I can't count the number of times I have posted info on how to post pictures here and have read other posts giving details on how to post them. I just did a quick search on "posting pictures" and found plenty of info on the subject. Plus there is info in FAQ on how to post pictures. I am 70 and do not consider myself a computer expert. I feel like if I can learn anyone can learn but you just gotta take that first step. There is also a test forum here where you can practice posting pictures to your hearts content. Give it a try.

Re: digital camera
So now that I have a newly created ALBUM with some easily uploaded pictures (took maybe three clicks?) I was trying to figure out how to add them to a posting.
Finally went to the FAQ section up above and read the part about albums and pictures. It said I can use the BB text underneath the picture. Not knowing what that was, I went into my FordBarn album and clicked on a picture. When it opened to full size there were two lines of text underneath it. One said it was BB code (whatever that is) and started out with the letters IMG...kind of like IMAGE. I hovered my mouse over it and copied the whole line. Then I went into a thread and hit 'paste' and this is what I got. Easy - peasy |

Re: digital camera
Could be me, and I'm youngerish. I do not believe you can change the price in the title. Therefore if I think I will over time, drop the price, I do price in ad.
A hint on the photos, it helps if you set you camera for small files in the menu. Most issues seem to be from when he file is too big.

Re: digital camera
The price can be changed in the price box.

I routinely see '35-'36 spindles advertised as '42-'42 square-backs, '37-'41 axles advertised as A or deuce axles, '42-'48 axles advertised as dropped axles, '57+ F-100 brakes advertised as '53-'56 F-100 brakes, ETC. Obviously, you still need to do your research; but a picture at least shows what you're considering. |

Re: digital camera
No, ended up with a job interview instead(which is a good thing). I have it in the cue for the model A restorer I rent space with. When he gets done I will be able to drive it anywhere.

Re: digital camera
I recently drove 250 miles one way only to find the seller didn't know what he had but was absolutely insistent on what he was selling was accurate. He had his daughter post an ad but they couldn't post or send pictures. I guess I didn't ask the right questions but people tend to get pissed at you when you do.
I have worked with computers and software for over 30 years and found the software that runs this site to be very confusing for posting pictures. Mainly because you have to go into "Go Advanced" mode to attach the pics. I could see someone thinking "I am certainly not Advanced" plus there is the Icon that says Insert image but is really "Insert URL or weblink". A second challenge is newer digital cameras create a very large file(lots of pixels) by default that some site software or network connections will not allow to upload. So that means you have to have a way to "resize" the picture down. I find a file size around 300KB or about 800x400 pixels usually works for most sites. But I would spend a lot of money based on a picture of that quality. |

Re: digital camera
I think the price change issue or not posting the price in the box is a carry over from the HAMB where you CAN NOT change the price in the box after posting the ad. The Ford Barn allows price changes in the box.

Re: digital camera
You do have to "Go Avanced" to change the heading or price.

Re: digital camera
Because descriptions are often mis-representative of the actual item condition or otherwise incorrectly described. Usually one can tell immediately from a photo whether the item is worth further inquiry or purchase.
MOST all of the questions people ask have been answered in the "Questions & Suggestions" section near the bottom of the main forum listing. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=12 This page, in particular, is one that should be read: https://www.fordbarn.com/are-ya-lost

Re: digital camera
If your photo is in a file folder on your desk top then it is very easy. Go to "Go Advanced" then click on "manage attachments". Then go to the box that pops up and click on the "browse" button. The browse button will give you a "file to upload" prompt. Go to this and find the folder where your photos are stored. Open that folder and click on the photo you want. Then click "Upload" and wait. When the photo is successfully uploaded the browse button will no longer contain the photo info and that info will appear on the go advance window above the "manage attachments" button. Then click on "submit reply" and your photo will be up.

Re: digital camera
Very few of my pics will ever post. If they are resized then half the detail is left out.
