Here's the text

 

These simple steps come from an earlier post by Cooperbeagle, which is located here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...mp;topic=18993

They're repeated below so you don't have to look for them, but the credit goes to him and his son for teaching me how to do it.:

1. Get you pic into your computer as a jpeg. Size it SMALL! (1.5 inches wide)
2. IN NAM, go to Member Minis and click on [add photos]
3. Select [one] as your number of pics to load.
4. Click Browse and find your pic and select it.
5. When your pic's location is shown in the box, click [upload now]
6. After the short wait, go to the last of the pages of pics and your pic should be there as a thumbnail.
7. Click on your pic and it will display large.
8. Right click on your pick and then select [properties]
9. Your URL will be shown, highlight it leaving off the "http://"
10. Right click while the URL is highlighted and select [copy]
11. Now go to the thread on which you want to post.
12. After you've typed the copy you want, select the [image] button below the copy box.
13. In the box provided, right click and then select [paste]
14. Now, check to see if your URL has the words "minicooperonline", if so, replace this with "northamericanmotoring".
15. Click [OK] and then upload your post by clicking on [submitt]

The only addition I would make is that when you go to paste the URL, (step 10) be sure the "http://" isn't highlighted before you paste because if it is, it will disappear when you paste , and the photo won't upload. That's what happened to me. A left click before you paste unhighlighted the ""http://" and it worked every time thereafter.

Happy posting.

Thanks for the great instructions guys! I've been here almost a year and still haven't had time to figure it out. (...I'm old, too! ) I also have no pics, but ya never know!!!

Let me know as soon as you are successful. I can't even figure out how to size the photos before I upload them. They will be humongous the way they are now.

There are a couple of ways to downsize the photos. If you have Windows XP, you can email the photos to yourself if they are in My Pictures. There's a feature on the (left side of) Menu that ask if you want to make the pictures smaller when you send it.

I think you can also right-click on a photo and go to Properties and re-size the photo by going to the Size tab, then make it 1.5 in wide. The height should adjust automatically. Click on OK. Then go to File and save the photo in it's new configuration. Then follow the upload process to NAM which is posted above,

You were able to copy the url at the bottom of your post. I took off the "www:NAM" and the trick of it is to add img with [ ] around it and the same thing right after but a / before the img after. Can't show you exactly because we would wind up with an image box with nothing in it. The two img things must be done I have found by trial and error.

Nice MINI!

Regards,
Red
