    I don't think I am posting/uploading pictures correctly. If I put them on directly from where they are stored on my computer they come up as a link that has to be clicked on in order to view them. I thought if a put them into the forums gallery it would solve the problem, but that makes them show up as thumbnails that have to be clicked on in order to view them in a decent size. Other members that are responding to my threads have taken my pictures and reposted them in a larger size. And it seems like just about everyone else's posts have full size pictures in them and because I am mostly computer illiterate I don't know how to do that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Silverfox has a "How to post pictures" ling in his pocket. I'll send him a message for you, it will help.
    Posting pictures seems to be the most challenaging obstacle around here. ;) It's kinda funny how most people here could help you with any part of your car but just try to post a picture...
    Hang tight, your help is on it's way. :)

    Thanks for your quick response. I have posted pictures before but I'm trying to figure out why most everyone else has good size pictures with their threads but the largest I can get attached to mine is a thumbnail size.

    If you go to your pictures in the gallery, you can use the "Direct Link Code" (towards the bottom) on the forum. Copy the "Direct Link Code" and then click on the [​IMG] icon when creating a new post and paste the link in the pop up.

    This is what you will get.

    Close but no cigar! I fixed the image as there was an extra "http://" When pasting the image from the photo gallery, remove the "http://" in the pop up.
