Welcome to C.O.
You get the impression that pics are wanted??? We do love to see each others rides.
So what condition was the car and what are your plans for it?

jahlyfe let me help you out a bit...these guys here, the one's that posted in this thread...they're old. Really old. So for them to understand you properly you need to spell everything out properly. They don't understand "dem" or "da". To these guys that's democrats and district attorneys.

So to communicate really effectively with these old farts you really have to type in "Ye Olde English" for them to understand lmao!

James, Joe's Crabshack sucks...If you want crabs I've got your crabs right here, oh wait? That doesn't sound right

The photos need to be jpg's, I believe, and they need to be less than 100 kb in size.

You could just upload them to a site like photobucket or picasa and then post the link to that album. A number of people on here do that. Then you're not limited to the five images per post and things like that.

Kettle? Meet Pot. Pot? Meet Kettle... If I was thirty years younger I'd come down there and have and **** kicking contest with ya for that!! And I bet I'd win cause I can prolly run faster scared than you can angry....

Ha ha Steve! I may be old but I still nose howta read twixt da lines. Der's onee a few dat reely git upset bout spellin. And dey ain't sayin anyting. Ooops, is dat Eric comin dis way? (MDchanic). He might agree witchu... Mebbe Ise jess sic Jamesbo onya!!!

Yes, on general principle it helps if the theme of a question or post is thought out and posted with proper grammar. But we all know that's not going to happen all the time. It's a good opportunity to ask questions or hijack the thread though

jahlyfe'scutty - maybe hard to spot, but we all get along with each other really well. Watch out for Steve though - he will want everything you build to look like a 455. Seriously, he's a great resource for mechanical stuff.

* clik the 'go advanced' tab
* Press the icon that looks like a paper clip; and A 'Manage Attachments' box will appear
* Browse (navigate on your computer to where the pics are stored) and hit 'open'. repeat for all 5 pics.
* Hit 'upload'. It may take a bit of time depending on your pic resolution. If you have ultra high res, you will have to 'resize' them with your picture editor to a 1024X768 size for the C.O. server to accept them.
* Close the "manage attachments' box.
* Preview your post and the images will be at the bottom
* Hit 'submit post' and the thread will have the images installed at the bottom. Unfortunately you can only do 5 pics at a time this way.

If you have the pics hosted on another web server? (As Jaunty indicated)
* Copy the IMG url and Press the icon that looks like an envelope with mountains on it. Paste the URL into that box and hit 'ok'. You can install up to 20 images this way.
* Be sure to preview your work.
* Make sure the images don't carry on across the page, stack them for easier viewing.
