Hello from Idaho

[MANNY1]

Well, I'm joining this forum so I can learn how to make my vehicles look like new and maintain them...I guess this is why we are all here.

I want to thank you all ahead of time for your patience and advice

Thanks

Re: Hello from Idaho

I think I read something I needed some kind of permission from the moderator?? It's almost useless not to be able to post a picture when you come into this forum...this is all about the looks and if I'm looking to fix some swirls marks and some scratches how will you all know how they look if this is something I need 30 post or additional permissions? Maybe I missed something when I read through the emails I got to complete my registration?...Help from moderator?! Thanks

I was able to load some pictures to the galery, copied the URL on the the attachement page but nothing showed up but a small box with a red X in it
I'll try again on this message - insert image, copy URL, etc.......same red X box

How to place a picture into your message
Digital cameras are GREAT! But if you don't know how to get your pictures off your computer and into your messages nobody's going to ever get to see your really cool pictures.
Working with photos on discussion forums



It goes over things like how to resize HUMONGOUS pictures to a viewable size for most people and their monitors.

It also shows you this screen shot, which is the problem you had with your code, (I fixed it)

To add a picture to your message, look for this little button in the Text Formatting Tools just above where you see this text. Click on it.





You'll see this,



Note that a chunk of code is already in this dialog box every time you open it. You need to either delete it or copy and paste over it while it's highlighted.

A common problem people have is they don't remove the code and after they copy and paste the URL Address they end up with two sets of http:// in their line of code and as a result, you see a Red X instead of a pictures.

This is correct
