Vette(s): SOLD - "The Toy" - '70 Convertible

First of all please limit the size of any picture inserted into a message for display to a maximum size of 400x??? pixels and 200x??? for pictures used in a signature.  Images larger than that can cause page display issuses for members who use larger screen resolution settings.  Larger images, and many images in a thread, also increase page loading times for those members who do not have high speed internet connections.

In the row of icons above the box where you type in your message text there are a couple of icons that make adding an image easy to do.

The first looks like a picture of a tree (  - hover your mouse pointer over it and the 'Add Image' label will pop up).  Click on it and a window box will pop up, key in the internet server location of the image file in the URL field, click on the 'OK' button and poof! - your image will be there.  If a little box with a red X appears that means that there is a problem with the URL you entered (something was misspelled or the image was not uploaded to the location specified).  Highlight and delete the little box, verify the URL of your image file, and click on the 'Add Image' icon again to re-add the image.

If you have several pictures you want to post, or they are larger than the size mentioned above, please click on the icon that looks like a globe with a link of chain ( - hover your mouse pointer over it and the 'Add Hyperlink' label will pop up).  After clicking on it and a window box will pop up, key in the internet server location of the image file in the URL field, click on the 'OK' button and poof! - a link to your image will be there.  

You can always use the IMG and URL HTML tags directly if you wish to.  Click on the 'Forum Codes' link just below the Message text box to pop up a window with examples of how to correctly use them.

Hope this helps!  If you need any more help with anything just give a shout.

Bob - you have a PM waiting for you.

Ron - You are correct Sir...!!!        The youngsters are scary when it comes to the electronic age.
