I know how to do it, but I only do it if I have to. (And I didn't download the pic to my computer.)
Doesn't it take extra bandwith from their site when you post-link the photo instead of a regular link, which costs $$$?

Re: 273 4 barrel car at Brainard - 08/15/09 12:13 AM

I didn't download it ?

I right clicked on the pic, and copied the link in the pic and posted it ..

Bandwidth ..well, the site has about 2 zillion sponsors and each hit adds money to the admin's pocket so its a wash ..

I meant download/save on my computer, then post it on the thread from there. With a "link to" instead of the actual pic, the source site would get more "hits".

But don't mind me, I'm just being a little nit-picky.

Myron, I did not download the pic or save it ..

I simply gave this website a way to connect to the place where the pic is posted ..No more no less

Its like linking to a photobucket acct ..

Just flying in to watch and hopefully get some issues resolved with my dads car. Need to get out of the heat for a week or so. My ride has outdated belts, and will probably need slicks. Already a pretty good chunk of change just to get to the track. I won't spend the $$ until I know I'm in a position to use the stuff more than a couple times a year. Who knows when/if that will happen.
