An old newbie

Im new to this site, as of today - but I have visited this site many times. Im the new owner of 1965 Jetstar 88 conv and also own a 1950 Chev 5 window and a 1965 Olds Starfire conv. Trying to upload some pictures when I learn how to use this site because I need some parts and hope I will get lots of help finding them.

Welcome to C.O.
Sounds like you're a 65 and older collector? Lots of guys here with knowledge to help you along.

Here's some help with uploading pics.

* clik the 'go advanced' tab
* Press the icon that looks like a paper clip; and A 'Manage Attachments' box will appear
* Choose (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 or smaller 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?
* 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.
