suggestion for mods/admin
i guess a lot of members here are older and not computer literate.
i notice a ton of threads with cars or parts for sale where the OPs actually admit they have pics but dont know how to host them.
my idea is a how-to post pics sticky at the top of all for sale sections that explains how to register an account with a few of the free host sites and simple instructions on what tags to use on this forum. this would help both buyers and sellers and save wasted time for both parties waiting for pics to be emailed.

You are incorrectly assuming that because one is older they are not computer literate. I've seen plenty of folks on here younger than myself that have problems posting a pic. Age isn't the problem with the ablility to post a pic.

Problem was I didn't know about it and had to ask for help. I was then provided with the link to the picture posting thread.

There is a section already for this purpose. Some use it many do not.

As others have indicated, there is a HELP forum. That HELP forum is easily found if you're on the MAIN page of the forum itself. Once you click on the HELP forum link, there are 2 stickys about how to post pictures. Unfortunately, the HELP forum is just like the RULES forum - nobody reads them - their loss.
