First Picture

After 20 minutes of messing around, I finally did it. There has to be an easier way. I'll poke around the FAQs a bit to see...

Good looking truck.

Honestly, the easiest way to post pics here is to upload them to photobucket. Once the pic is there - a real easy load process - select the 'Direct' field in the 'Links to Share this Photo' section: The url is automatically copied. Then on FTE, select the yellow picture icon, paste the url from photobucket, and you are done.

An alternative, is to become a Supporter. This allows you to post pics directly from your computer hard drive, just like an attachment to email. Your choice.

Hey Mercman,
Welcome! The hands down easiest way to post pics & use this site is to join for $20. You get rid of the annoying ads & can post from your computer. You get a little paperclip icon & just click on that.

Beautiful truck!

In Photobucket, go to the picture you would like to upload. Left click the "Direct" button (outlined in orange above). The box should flash yellow and then fade.

Next, head over to FTE. You can insert pictures in either Quick Reply or Go Advanced views. Follow the orange text in the picture below and your photo will show up. If you wish to resize the photo, click on it and you will see little white boxes at the corners and sides of the pic. You can click and drag the boxes until the pic is the size you desire.



I'm a visual learner- hope this helps. If you're having issues getting pics into photobucket, I can walk you through that.

Now let's see more pics! You've got a great truck- can I see some interior pics?
