NEW TO THE SITE. A CURRENT MEMBER I MET AT A CRUISE NIGHT TOLD ME ABOUT YOU GUYS. GREAT SITE ! I HAVE A 1969 GS 350, 4 SPEED ALL ORIGINAL AND MINT THAT I PURCHASED IN MAY. I AM, HOWEVER, HAVING A HARD TIME DOWNLOADING A PIC OF MY CAR. CAN SOMEONE GUIDE ME THROUGH THIS ( IN ENGLISH PLEASE) THANKS.
First, Find the picture you want to post on your computer. Sometimes it is easiest to find if you save it on your desktop. If you have the ability to open it and resize it, go ahead and do that now. if you are using Microsoft Phot Editor, select the "Image" tab at the top (4th from the left) and then select "Re Size". I find that 800 by 600 is usually a good size. 600 by 400 is almost always small enough. Save the resized picture on your desktop or whereever. I usually save it with an "a" or "1" at the end of the original name, so I don't lose my full size picture that I started with, since the resolution on that one is better than the smaller version. Then when you want to post a picture, start a new thread, type what you want to in the box, then go the bottom of the page and you will see a "Browse" button. Click on that button, and then find the picture on your desktop. Then Submit reply and you are done! You can't post more than 1 picture per post (unless the pics are hosted), but you can post multiple pics per message thread. When you are done posting the first pic, hit the "reply" button and repeat the process. I think you have to type something in the message box (you can't just leave blank and add a picture) like "another" "more" or anything you like. If you have photo software other than MSFT, I am not sure how to resize, but you can send to or another board member (lots of us have volunteered) and we should be able to resize for you. Hope that helps!
