Posting pictures
Is it encouraged on this site? Many car sites encourage it but I'm not sure about this one. The web page says that I'm able to post, reply, edit, almost anything except posting attachments. Is it some kind of special restrictions? And if I were to post pictures, what do I need to do????

I have a Photobucket account (it's FREE) which I use as a host for ANY pictures that I want to post on a forum.
I post lots of pictures here, Team Chevelle and Chevytalk foums.
Go for it. Pictures are good--------------they're worth thousands of words.

This should cover it...
You can get pictures into your Corvette Forum post by doing the following:
1) Go to www.tinypic.com
2) Upload your photo
3) On the page that appears, copy the text that starts with [IMG] and ends with [/IMG]
4) Paste that text into your Corvette Forum post, to link that photo.
That method works well, but your photos will drop off of TinyPic after a few months if they aren't accessed frequently.
A more permanent method is:
1) Go to www.photobucket.com
2) Create a free photobucket account
3) Create a photo album (not required, but you'll quickly find it's better to have different albums for different types of photos - such as one album for each car you are working on)
4) Upload your photos
5) Copy the text that starts with [IMG] and ends with [/IMG]
6) Paste that text into your Corvette Forum post, to link that photo.
