[WB9MCW]

Go here first

CLICK ON >>> http://imageshack.us/

upload your JPEG photo of your ZR-1
from one of your file folders
by clicking on the "BROWSE" button
as shown below then hit the "Host It" button

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p110/HAMMERHATE/postpic3.jpg

This screen will now appear

Now "RIGHT CLICK" (NOT Left Click)
right on top of the http:// that is blue highlighted
and then "LEFT CLICK" ON "PASTE" as shown below

Now a line of text will show up like
(we left a "]" and "t" out so it would show up) >>

Once you hit "Submit Reply" or "Preview Post"
your ZR-1 photo should now appear

We suggest the Preview Post
in case you did it wrong
it will be easy to correct until
you get it right with out having
to go to "edit" mode to fix.

Note: Sometimes you can find on photo host services
a shortcut that will give you the
[IMG htp://i126.photobucket.com/albums/postpic7.jpg
tag with the IMG and the [ ] end tag info
all ready attached - in this case you can do
a simple copy/paste right to the
post window and skip all the other stuff/details.

LATELY I HAVE BEEN USING PHOTO BUCKET---BY FAR THE BEST SERVICE FOR PICS NOW---
but you do have to set up an account to use the service

For a quick site with no log in required--- fast and in a pinch---

I also use these two along with my Photobucket accounts.

>>>> http://www.freeimagehosting.net/

or >>>> http://imageshack.us/

both of these two are easy to use and do not require an account to be set up to use.

We received a PM request from a forum member on how to post a video link for a "You Tube Video" in a post as a link.

It is very much similar to doing a PHOTO link post. In the case of the video and with You Tube the key is to use the "SHARE" feature being that on You Tube the URL (line of code in address bar on top) does not always work.
Definition: URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. A URL is a formatted text string used by Web browsers, email clients and other software to identify a network resource on the Internet. Network resources are files that can be plain Web pages, other text documents, graphics, or programs.
URL strings consist of three parts (substrings):

1. network protocol
2. host name or address
3. file or resource location

Example >>> http://compnetworking.about.com/od/internetaccessbestuses/g/bldef-url.htm

The reason why some URL's do not work is that unless you followed another link to the YOU TUBE video and did not look at any other videos then the link is the correct "share link"

Like this one
>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPJ7NJdwL_Q

But if you search for or click on the right side "Suggestions" list and watch any other videos or do a "SEARCH" for a video topic you sometimes end up with a URL in the top address bar that if you post as a link does not work.

These "URL's" with the "=related" at the end of the code are the ones that sometimes will not work as a link in a post on a forum or for an email.

Below is a detailed answer on how to get the correct "SHARE" URL LINK for YOU TUBE VIDEOS
==============================

Hi Bryan,Ive got a video on YouTube,how do I copy the link and put it in a post?

LOG IN TO YOUR YOU TUBE ACCOUNT

GET THE VIDEO OF CHOICE UP AND PLAYING

THEN CLICK ON "SHARE">>> http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p110/HAMMERHATE/sharevida.jpg

AND THEN COPY/PASTE >>> http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p110/HAMMERHATE/sharevidb.jpg

TO THE FORUM YOU WANT THE LINK IN OR IN AN EMAIL TO A FRIEND PASTE IN YOUR TEXT BOX.

ALMOST THE SAME AS DOING A PHOTO LINK COPY/PASTE

Help :) how to post pic with Apple ipad ?

[XfireZ51]

See if Image Shack has an app in the AppStore. I use the app for Photobucket on both my iPad and 5S. Can send pics directly into PB.

[badbob326]

Thanks got them on PB app now what's next :)

[WB9MCW]

If all else fails get a free dropbox account and sync it with your Ipad or smart phone (this is what I do with my "stupid phone")

All all of your photos and vid's then automatically post to your dropbox.

Using my puter I access the dropbox and crop and edit my photos and finally upload them to my Photobucket account.

The Vid's I would/will just upload to my YouTube account.

[badbob326]

Thanks for the help I believe I have it :)

Nice :thumbsup:

You will notice this thread has the most recent Photobucket issues demanding a Photobucket Upgrade for 3rd Party Hosting. This photo I have posted is located in the Registry Albums which I no longer use Photobucket for any Forum (Registry or CF) Photos.

1. I copied your photo to my Laptop ZR1 Folder.
2...... Opened "Paint" on my Laptop.
3.......then opened this photo in "Paint" from my ZR1 Folder.
4.......resized the Photo using Pixel Resizing to 800x600 Pixels.
5.......saved photo replacing original photo.
6.......Logged in to ZR1 Registry and clicked on my ID.
7.......Opened my Photo Albums and selected Album AMP19 for experiments.
8.......Selected "Upload Pictures".
9.......Browsed my Laptop ZR1 Folder and selected the Newly Saved Photo.
10.....Left Clicked on "Upload Pictures".
11.....Left Clicked "Save Changes".
12.....Left Clicked Photo just uploaded.
13.....Right Clicked on Photo just Opened and selected Copy.
14.....Hit Edit on this post and pasted what I just copied.
15.....Placed in front and behind what I just pasted.
16.....Saved Post.

Wew......I know, I know....sounds complicated....but so is removing the Plenum until you have done it a few times which I can now remove a Plenum in the time it took me to resize your photo for this post :sign10:

Removing a Plenum has as many steps and is just as difficult to explain in writing.......left click....right click.......select......click....click or Drain......pull......lift......unscrew.....remove. .......tip.....Well....you get the point :D

The best Teacher would be a UTube Video which is what we have discussed recently (Jim and myself). That takes a Camera Person (besides myself) with experience in showing the minimum and essential steps of an otherwise complicated process.

An Example of a Video.......
Headlight door motor bushings Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPj1kJm4AnU)

I recently replaced the Timing Belt on my Tacoma watching a UTube Video.
I did solve one extremely difficult issue which is removing the Harmonic Balancer Bolt originally torqued to 217 ft-Lbs. All the video suggested I purchase a special tool to hold the balancer :p

Well.....I used my large strap wrench with sandpaper wrapped around the Harmonic Balancer with strap wrench gripping the sandpaper wrapped Harmonic Balancer.....could work for LT5 with engine in car I guess :D

My socket wrench was a 2 ft long 3/4 inch with 19mm impact socket (along with my 3 ft 1 inch pipe). Worked Great with the 5 ft leverage :thumbsup:

I did have to buy the 300 ft-lb 3/4 inch socket Torque wrench (3 ft long handle) from Harbor Freight ($79) to re-install the Balancer :p

I don't know, its so much easier to post photos on the corvette forum...

I don't know, its so much easier to post photos on the corvette forum...

Yes.....simply because you do not have to size the photos before you upload to the CF Photo Albums.

Differences between the Registry and CF Album Functions.

We do have Photo Album Capability on the Registry and on CF now (with 3rd Party Hosting). The Photo Albums on the Registry now allow up to maybe 400 photos. Corvette Forum has a Photo Album Storage Capacity of 400+ Photos. And.......using CF Forum Photo Albums is sooooooo easy sizing photos as you post..........CF Photo Albums functions (https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/help-forum/2944643-creating-albums-and-posting-pictures.html)

You will see the dimensions for each photo I Experimented tested are different. I use photo widths of 400, 600, and 800.

One example of a Photo Insert.......
([IM G][u rl]https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.corvetteforum.com-vbulletin/400x300-1/80-picture_php_pictureid_164659_1eb7e7d265d f47de66e0e117d87c54c1cd05fe5a.jpg[/url][/IMG])

You will see 400x300 for small size photo...you can just change that number to 800x600 for large size photo or any size you want....I use multiple of 400 and sometimes 600 for width. The photos will then show as you sized them when you save the post. Now that is SIMPLE....if in fact you see them as different sizes on your cell phone/computer? In other words you upload just one photo and as you post it you can size it as you like. Unlike Photobucket you have to resize photo on Photobucket (then two or three photos) to Post the one size you like.

Except on the ZR-1 Registry Forum I have to use PAINT to resize (pixels) photos before I upload as shown in previous post. The two Forums Albums function a bit different....on CF you can right click on photo to see Pixels under Properties. In Edit Mode on CF you can change pixels as you post.

On the Registry right clicking the photo does not show pixels but the photo number is shown which has been sized by photo number using PAINT before you upload ........It gets complicated but if you know how CF and Registry Photo Albums function....it is SIMPLE :cheers:

At the moment I am refurbishing Aluminum Wheels on a Toyota Tacoma.

1. Spray with Paint Remover to Remove Clear Coat.
2. Spray with Water to remove Paint Remover.
3. Sand with 220 which works best with a WET Wheel.
4. Sand with 400 wet wheel.
5. Sand with 600 wet wheel.
6. Using 1/4 drill.....polish using polisher paste.
