    I've got lots of Buick parts I will be selling in the coming days-weeks. Some new TA stuff, including a new timing cover, new TA headers, lifter girdle, Poston Girdle pan, Girdled block machined by TA ready to build, used B4B, lots of rods and pistons, , new Unilight for BB, older cam grinds, 300 SB parts that includes new finned valve covers, aluminum intake, new +30 pistons and rings, and more. I've got a very good set of A body hubs, aluminum drums and complete brakes ready to bolt on. Several complete engines, including a 76 BB that was running well when pulled this winter. Many BOP T-400's. Everything will be BLOW OUT priced. I've got an I-Phone and home PC, but have NEVER been able to figure out how to post pictures. (Which is required to sell anything on this board) I could use some quick advice, if you can send a narrative paragraph or two, my email is jimpflepsen@gmail.com. Once I can post pictures, parts are for sale. If you are inclined to buy a small hoard of Buick stuff cheap in one purchase, send me a message and we can talk about delivery to BG this year or I'm in Minnesota for pickup. Thanks, Jim P

    The easiest way to post pictures, is to get yourself a "Photobucket" account.
    Once you create your own account, you can "Upload" your pictures from your phone, and computer. If you get the app on your phone, it can back your picture up automatically, if you select that option. (Do it, it's easy)

    Ok...so now you have a picture backed up to your photo bucket account, and you want to put it on this, or any other web-site...

    Select the picture.....it will then become the main picture on the page, with a bunch of options on the right side of the page.

    Tap on the "IMG" link for the picture, and "Select-all", and then "Copy" the link.

    Go to the forum, post your for sale item, and then tap on the screen, and "Paste" the link.
    Now for the picture to show up, you should remove some of the garbage text...here is an example:


    Now the picture will show up!

    Scroll down to the bottom of a new post page, and select "Manage Attachments". There is a selection for uploading them from your PC. Upload pics and then when you post, attach them. I prefer this method because I don't want to have the images disappear after whatever platform that was used goes TU.

    Thanks for all the advice on "posting". I'm not much of a computer guy.

    6455, per board rules, I would say that I probably posted on the wrong page, asking for advice on pictures and I did not post parts. When I post a full list, and pictures....this stuff will be for sale with prices. Sorry...I'll follow the rules as best I can and get this stuff to the board soon. JP
