Thanks everybody for the kind words.Had her out today with the top off the coupe and man did it feel and look good. We were just cruising down the Indian River without a care. Life is good. If I can ever figure out how to post pictures I will. I'm not very computer literate. Thanks again.

With all the crap going on in this world, you need to find a great pleasure....

Congrats on the ride and enjoy!

Here's some instructions on how to post pics from Photobucket:
HOW TO POST PICTURES FROM PHOTOBUCKET!

What you have to do is got to www.photobucket.com and join or open a free account.

Once you're all set up and you have an open account you'll be able to post pics! Here's how you do it!

You'll be on your Album page at photobucket and it'll be at the top box and there will be some TABS if not already clicked on then click on "Upload from my Computer"

Then go to the "Browse tab" there should be three boxes with that on it if you want to upload more then click on the little "+add more" icon at the bottom.

Now once the images are stored in your folder in your Album I should say, you can go down to the picture and there will be three boxes under that one

What you will do at this point is "Highlight" the bottom most box - the one that looks like this: IMG Code - All you have to do is "LEFT" click it with the mouse and it'll turn BLUE then "RIGHT" click it and a window will drop down and you'll want to LEFT click on "COPY" - Now it is stored for use

Now go back to your open tab of the "Corvette Forum"-you did leave this site open right? - If not open one and leave them both open so you can go back and forth and post pics!

Once on your post and you have your curser flashing "UNDER" your writing and off to the left, you can "RIGHT" click your mouse and a box will drope down and now click on "PASTE" that will leave the image on the page your working on.

Now you can repeate the process as many times as you want up to 25 images which is what the forum will allow on one post at a time!

REMEMBER: Always make sure that when you are done pasteing a picture to hit "ENTER" on the keyboard!WHY?

So the curser will go back underneath the Image just posted and will not continue to post pictures side by side ! Just underneath eachother!

That should be it! Let me know how it goes ! it gets real fun and simple! You can do it!



Thanks,Matt

You need to post the link to the pics inside of the image brackets, so that it will look like this - [img]your link here[\img]

If you click on the yellow square that looks like a post card, and then insert your link to your pics and click okay - it will do it for you.
