Default Help - Your new format is confusing.

To the Moderator,

I have been a Forum member since 2003, and I have authored several how to and technical posts. I have just unsuccessfully tried to post a new article on the testing of my 2002 Z6, with pictures. I have been unsuccessful in inserting photos in my article. Help!

And, as an aside, I do not like how you have restricted our choices of fonts and font colors.

There is some known issues with Picture Posting. There's a multiple page thread, just a few threads below yours:

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-pictures.html

We ask that such issues be kept to one thread. We can't efficiently monitor and update every single thread covering the same topic.

Regarding the Fonts and Colors, that had been discussed a few months back. Short answer is that it was done to help reduce usage because it doesn't scale well with all the different ways and devices that people now use to access CorvetteForum and the Internet in general. CorvetteForum still allows quite a bit of customization for messages while many popular websites don't allow any at all in comments. That's especially for font sizes. Regarding colors, there's 24 presets for options. It would be nearly impossible, and be an issue for devices, to present every single color option. All the common and main colors are supported.

J T,

Please excuse my growing frustration ! ! !

If you run a check on my past posts, you will see I have written several How-To articles for the owners of C5 and C6 Vettes. Those articles all included several detailed explanations of the procedure, with quality color pictures. With that as background,

I just finished taking my C5 Z6 down to Mooresville, North Carolina for testing in the Aerodyn A2 Wind Tunnel. Not many, is any, Forum members have had their Vette in a wind tunnel. I tried again to write an article about the testing and tried to insert a picture at the start of my post, and it just disappears. It seems your improvements to the website have thrown the baby out with the bath water.

Who picked the Font Colors? Where is a dark blue font color?

HELP ! ! !
