    My New Winch and First Load

    Well I got my winch installed and picked up my first load. It was great it to longer to strap down than to load. This 17000# Driver worked like a champ. Thank God!

    You can upload them or use a host service like Imageshack, or Photobucket. Both are very easy to use. You'll have to upload them to IS/PB also. You can also add them as attachments if you so desire through the forums here. I think there is info in the faq on doing such.

    I usually put the pics in an album on Facebook
    Then you open the picture in that album on facebook
    Right click on it
    Then "Copy Image Location"

    Ok Then here on the SMF in your reply box here look up where you have the "Insert Image" button- Click It
    Then Control V you will paste the image location in there from your FB
    Hit reply down below here and poof- picture of the winch in all its glory to share!

    My wife has issues trying to do certain things with her iPhone as well, may have the same issue with a tablet? I've never used one.. and my cell phone still isn't a touch screen.. so I do MUCH better with a boring old desktop 'puter!

    When I have a question I either Google up the answer or look on YouTube. Never been let down. There's a difference depending on whether you have Internet Explorer or other servers. I use Shutterfly myself to store the pics and it tells how to find the URL and then copy/paste like Sledge explained.

    Ocedy, here's a link that was helpful to me. Pay particular attention to Step 6 as there's a difference depending on what system you have. I use Shutterfly to store pics.

    Left click on the picture then rt. click direct link. It should say copied. Open up your SMF thread, click insert image (third) box from right, click edit, paste, and magic. You will not see your picture until you click post quick reply. Good luck.

    I think there's a rotate option in photobucket not sure though.

    How does it work? Do you have leads running from your battery all the way down yoru truck to the winch?
