You might first look up videos on the 'tube by Mobiltec. He has a patron site and does tutorials. Larry knows what he is talking about with these little campers. Even the videos available without joining are troves of information. However if you are going to attempt a rebuild and are at all new to this, I would strongly suggest joining his patron group and go over the videos available to members. He dissects the trailers and fully explains the whole process. This includes the whys and wherefores. Well worth the small monthly fee. As to posting pics; it's simple. In a nutshell, you host your pics on somewhere like Flickr and then use the link to post the picture here. Some sites though (again like Flickr) will be too verbose in the link. You will need to clean it up. For instance: The Flickr code is usually too verbose to work. However this will (without the quotation marks) - "https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7844/40448905573_37a881b7be.jpg" Well, that didn't work!   Apparently, the more verbose link will work here and doesn't work on the other boards I frequent. I have yet to figure out how to get the simpler link from Flickr. However, I have used four different hosts and all but one require massaging the link to make it work. Photobucket worked very well till they were sold and now all of us are being held hostage. Anyway, the above is just an example if your link doesn't work. You must determine if your link is valid, and then fix it if not. I'm new to this site myself and am still finding things out. The longer link from Flickr generates an error when using the usual picture icon on the status line. However, it seems to work when added in the body of text. Well that's how we used to do it! I like that. One learns something new each day.  Let's see if I can make this work:  curb side by studeclunker, on Flickr Hah! It does work by inserting a link into the body of the text! You don't even need to use the Icon on the Status line! I like that! [/font][/font] |
