Images and Links
[FONT=Verdana, Arial] Your photos are welcome. Man, do we all like pictures of related to this forum stuff. But help us out here. If your photo as posted hangs over the side of your computer monitor screen, well, it is too big. If you have to scroll to see it, everybody else does too. Fix it right then and there before you post another photo - please.
Copying and pasting long links here in the new forum automatically shortens them, so you don't have to learn how to use something like the URL feature on the old forum just to make a long link short so it won't scroll way accross the page.
On Edit: Sent this out to a member that said he did not know how to put a link in a post. Use it to educate as needed:

Do you know how to copy and paste on your computer?
With ebay (or other page) open, go to top of screen and you will see an address line. Every page you ever opened on your computer while on the internet has a unique address line.
Left mouse click on that line and it will turn blue.
Right mouse click and a box will open. One of the choices in that box will be "copy". Click on that.
The address line is copied to your computer.
In the thread you are typing on Practical Machinist, just left click where you want the link to appear. Right click and the little box will open again. This time, click on paste.
The link to the Ebay page (or any other) will be in your post. You will know if you did it right by it being blue when you preview or submit what you are typing. "Blue" links are "live" links.
