I'm afraid I'll be swamped by people wanting to buy and restore this precious parts car. How do I make this thread disappear?

Copy and paste if all else fails if your picture is elsewhere on the internet like facebook for example. Granted if whereever you copy the picture takes the picture down afterwards you will have a red X; Nevertheless, this haphazard method has worked for me. Load it to your facebook if you have one and then copy and paste here. Not the best method I'm sure.

Welcome to C.O.!

You have a beautiful car Naskar! Consider starting an album on your home page. Then we could all visit there and see them instead of trying to remember what thread they're in.

EDIT: Another Canuck!

It's easy.
1. Clik on your user name
2. Go to View Public Profile
3. Select Albums on the right side
4. Label and upload photos

If you want to see where, clik my user name and go to view public profile. I have 3 albums (right side of page) You have to clik 'see all' to view them all.

I'm glad you guys are discussing this. I'm working like mad on my 65 442, 65 F85 (parts car) and 64 Skylark. Won't be long before I'll be trying to put some pictures in an album. (Olds pics only, of coarse !!)
