As we quite often get asked how to post photos on the forum here's a quick guide. First of all please try and use our gallery to host your photos as it means they will stay on the forum. It's a pain when people move them or delete them from photobucket or facebook as we end up with broken images.

1) how to upload to the gallery: Click on the Gallery tab (seen here in red) and click on upload photos (circled in red)

2) Select the category for your photo: Is it from a show, meet or is it just photos of you car. There's a category for all

3) select your files for upload: Click on the button circled in red and it will take you to a page where you can select your photos. You can choose multiple ones by holding the Ctrl key and clicking on all the files you want to upload. The shift key can also be used if you're selecting multiple photos that are beside each other.

4) Once selected click Upload/Submit. your pc will chug away uploading them and tell you when it's finished (see above Upload/Submit button)

5) You will then be taken to a page where you can choose to add a title to your picture. This is purely optional and I rarely do so. Hit Process and that's your photo uploaded to the gallery

6) Posting gallery pictures on the forum: Go to the gallery and click on the picture you want to post. Right click on the picture and select Copy image URL

7) Go to the thread where you want to post the picture and click on the button circled in read in the quick reply box. It should say Insert Image when you hover your mouse over it.

8) You will then get a page like this and then all you have to do is paste in the URL and hit Ok and your picture will appear. And that's it :)
