Working on posting pics myself.

The obvious observation is, pics must be linked, correct? Not directly posted on to the forum?
And postimage seems to be the current favouite that works?

I'll give it a shot!

Yeah, stay away from Photobucket. They started charging big fees, and a lot of guys that had posted to the forum using PB ended up with broken links that no longer displayed their pics. Postimage, so far, has remained free and works well. Hopefully it will stay that way. There are others that can be used, too, but I'm not familiar with them.

In Postimage, you just click on the copy button for "hot links for forums" and paste it into your post. It just appear as the URL link as you compose your post, but you can click on the preview button and see how it will look when you submit your post. Looking forward to seeing your project. :D

Thanks for Lou's Comet for reporting this. I deleted it and banned him. His IP address was from Madagascar.

Not real sure. I sold that Comet 6 or 7 years ago. It was painted when I got it.
1963 Mercury Pacific Blue perhaps?

I've always loved the mid-60's GM Marina Blue color.

O.K., next dumb question from a newbie......
How do you guy get the picture of your at the bottom of each of your posts?
Is it done in the profile section under "signature"?
I tried that, but couldn't figure out how to add the photo.
Sorry, I'm still playing 8-tracks. :D

It took this old fool a bit to figure out, but the solution for me was going to the Postimages site, and then choosing the "Hotlink for forums" option.
Worked like a charm. Thanks All for your help.
