If you have not already figured it out, FordMuscle's new forum software allows you to attach images to your posts. This does not require that you have your image hosted on the internet nor does it require a FordMuscle subscription.
Figure 1 - The "Manage Attachments" Button
When posting a reply or starting a new thread, simply click the "Manage Attachments" button shown in the screen below. You can upload a .jpg file (most common format) that is less than 195kb and no more that 1600 pixels wide. We've found that images around 500 pixels wide are just fine for viewing and also load fast. Your image or images will appear as clickable thumbnails at the bottom of your post.

Need help downsizing or cropping your photos? There's no need to download software or unbundle the CD that came with your digital camera. Just go to the link above and browse your own computer, upload your photo, and use their simple interface to reduce the size of your image. This sample shows an image being reduced to a 500 pixel wide image. Again, that's an ideal size for forums usage. When done, you just save it to your own computer. Your image is now ready for attaching as explained in the section above.
