Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!! Congratulations on your C6!! DSOM is kind of rare, take care of it. Enjoy the ride and the Forums.

Here is an updated tutorial on posting pics one of the members made last year. I think it is easier than the old one in the Help Forum:

ps: I grew up in Park Forest, Ill. Can't say I even remember Oak Forest, must be up on the NW side of Chicago?
