Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

PB and other originally "free" photo sharing services are really un-necessary and all rely on their user base just accepting their new fees to share what is essentially not even their property...your images.

Most phones nowadays will allow the pics stored on the phone to be downloaded to a computer...usually using the charger cord that has a USB style connection on the power pack end.

For those unaware of how to do the transfer, on a Windows computer,

On your desktop, right click and choose New Folder...name the folder "pics"...
Now connect your phone to the computer by plugging the power pack end of the charger cord into a USB port on the computer. You will see two messages pop up...one on the phone asking permission to connect to the computer...just press connect or permit...and a message on the computer in a menu popup choose "open folder to view files"...
On the computer, navigate down to the images on the phone...hold down the Shift key and choose the images you want to copy from the phone to your computer,,,right click, choose Copy....

On the computer, open the "pics" folder, right click and choose Paste...the images will load to the pics folder.

Depending on your phone camera settings, the images may be too large for the site to accept...You can use the Windows included program Paint to resize your images, albeit, you need to do them one at a time.

Choose an image, right click, choose Open With, then choose Paint, choose Resize, then type in 3) and leave it as %...the image will downsize to 30 % of its original size...choose Save, then close Paint...

Do this for each image you need to resize.

To upload an image when making a post, go to Attachments option...choose the image and choose Upload...

Hope this helps out some folks...
