Go to your photo account and open the picture you want to post.

Right click on it. Go down to where it says "Properties" and left-click on it.  In the window that opens up, copy the part that says "Address: (URL)"

Open your reply window here. Click on the little "tree" icon at the top of it, next to the smilie face.

Put you cursor in the little window at the top and backspace out the "http://" that's in there.

Right-click in the little window and select "paste".  THe URL will appear in there.  Then left click on the "Insert" button at the bottom of the reply window.  You'll see the URL appear in the field with the "Image" commands at each end. It'll look kinda like this:

Keep in mind that you MUST remove the "http://" from the window at first.  You can only have ONE "http://" in the URL address in the reply window.

Click "Preview" to check your work.

Then either click "edit" to return to the reply window, or "Post" if you're done...

Fly-n-hi _ I would post pics if # 1 I knew how and #2 if I could get someone to write it down so I would remember it . I have tried to set up photobucket for the two sites I go too .NO LUCK . Suffice it to say, this is what I meant . If your model,s sides sag inward use the plastic recommended and glue this at right angles to the area ,You may have to clamp the ship down to the tabletop and then insert your brace at a 90 degree angle clear of any deck locators ,etc. This as simple as I can explain it .     tankerbuilder

 Have you opened that large ship kit to find a warped hull or badly sunk in sides ? This method will definitely help . This comes to you as a courtesy of --TANKERBUILDER , you know , the ship nut .!!! Take 1/8 " EVERGREEN SHEET ( it,s 18x24) cut strips 1/4 inch wide and glue edge on (inside the hull , and out of the way of any decks etc ).After its ,dry your caved in side should be straight assuming, you braced the hull and part well until dry . Till dry does not mean 6 hours It means a full 48 hours!! this gives the glue time to gas out and the welded area to harden properly.You can laminate this plastic if you need a stiffer brace ,say,on the side of a large carrier or the TITANIC . For the hull seam laminate two pieces together, wait till they,re dry and place in the hull flat with the join line exactly centered . The other thing is ,DO NOT use super glue here , use only a better brand of tube glue for plastic for your laminating or gluing !! Let it dry properly and you,re all set . You a/c builders can use this material for wing main spars on those 1/48 , 1/32 , and 1/24 planes . Catcha later -----TANKERBUILDER
