Got the torq thrusts today, they look awesome. Now if I could only figure out how to post a pic here (and on the side when I post).

Thanks,

Matt, I'll try to help with the pics.
Go to the "My account" section, and click on the 'My personal home page' line. Then follow the instructions on uploading your pics from your 'puter. Be sure to notice the size limits of the upload, some pics may be too large to upload there.
Once you have them u/loaded to your "home page", you will see them listed, in 'puter 'speak'. Highlight(left click once) the line of text(http.www.c3vrmemberupload......etc) then right click and "copy"
Then go to the forum you wish to post the pic, and click on the hyperlink icon (globe with a chain link), type in the name you want for the link("Torque-thrust", or whatever), then click "OK". when the next window comes up, put your cursor over the space, right click,` and then "paste", then click "Ok" again. That will post a link to the pic.
I'm sure someone else can explain how to do this better, but that's how I figured it out. If all else fails, holler at Norsky, and he'll help ya. Adams' Apple38644.7733217593

Also, be careful of the name of your pictures. No spaces or punctuation. You can use the underbar _ to separate words if you need to.
And remember, big pictures are bad for our dial-up friends.

Good luck with the posting of a pic on this site! I have yet to be succesfull, would love to see the rims. I too am thinking about replacing the original rims. Went to the Ecklers Reunioun last weekend was bumbed to find out they only carry factoy rims for Vets. I know they are cheaper online anyway. I hope it will dress up the car.

Vette(s): 1979, 350sb, as my kids affectionately call it "shit brown" Corvette purchased in 1996. 84,000+ miles. Not a show car, but I love her just the same.

Good try Matt, but no dice!  I think it's hard for all of our computers to look at your C drive even through an internet connection, and I would be concerned if your computer were that open to scrutiny from some many of the unscrupulous surfers out here.

Try again, I know we all want to see those wheels!

Matt,

Before displaying any image on any web site the image first needs to be resident on an internet server, not on your personal computer as Mark mentioned above.  The Personal File Folder area here on C3VR is just such a place.  You will find a link on the Community menu tab/page.  Click on it and follow the directions for uploading a file, or files.

Then the list of URLs on your PFF page will be used to display the image(s).  Again, if you need any help feel free to ask.

Also, bet the dial up crowd would appreciate your running them through PhotShop, Paint Shop Pro, etc. first and scaling the pictures to a reasonable pixel size, and changing the file compression to something like JPG from the bitmap it is now (BMP).   File size does matter to those folks - image size to the forum cells.

Image in my sig is sized 450X338 pixels and is a 68KB file compressed as a JPG.  Same size saved as a BMP would be a 447KB file.  (Poor image due to crappy digital camera, sorry)
