Pete, when posting your message did you click on ATTACH A FILE, then hit the BROWSE button and scroll through your filing system (in the window that then opened up)?

And when you selected the jpg image in the window, did the image then appear (in thumbnail form) on your screen, before you clicked on POST COMMENT?

oldhudsons

OK Jon, have done the "Attach a File" 1st, now I'll hit post comment.

oldhudsons

it won't upload it

oldhudsons

it loads & looks great on Facebook, shouldn't be so damn complicated here.

oldhudsons

if you right click on the "image" it says "Show Picture", click on that & nada - not going to waste more time with it, off to breakfast, LOL

Pete, the file is a .jpg, right? Hmmmm...

you might want to try out the new HET forum, that seems a bit more user friendly. Then you could leave a message here, ushering folks over to your photo in the "new room"

Thats one of the reasons I like to use Facebook and the new Forum, photos are so much easier to deal with.

Jon - I just posted some more photos of HETs I've owned & will now start adding photos of other of which I have at least 100 already in PC.

Once you've posted a photo on-line, anywhere, you can post a link to it here. I'm not sure the linked photo itself would appear here, but folks can click on the link and be taken to the photo.

Jon - I have a gob of photos on my "album" at google/picasa/Pete's Hudson Pics but don't know how to "drag" link to here. Someone did it once in here but I AIN'T PC literate enough to do that ~

Pete-

Here is the link to Pete's photos:

RL - OK, I give up, how does one do that?????

oldhudsons

for those of you who might be interested I just posted to it several photos of the only one I've ever heard of or seen, a '38 H-T panel delivery. A guy posted in Facebook that it will be brought to the San Mateo National for sale - it has languished up in California's Gold Rush Country for decades.

Pete:

Simple:

Go to the webpage you want to "link". In the "address window" which is the white block at the tippy-top of the page, you will see the URL gibberish (starts "http/www/ blah blah blah..." )

Place your cursor to the left or right of the gibberish. Hold down the LEFT button on your mouse. Now, slide cursor all the way to the left so that the entire line of gibberish is highlighted. (There are other ways to do this as well) You can release the button now.

With the whole line highlighted, click the RIGHT button and a little window opens up with some menu choices. (Doesn't matter where you hold the cursor on the screen, to do this.) When it opens, put cursor over "COPY" and LEFT-CLICK mouse.

Now go to the page where you want to deposit this link. (Like this forum, for example.) There is no rush...your computer "remembers" the link you just copied.

Place your cursor in the text box (or wherever you want the link to appear and RIGHT click again. The menu box appears again. LEFT-click PASTE.

Voila!

Take you about 5 second to copy, 2 seconds to paste. Any guy that handled the finances of the entire HET Club for years, AND restored as many cars as you (not to mention other distinguishments) has NO excuses, LOL!

Easy! Just like everything on this new site. It just needed a five paragraph explanation. I go to other car sites, like the hamb, and I don't even need an explanation! You can figure it out, straight forward.
Just silly. Then when the pictures do go up here they open a new window and you can't scrole through several pictures. You have to open each and every one individually. Just dumb the way it's set up!

Thank you Pete, for the photo album..I have it bookmarked and refer to it often..Great pics.

oldhudsons

Car- TY, have a lot more to add.

Jon B

Okay, it is true: this particular car site is NOT particularly user-friendly. We are indebted to Classiccar for hosting a Hudson forum (and, sadly, a chatroom that is no longer) for many years. But we have to take what they give us.

That's why we have started the new, more user-friendly H-E-T forum (part of the new H-E-T website). I hope everyone has registered for that. I expect this Classiccar site to remain alive and well patronized for years and years, but it should be comforting to know that there is another forum, run by and for Hudsonites, where you can always go if you get frustrated here.

With the new HET club website we are now covered if ClassicCar decides to go on holiday again as it has several times in the past. We are indebted forever to those who have spent so much time in designing and building the HET site. I concur with the other Mr. B - the new HET site is very user friendly, especially the Photo Gallery (and there are tons of pictures on that already. And joining/renewing is a snap. Only problem I had renewing was I forgot my password (I only use PayPal once or twice a year) which is no big deal. It was a tad more complicated to renew my password than it was to get my renewal done.
