a neat online photo editor. could be handy if anyone doesn't have anything better than MS Paint.
after using that on all you Datsun 510 pictures, post them here!

Upload to the 510 Realm
the best way to include images here seems to be to upload them on the the site here.
it then creates a clickable thumbnail to see the larger full size image.
I'm not sure of the upload file size limit. I always thought it was around 120KB, but I just uploaded an image over 500KB...
the downsize is only three per post, but you can always make more posts.
once the file is the right size, it is a simple, straight forward solution.
select the 'Upload Attachment' tab.
this must be a .jpg image. (this can alo be a few other, non image formats, like a .pdf or .doc., i believe)
to add the picture into the middle of your post, 'Place Inline'.
if you uploaded the wrong one, the 'Delete File' is there too.
adding a comment can also give the image just a title, or an in depth description, or even a question.
- comments end up here.
Linking to Pictures off-site
the other way of including an image, is to link to another site using the [ img ] & [ /img ] tags.
this is useful if you want to use the images elsewhere, or use an online photo host for many reasons.
the downside to this method and this site, is the constant size of the forum.
there is no resizing, as the site never uploads the images.
the image size is then your responsibility.
this image shows the limited width... about 670px (pixels) wide, though the length/height is unaffected.
for 510 related photos, I highly recommend the PhotoPost at Datsun510.com
this site automatically resizes the images to a smaller viewable version:
as well as keeping the original version:
you can see here, the original is too large and gets cut off, where the resized version fits, as it is down to 600px.
(this works too, with various work arounds that we all have discovered. but is a small hassle. I prefer to use Firefox and 'View Image' which then works like a thumbnail. just don't forget to go Back, and not close the window, to continue reading the Realm)
to use any off-site image, place the web location:
(http://www.yadayadayada.com/something/picturefile.jpg)
between the IMG tags:
to find this location, right click on the image and select 'View Image' (in Firefox) or 'Properties' (Firefox or Internet Explorer).
copy and paste into your post, and add the IMG tags.
to get really fancy, one could use the URL tags as well to utilize both sizes.
example for above images:
click on image for full size...
replace with your file locations and voila!the code for above wrote:
click on image for full size...
