This post is intended as a simple tutorial of how to post pictures to the site. These suggestions work with a PC, but not sure how this will transfer to a Mac.
Feel free to add any other suggestions or tricks to the thread, and I'll bring them into the first post below. some suggestions as to how to manipulate pictures in your own files would be welcome.
thanks, Mark

Here's a relatively simple step by step guide to posting a single picture in a reply. The same process also works in a new topic.
NEW Updated 4/3/2020
In your reply or post box click on the "Attach Image(s)" button,
Your desktop files appear. Choose the file(s) where your picture is stored from the left column. File will often automatically open to the most recent used.
Click on the image(s) or file(s). Image or file will highlight and show in the File name: box.You can select multiple images at a time if desired.
Click on the "Open" button when you have the right file selected,
Your file is transferred and appears along with the size under "Attached files",
Click on [Insert]to the lower right,
CP popup "Insert?" appears. Click the OK button,
Image will appear in your text box,
Submit if correct,
One hint is that images are best sized no larger in file size than 600 KB. Any larger and they will be too large for most display settings.
One trick; If you need more room in your text box, click on the expand button on the toolbar. It can make it far easier to compose a text and image post,
Below is how the older page system used to work,
Click Reply...
Click on the "Attach Images"box...
Click on the "Brouse" button in the file upload window....
Your local drive search window will come up. Find the location on your PC of your picture files, I keep most of mine in "Cars to flickr". Click on your known location when found...
The file location appears. Choose a picture, and double click on the file you want to upload, or click once on the file, then click the "Open" button...
The file you chose is inserted into a file upload box...
Click the "Upload Files" button at the bottom....
File transfers. Upload complete, wait for screen to fade back to normal... Click "Insert"
Popup appears, click "Ok" if ready to insert a single picture...if not click "Cancel" and brouse for more
Your picture appears in the body of your message....
Click on "Submit" when your message is complete.
Cheers, Mark

Given my lack of computer talents, I just get Carl427 to post mine for me! I think I'd have much better luck if I ATE the paste and THEN tried to copy it! LOL!
And if you want to take it one step farther, click "insert" before you post it. You will see the word "insert" in brackets in the area under the reply box.

That is a beautiful machine you have there, cant wait to see and hear more. Your husband bought you that!!?? I can only assume he has a nicer one? My first thought was either you have the best husband, or he did something REALLY bad. Seriously though, you came to the right place if you want to learn about it. It is a fabulous rare piece of Canadian Automotive history and art!
p.s. you would likely get much better exposure and feedback in the "new members" or "members rides: sections! (and more pictures and history would be great)

Hi, I'm new to this site and not very good at directions, especially computer directions so I'll have my wife post more pics later...I'm lucky I made it this far!
Here is a picture of my '68 Beaumont, it has a 502, a 700 R4, automatic and a 12-bolt posi. Also a picture of my son's '72 Pontiac Ventura with 56,000 original miles.
