Title: New Member from VA
Post by: JeepFever on October 26, 2014, 08:59:46 AM: Hi . .ï¿½ Ron here from central Virginia

I joined theCJ2Apage.com a couple years ago when I started getting re-interested in old flat-fenders.ï¿½ ï¿½I have enjoyed my trail '2A for over 20 years,ï¿½ and now starting a new project, '51 CJ3A.ï¿½ I am going try to keep it as original as possible.

A photo showing it after 10-12 years waiting to become a project.

Here is a photo of it in my driveway.ï¿½ I had just cut the snowplow frame off of it.ï¿½ ï¿½It looks sad to be so beat up,ï¿½ but relieved to get that heavy frame removed. ;D

Post by: JeepFever on October 29, 2014, 12:50:36 AM: I was able to attach a photo, finally, but it is an attachment at end of post, . . how to I insert it in the body of the message?

ie. I would like to attach a dozen photos, each with a description above the photo.

There is a good post here, somewhere, with a good description on posting photos.ï¿½ For some reason, I can't find it.

Bottom line, Photobucket or similar photo hosting site is the easiest way to post multiple photos into one post.ï¿½ Photobucket is easy to work with.ï¿½

1. Join. It's free.
2. Uploaded you photos to Photobucket.ï¿½
3. Start a new post here at the 3A.
4. On photbucket they give you a few choices on the type of file you want to use.ï¿½ Choose the picture from your album.ï¿½ ï¿½Choose the "IMG" option (when you click the IMG code box, it will automatically copy the image code).ï¿½ Go back to your post at the 3A.ï¿½ Right click to "paste" the code.ï¿½ Push the "Preview" button below the message box to confirm the photo or photos shows up.

5. Repeat the copy photo / paste photo as many times as you like.

Note: Things change a little depending on if you are using a PC vs. an IPad.ï¿½ Some of us have found that you have to delete part of the image code to post more than 3 photos.ï¿½ This is only true when I use my PC.ï¿½ If you run into this issue, keep all code that is between [IMG] and [IMG]...including the [IMG]s.ï¿½ Delete all code between [URL] and [URL]...including the [URL] at both ends of this portion of the code.ï¿½ It sounds more complicated than it is.ï¿½ Once you see the photo code it will make perfect sense.

Hopefully I'm helping.ï¿½ I really want to see lots of photos.ï¿½ We all do.

Earlier today I was looking thru the '3A site, and came across your tub building thread. . . wow, great info!

While viewing the thread, I noticed that your write-up looks like what I am hoping to do (photos embedded in text), and your photos come from links to PhotoBucket . . I decided that I might give that a try . . . you just confirmed that it might be best option. :)

Looks like you mastered the Photobucket!

Thanks for looking at my build thread.ï¿½ There certainly have been some challenges.

Your 3A looks like it might need a patch here or there, but for me, these are the really fun ones to watch.ï¿½ Looking forward to your build.

Timï¿½
