Your pics are too large, you will have to resize them, usually 600x300 does it.

I think the "security token" message means that your browser is not accepting cookies. While there is a size limitation to photos, I don't think this is the message you get if they're too large.

By the way, resizing photos is easy. Download and install this program. It's free, and I use it all the time.

Save files to your desktop then upload with tinypic.com
Easy web site to use and easily re size the pics.
Copy and paste the direct link using the pic tag in reply box.

The "security token message" is what I get when I forget to re size before uploading.

If you save an image from another site..it sometimes doesnt give permission to use the image.
Saving the image to your desktop and renaming the file will cure this. Problem.

original photo above looks like this when you add image tags




After choosing the reply tab,look for the (little mountain) image tag,just above where the title of the thread goes.
The image tag just adds [IMG] to the front and end of the original link...if you cant figure out the image tag,just manually add [IMG] to the front and end of the image and paste the whole link in the reply box.

Pictures finally uploaded

Finally did things correctly and here is my 1968 Cutlass Convertible. The background is Highway 130 over the Snowy Range Mountains just above my house in Centennial. The Wyoming Highway Department opened it on May24, took pics May 25th and we got snow again and the road closed on May27th. I think it's open today. That's Medicine Bow peak in the background.

Thanks for the upload advice. I ended up using tinypic.com. I've got 6 hours into this picture thing.

Happy driving

Bill

I love the western U.S,and try to visit every chance I get.
Most people around me vacation down south and I always ask why?
Nobody I ask has ever visited Colorado or Wyoming...what a shame.
Thanks for the photos.
