vaughn Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) getting ready for decals. probably only download one picture since this thing says I have already used 1.7 mb out of 1.95 mb. I'll figure it out....anyway...this is where I am now. Always wanted to do a NASCAR and since Revell and NASCAR did not renew contracts and Jimmie has 4 championships under his belt and has won the last 2 races.....why not !!! opps wrong forum !!should be on the bench but maybe this will clear up the MBs that I never used. maybe I got it switched.

Railfreak78 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 From someone that was ready to pull my hair out.. Yes please read the Photobucket tutorial I think Clay posted it. Saved me a lot of heartache and editing posts to delete pics. As far as the car, I am a die hard Hendrick and Penske fan so I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railfreak78 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Tips section is down the main page. It's after the start as in.. General, Workbench, Under Glass, ... Its the next one. Its the very first "Pinned" topic so it's always the top topic. Hope that helps. Oh I noticed that it seemed I ran out of Photobucket room fast but then it went to a different style and I have a lot left on the free version.

Very helpful. Have already signed up on Photobucket..this afternoon. I can get my pics from my gallery to them ( i am on Vista ) Now I just have to figure out how to get them from Photobucket to the Forum. Maybe the brain needs a rest. Been on this darn thing all day !! I still dont understand why the download under new topics says I have already used 1.95 MBs. Is that a total for the month or per download ? Trial and error..I guess. But thanks so much for the help. I WILL figure this out !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railfreak78 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 All you have to do is keep both sites up. Forum and Photobucket. Once you upload your pic to photobucket then run your mouse over the picture and it will automatically pop up a menu under the picture. You scroll to the last thing on saying Image URL and right click it. Copy it and then go to the forum post and right click "paste" There ya go!

OK railfreak...thanks for tryin to help...when I run my mouse over the pic. this is what I get....In a box....Share(at the top) under it.....Email&IM....Direct Link....HTML code....IMG code...and under it in blue.....Link options. Out next to each one of those is a box. When I right click on HTML or the others, it highlights the boxes next to them. When I right click LINK OPTIONS, it shows a page with pretty much the same. Have I cofused you yet ? Which one do you think I need to click. There is no URL. Forum post ? Do I start a new topic ? Where does it go ? Putting decals on Jimmies car so I will chek back again or just go for it and see what happens. thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaughn Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 the one called IMG code or "IMG for bulletin board or forums" (make sure you get the full size image you should be able to just copy it there and then paste it here and it will be a picture heres one now (since were on the topic of nascar) I finally figured it was the IMG and tried it yesterday and posted one picture of a 48 ford. I thought I had copied several and pasted but when it appeared on the forum it was only the last one I copied. Now to figure out how to post several pictures of one car on the same post ? Thanks so much for your help and to the others also. Finished the decals and will put a clear coat on today and maybe by race time I will have in on the forum. Still have alot to learn on this site. So many decals...but its over. thanks again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
