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

make the pictures smaller than whats on the computor, I cut them done about 50% and they go directly on in just few minutes

Welcome to CO.

I can't load pics either because most are to many KB. How do you make them smaller KB? Probably a dumb question but I really don't know how.

go to your pictures folder, open it till you see ALL the pictures, go to one and right click, should open a small menu with an edit option, and there, there should be some type 'image' selection and, or, size. change it where it shows 100,, cancel it out,or delete it, and put 50 or 25 . start to close it out and a popup should come up asking if you want to save the changes.... clik yes and that's it

It took me awhile to figure out how to upload pictures but it eventually came to me - hope the instructions from others get you to the point where we can see your car. And welcome to this site - it's one of the best for Oldsmobile, in my opinion - a fun place to read about Olds, to learn about Olds, and to help others with their Olds!

Thanks for the advice. Trying to reduce the pics, but no luck yet. You will see her soon. She's a beauty and likes to show off.

Nice '69, welcome.

That is what I've been trying to do but it's not working and no one I know seems to know how to cut down the size and save it. For some reason my photos use M/S OFFICE to load them and I don't have OFFICE, only the trial that came with the computer when it was new 5 years ago. I can change the size but I can't "save" the change. The drop downs are in light print and don't work either. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks

higgins,
Search on your web browser for "reducing picture size". There are numerous free softwares that u can use.

Thanks for all the help Fourtwenty and Hwalzer....Finally figured it out. Used Paint to open then Stretch & Skew. Cut the size to 57KB.
Now if I can just remember next time. LOL
