It's built into the forum software. We have no control over it.

Okey Spaulding was "JoHan" since 2000.

BTW... the Johan website is history.

From wikipedia: In 2000, Jo-Han was purchased from the ailing Seville by Mr. Okey Spaulding, and a new company, "JoHan Models LLC" was formed. Through about 2005, it produced a few of the original models in limited quantities, including the 1956 Plymouth, 1963 Chrysler Turbine car, 1959 Rambler station wagon, as well as some 1950s Oldsmobiles and Pontiacs. Spaulding sold cars through his website for a time, but as of 2010 all sales are done through the bid site emodelcars.com, though few models have been listed there.

Ok, seriously... the stars are a "rating system." Anyone can go to anyone else's Profile page and click on the stars. You have the choice of "rating" that person either one star, two stars, etc. I'm not sure exactly how the overall rating is determined, though. I don't know if the star rating that shows is an overall average of all ratings, or if the star rating shows whatever rating the last person made. I think it will just show whatever rating the last person gave. So if I click on Member X's profile and rate him 4 stars, his star rating will show my 4 star rating until someone else goes in and rates him differently. At least I think that's how it works. And if that is how it works, it's completely meaningless, since anyone can go in and give any star rating that they want, and the rating could jump from 1 star to 5 stars back to 2 stars, etc. It would make more sense if the star rating shown was an average of all people's ratings, but I don't think it works that way.

The washes add a lot. Subtle but they really add dimension and realism. Nice work! Even every single chain rivet detail painted... now that's dedication!

What scale is this?

Are you kidding? We have a whole separate book on you...

The more stars you have, the bigger a troublemaker you are...

You had to go get each picture individually, and copy it to Word. Then you copied and pasted that Word "bundle" here. But you still had to go and copy each photo individually into Word! So now just copy each photo individually to here and skip the Word nonsense! It's one LESS step than you used to do... so how is that harder??? Seriously... you used to copy and paste from Photobucket to Word. Then copy and paste from Word to here. Now you know that you can copy and paste from Photobucket directly to here. No intermediate Word step needed! And you say your Word method was easier??? I totally do not get your logic.

If the site seems to be working ok, then obviously your browser is probably fine. If the site seems to be acting funny, your browser is most likely the problem. Update to the latest version of whatever browser you're running.

What you were doing was copying the Photobucket info and pasting it into Word... then copying the info from Word and pasting it here. All you ever needed to do is copy from Photobucket and paste directly here. Pasting to Word and then copying and pasting from Word to here is completely unnecessary.

Actually, a lot of members here really need to update their web browsers. This new forum software will NOT work correctly on ancient browsers. Get the latest Firefox, Chrome or Safari and your problems will disappear.

What I don't understand is why so many people suddenly don't know how to post photos anymore. Nothing has changed in how you post photos, it's exactly the same way as it always was.

To add an avatar you have to click on "Custom photo," NOT on the "Gravatar"... Posting photos from Photobucket woks exactly like it ever did. Nothing has changed.

How I posted the three previous photos: In Photobucket, mouse over the photo. The three lines of text appear. Click on the last line that says IMG code. You have just copied that code. Now come back here to your new post and paste that info into your post. Hit enter to get to the next line. Go back to Photobucket, mouse over the next photo you want, click on the IMG code line. Come back here and paste that info into your post. Click enter again to get to the next line. Go back to Photobucket, mouse over the next photo you want, click on the IMG code line. Come back here and paste that info into your post. Repeat as many times as you want. Geez, guys... I thought we all knew how to do this!

Exactly!

That's exactly how I do it!

How I do it: Open Photobucket. Copy the IMG code from photo 1 I want to post. Come back here and copy that info into my new post. Go back to Photobucket, copy the IMG code from photo 2 I want to post. Come back here, paste into my new post. Repeat for photo 3, 4, 5, etc. (you have to have both this site and Photobucket open at the same time, but that's just a simple matter of opening up a new tab in your browser and opening both this forum and your photo hosting site.

There's absolutely no reason to go through MS Word. I couldn't figure out why in the world you did that?

Nice weathering!

I don't see the point of going from photo hosting site... to MS Word... to here? What does going to MS Word first accomplish? It's a completely unnecessary step. Go to the photo hosting site and copy the image info, and paste it here. Why the intermediate (MS Word) step???

Dave's links are wrong, they have too many image tags . There should be only one at the beginning and another at the end. His have two at the beginning. I have a feeling some of you guys are making this way harder than it is. All you have to do (Photobucket works this way, not sure about Fotki) is just copy the info in the "IMG Tag" line below the photo in Photobucket, and paste that info into your post here. Photobucket automatically includes the image tags so that your picture will display properly (as a photo, not as a link). It's basically fool proof. I don't understand why so many of you are having a problem.

I just posted this from Photobucket. Exactly the same way I've always done it. Copied the "IMG Code" from below the photo and pasted that info here. Same as ever.
