    I have noticed that a lot of subscribers do not have any pictures posted of their current or any projects. I have albums that have a sampling of cars since 1970. I even have pics of o/t projects, family, pets and other junk. I go to peoples pages to quantify their replys to posts(what have you done) and they have thousands of posts and belong to many pages and not one picture of anything. I wish you guys would show us what your working on.

    I have beer and popcorn for this one!

    I always figure I should be able to back up my suggestions/statements. All of my pics in my profile are of cars I have built and were taken by me. There are many other projects which I have worked on and are not included. Maybe I saved the best for the HAMB ;)

    In response to the OP, I agree. I too find it disappointing.

    Good point. I have pics on my phone, but I don't post them to my album. I'll post some stuff over the Christmas break...

    All my cars/bikes that I have done any work on are off-topic.

    I am guilty of no pictures! When I start a project, I am going through so much stuff in my head that I forget about pictures. When I do remember, I also remember the camera is a work! I really would love to document my work, even if just for myself!
     
  10. My excuse: I don't know how. And to make it even worse, I have a friend that earns a respectable living in front of a computor, but he is unable to teach! (RichardD, are you listening?)

    We were glad that we took pictures of our Willys truck build. The people that just bought it were really glad to have them.
     
  12. I've tried. I'll bring the computer in the garage next time you are over.

    please don't post pictures of your "junk" or your "package". Projects and completed cars only if you don't mind.

  24. Some people, like myself, choose to either be selective about photos or not put them on at all.

    Too many internet freaks!

    most of us oldtimers cant figure out how to post pics. I have hundreds of pictures that Im sure many here would love to see. If it were as easy as attachment on an Email there would be many more posted here. Why cant someone post a tutorial that all of us can use? Obviouslly the instructions that are posted dont work for many of us!

    I rarely think to take them. I started out to document my Chevy II on facebook, but I think the most recent pics I have on there are from three years ago...:eek::rolleyes:

    I ve tried uploading pictures and it fails if they are big. The website won t rezise them it seems.
    I ve resized them one by one and also uploaded one by one, and this work.
