<p>[QUOTE="Hommer, post: 2976848, member: 73266"]There used to be a thread on how to post a thread and post photos and I'm sure it's still around, I added to it once on how to post from a smart phone. As I recall, the thread was getting outdated a little with the software that is currently used on PCs and I would like to show how easy it really is for those who are having problems creating and uploading photos to your post. A photo is worth a thousand words, and no one wants to read a grand, they had rather hold it.</p><p><br /></p><p>First you have to be logged in to your account.
