There is no easy way to post a msg or pix. It is very frustrating and I have searched other threads for the secrets.

The Ford-Trucks dot com site makes it real easy.

This brings up two buttons on the bottom of the window I am typing in.

I click on where it says "Upload Attachments" and I browse my computer to find the file I wish to upload.
Once I have the file or files uploaded I put the cursor in the text where I want the pic to be and click one of the options for size.

One thing that adds confusion is there is an issue with posting pictures taken in landscape mode with your iPhone. The software running this forum doesn't recognize the orientation the same way that Apple does. In fact, the way Apple does it is weird but sites like Facebook have figured it out.

I always have to edit my iPhone pictures to get them rotated correctly for this forum.

I don't blame this forum software - it's clearly an Apple problem - but it is something of which to be aware.

The other issue is there is a max size picture that can be uploaded - I think it's 2Mb. So I always have to spend time playing with my pics to upload - either resizing or editing to orient.

Good point Bill
I usually pull it into paint and resize to 25%.
Can rotate at well if it is needed.

Thank ya'll for your help. I used a combination of Art and Adam's suggestions. It works and I need a lot more practice because it ain't easy.

The hole pix, top below, was the result of construction debris on US 412 just west of Paragould, AR. It was my very first trip to get the "feel" of my AF. The debris also got my windshield. Progressive was great, but they wanted to write it up so as to remove the outer skin, to include the door frame and door. The whole bottom section would be replaced. I didn't want to have that done because it may not have gone together exactly as it came out, especially the door frame. I looked at other options and decided to cover the hole with a marker light. Progressive was happy because I withdrew my claim. The wires were tied into the rear clearance light and it was successful. Looking at it again, I wish I had set it up to blink with the directional like the big trucks. hole.jpg
To match the marker light on the driver's side showed poor planning. I put it on the slide, exactly across from the hole covering light. but wiring the light to accommodate the slide was a challenge. I wired it off the hole cover light. I finally found 2 cigarette lighter cell phone chargers with coiled wires. I cut the ends off, replaced them with connectors, hooked up and opened and closed the slide several times. It worked, but will require frequent inspections.

The connection coils are shown below dangling a bit under the slide. They move with the coil wire to the slide motor. I'm using this pix to overcome some embarrassment at placing the marker on the slide.

wow! Evidently I was more successful with Art and Adam's suggestions. I have plenty of picture now.
