G...for the pics...they need to be resized to approx 640X480 after which you can upload them to your personal gallery here on the board(U knew U had one didn't U) after that it is a simple matter to post them in a thread...you cannot post them directly from your PC to a thread...

Madjack, can you upload numerous pics at the same time, or do you have to do itpic by pic? (Very time consuming)...

M/Jack ... Man , that sure is a lotta' work , especially for a computer DUMMY like me....and I never could find any "enclose pic "(or whatever) button ... I think my old Mac doesn't show everything for some reason .... I'll try that,Thanks Jack !!!

Consuted the "High Exaulted One ", and she wants a main door and an escape door... I showed her the BIG roof vent 26x26 but she said she was too old to go throught the roof at 54 .... a small door on the opposite side is the easiest , ... Hmmm, WOMEN !!! :?

Pic by pic... but it goes quite fast actually... And most people don't have "THAT" many pics to upload...

...John, I found that if you resize to 640x480 and save at 72 dpi, that the pics upload pretty fast............. 8)

Also, when you're saving it as a jpeg, you should be able to adjust the quality setting. (Depends on your program, though.)

So if you see a quality option, choose "medium" and not "best." That will really bring the file size down, and you won't see much of a difference.

I'm on a dial-up at home too (Mac too), and no problem uploading, as long you're under the size Jack said. Totally painless, and it gives you a minute to grab a beer while the file is uploading.

Dang!! A minute? :thumbdown:

Push the button and its uploaded, not even enough time to think about getting a beer. :beer:

Oh you poor folks...

You're right, Rob…

But with the money I save at home from just cheap dial-up, I can afford more BEER!

The solution ... beer while you're uploading ...eh ?
Found some nice windows on E-Bay , a Frank /Bear somebody in Pa.... anyone delt with him before... ??? Prices /bids seemed promising ...

Got the frame parts all laid out for the half -lap cutting ... What a project ... with no Overarm saw/dado , schmaybe' a router , but I have 28 laps to do ...

Got a small porta potty at the Wally World.... The boss lady will enjoy it .... I will have to carry a spare tree...hahahahaha

GPW.

If you have a lot of repetitious laps to cut, why not make a jig and use your router?

What kind of topper are you getting?

I have a Silverado too, long bed, but I'm not a big fan of how the truck looks with a hard topper on.
