Help a rookie!
« on: February 06, 2017, 06:36:06 PM »
It's time for my first rookie question.  :-\  Not sure where to post it so I hope this is OK. Have spent the last week trying to figure out how to put pictures in a post so I can start posting the progress on my (very slow) 750K8 build. No luck!  :P Could someone please point me to some instructions or give me a quick tutorial. Everything I type into the search box turns up "No results found". Much thanks in advance!!

When you open up a post, down at the bottom you will see some little icons an d "plus" symbols, things like that. One of them is "attach" which will open up those tools so you can do things like pix.

See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

Thanks!! Have tried that with no success yet, but will try again. Do the pictures show up when you preview or only after you hit the post button? Will start experimenting with posts later this week. Patience is a virtue, Right?!?

It's easier to use a photo sharing account from Photobucket, imgur, Flickr etc. Just embed the link and you're all set.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.
