Need more pics

I take it that you're joking about more pics. I did try to post some pics on here, but my skills on computers are limited to one finger typing and barely remembering passwords, so if you would be so kind to run me through the steps i'll post you some pics on here. Untill then you can enjoy them on http://www.aircooledwonders.com

Once you have logged in here, and you have clicked on "post reply" type in what you want to say, leave a line space, then.....
Open new window, in this new page go to http://www.photobucket.com

Register with the same name and password as here on ACVWSA (easy to remember) then click on upload photos, when photo is uploaded into your album, go to the photo you want to move to this forum, a block will come up, go to bottom of this block,and click copy, or press"control +C" go back to this forum, and press "Control + V"

As ways remember to leave one line space between text and photo as well as photo and photo.

Hope this helps

Thx Herman
I give up. I signed up with photobucket, no problem. Downloaded pic on there, no problem. Now here's the problem thats kept me busy for the last hour. I dont see anything that says copy and control C and v doesnt work either. I tried "share" and it takes forever. Sorry guys , i would love to share and contribute to this forum but as you can tell all this computer stuff is not for me. As I said the project is posted on my site and many other interesting aircooled related stories.

No, move the pointer over the photo in your album that you want to copy.

As you hold your pointer there, a block will open under or over the photo,
Then move the pointer to the small block that is called "IMG code" and right click OR when this block opens,
This then holds the photo info till you go to the place that you want to have the photo appear in your forum text.
At the point you want the photo, you Hold down "Ctrl" key and press "V" key on your keyboard.
You have to have two window open at the same time, and move from one to the other(one window open on the ACVWSA forum, the other on PhotoBucket.)
Only the location will appear in the text, but when you submit your posting, then only will the photo show.
Does this help.......

Sorry I tried and tried and .... Even had my sister help me and there is no "copy' option.
Is this the only way to do it?

In photobucket, when you have your gallery of images on the screen. You move your cursor over the one you want to copy. Under the image, there should be a list to select from, you will see one called 'direct url'. You click on that URL and it should automatically 'copy' the URL.

Then, when you make a post (you won't see these options in 'quick post') you will see above the box you type it a row of 'short cuts'. Click on the one that says [IMG]

Then in your post you will see this: . In between those two sets of brackets, you paste the URL that was copied by pressing ctrl and V together. That should work.

I hope

I know that frustration of trying to post a picture the first time.. been there.

OK I think i've got it. It's not as simple as it should be , but thx for the help guys.

These are some pictures of the floor. For some reason someone decided to weld this piece of metal sheet in. Not sure the reason for it but then again I gave up trying to understand their thoughts behind most of the previous restoration. The floor was really not that bad, but the damage was done . The perfect formula for rust, weld in a 3mm sheet and leave a 5mm gap between sheet and original floor. The only thing that I could think of was that they needed a spot to weld the accelerator pedal too.
One evening while laying in bed( best time for ideas) I came up with an idea of how to shape a new floor. I see this project as an art and enjoyed the fact that I could make my own floor.
There are more before and after pics on my website . enjoy

Good to see you got it right,

As we do not get many 911 retortions here, I am sure you will have a big follow-ship.

If you reduce you photos, you will find it goes a lot faster.

Just do search on it from the top of page.

Good luck and lets get More...
