Posting Suggestion

  • This morning I was going through the archives. Numorous times I wanted to see a pick of the kar being talked about only to find an outdated ebay or craigslist link.


    Here is my suggestion whenever posting an ebay Kar link also make sure to included a seperate picture of it Kar for future reference.


    I hope I am not overstepping any kind of authority here and sorry if I did.<img src=images/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

  • I think for many here its a matter of not knowing how to post pictures. And others noted that if you link EBay pictures to this site when the EBay picture is dropped from their site it's also droped off this site. I too have looked for a picture or links that are not there any more.


    I hope this helps others here on this forum. Try posting pictures here and when talking about a Kar or parts. Pictures are worth a 1000 words someone once said.


    HOW TO POST PICTURES THAT STAY HERE ON FORUM


    1. "Right click on the picture" on the EBay site (or other posting sites). Click on "Save Picture As" this save the picture to your computer. You can delete the picture from your computer after posting it on this website.


    2. Open new tab or window on your computer, go to; http://tinypic.com


    3. Click on the button that reads "Browse" this opens a window to your computers pictures.


    4. Find the picture that you would like to post on the forum click on that picture, then click on the "OPEN" button on the bottom of that window.


    5. Now click on the green button "UPLOAD NOW!" wait wait wait may take some time to upload picture from you computer. The bigger the picture the longer it takes.


    6. There should be four lines of text, click on the second line that's below "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards". this should highlight the line than "Right click on it" click "Copy" this copies the text.


    7. Go back to this forum and the post that you would like the picture on. In the message text box, right click and "paste"

    the text that you copied is the link to the picture. You can only see the picture in preview or after you post on the forum.


    8. At this time your picture is hosted by a third party and will stay here as long as that third party site is around. There are many picture hosting sites like this one above you can try.

  • Most EBay pictures you can right click on, but some dealer photos that are hosted by a third party are locked. Just right click on photo and see if it comes up with "SAVE PICTURE AS...".

    I've been doing that for years, using Internet Explorer as my browser. I recently switched to a different computer that is set up with the Mozilla browser, and have discovered that the "Mozilla Firefox" is blocking me from saving (and posting) the pictures from eBay...go figure. Guess I'll switch my browser back to IE.
