i have being in this forum for years,restored 3 trucks/1 car to "show quality" standards and have many pics to share of my trials and tribulations and still have not being able to post 1 pic due to the procedure being complicated for a non tech savy person and i have seen many posts for this why cant a pop up window or somthing simular to the "pic post upload " in the galleries be implemented? i have asked this question before and every one gives advise on how to do this
any way to make thie easier for old guys?

 

---Yep, I have the same problem. I can put them in my album easy ,but getting them in a post is the problem. I'm on other forums and it's real easy,but not here. I'v tried "Photobucket" and a few others and they just add in more steps to take before getting it here. Lot's of other forums are not that way. --------Well, I'm an old guy too. ----

 

hey jim at least some one aggrees with me!! and your right some other forums are a lot easier and if it was the same procedure putting pics into your album and getting them out to post here that would be ideal at least for a few of us time to update this site???

 

Lot of things about this site I don't like and that's the main one. It does need to be brought up to date but some don't like change. It does have a lot of traffic with new things going on unlike some others you only need to check every couple of weeks or so,that's what keeps me here.

 

Not to sure if being a paid supporter or not helps?? But at the bottom of the page under the quick reply I have a "post quick reply" and a "go advanced" option.

When I click on the "go advanced " option below that I have a "manage attachments" option.

Click on that and load up a many a 5 pics....

Not to sure if this helps and I have seen other folks show other ways to load pics, but I go with that I know.

Pretty much anyone that is 10 to 21 could help us in like 30 sec or less figure it out. Maybe a grandchild or neighbor kid?

Or some kid at the library computer desk??

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am a supporter and sometimes it works and other times it won't. I have to reduce the size most of the time,another step i can skip on a lot of the other forums. They just need to get up to speed like the other forums.
My 8 year old grand son could probably help but he lives 300 miles away .L.O.L.---

 

This is probably the easiest forum I post pics on .


right click on "pic"

left click "copy"

move to form and start posting .

right click below text

left click "paste"

 

Just made a trip to the H.A.M.B. and posted a picture of my chevy street rod. Real easy I just click, Manage attachments , browse , right click picture, enter and there it was two seconds later.
It won't do it that way here with out reducing the size ,then paste, two more extra steps. So F.T.E is behind the times in the picture posting dept.
Oh well I really don't have much to show on my truck,it's just a truck.

 

So I thought I would try this to see if it works;

Nope.........

It would be soooo much easier if we could do this, but I guess it saves memory at the web hosting site.

They have added pic resizing to this site. Of course that will still only work for "Supporter" status to load from your computer.

 

I feel for ya, I too am one of the older guys but I got to say with photobucket it's simple! I would be happy to talk anyone through it just PM me with your phone, sometimes things get lost in the text.
