Here's a screen shot of how to attach pics.
After you enter your text, click on the 'Additional Options....' and this opens up. Then just Browse and select your pics. Large files will have to be reduced.

If you are using an Ipad, you won't be able to upload pictures.  The software on this site does not support uploading pics from apple mobile devices.  Won't work from my Iphone for sure.  I have to Email them to myself, open them on my PC, save them, then I can post on the site.

Dear Robin, Walt, Brian, and 65GS.com members who are tangled up by technology,

Thank you for offer to help me on this, I use an iPad, thought I could go to my pics on file and post it but would not allow, something about a not a j peg?

If you are using an Ipad, you won't be able to upload pictures.  . . .

It certainly isn't easy, but I have sneaky scheme.  I have an iPad.  Let me make some experiments and see what I can come up with.

Do you use the built-in web browser on your iPad to access 65GS.com or do you use Tapatalk? 

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Boy... I'm sure glad I dont have to wear an ankle bracelet and an orange jumpsuit! (electronically speaking). I have a flip phone that fails at will and a desktop that runs on gerbil power. No lap-tap-app-tapp-ab-tabs 6.6.6.0.0.0. Foiled the millennials this time.  Bill

This is a test . . . . (Re: Old Buick guy newbie member)

This is a test, this is ONLY a test . . . .

I have uploaded this photo using only my iPad.  The technique needs some refinement and requires the use of Dropbox but the overall concept works.  Stay tuned for more details!

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Dear Robin and mid-60s Buick caregivers who want to share photos of their Buicks,

Okay, it took some digging, but I have a guide on how you can use your iPad to post photos of your Buick.  You'll find it here:

http://65gs.com/board/index.php/topic,4377.msg31972.html#msg31972

Let me know if that does the trick or if you still have some questions.

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Hells bells, I have been neglecting to post, but I have made some progress. Car is back from paint shop, and oh my, Arctic White is really white!  Need sunglasses to view lol.  Beautiful  overall and have been organizing parts to reassemble, tho all I’ve done is install the vents back in the kickpanels. Busy summer with road trips, Syracuse nationals, Granby Quebec show with the 70 gsx along with salmon lake Huron fishing, wedding and da rest of it. Whew.
I did get a windshield at nationals for $99.00, what a steal! And sending my oe rad for replacement aluminium to cold case, a vendor I met at Syracuse.
I will attempt to post some pictures. Tanks and will also see how to start a thread.
Gotta get it done!

Another note, I saw a 63 Le Sabre 2 door 4 speed dual quad recently while out on my trip, Morley brown owns it and he had it scripted in period correct logos and race themes by a local artist. I did not get a pic but had a super chat with him, amazing history and original car with a repaint. Have to get back and see the car met the artist and get some pics.
Gotta get it done!

Dear Robin and mid-60s Buick caregivers,

Hells bells, I have been neglecting to post, but I have made some progress. Car is back from paint shop, and oh my, Arctic White is really white!  Need sunglasses to view lol. 


Congratulations on the paint job!  However, indeed Arctic White will be hard on the eyes!  Even Seafoam Green hurts my eyes when in full sun at the some angles.


I will attempt to post some pictures.


If you are using a smart phone or tablet, these instructions might help you post pictures:

Tanks and will also see how to start a thread.


If you want to start a restoration thread, you should put it in this topic:

http://65gs.com/board/index.php/board,9.0.html

The start a new topic button is the first button the top right of the page.

Thanks for sharing!  :hello2:

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:
