ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    beginners "New Thread" posting

    I was on the beginners page to post pics of my ride and to introduce myself. I tried to follow the instructions given on the FAQ about posting attachments. I can't find where it says, "Manage Attachements". also, on the "New Thread" button, the "Insert Image" comes up with a fields that starts off with http://


    Its says on FAQ:
    How do I attach a file to a post?

    To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'. To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.

    On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'. Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments. You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page. Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.

    To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file. To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page. Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.


    Sorry for not knowing how to operate the website. I just want to follow the rules to get 30 posts so I can get more access of what the site offers and learn from the old heads about my CB7. and I know posting pics of my ride in the beginners image gallery is not considered a post. I do have questions about my ride I want to post but I want to post pics and I can't get to that point yet.

    I found a post by someone about posting pics. It focused on photo bucket. Do i need to use photo bucket?

      To upload images you require some form of image hosting. Photo bucket is what I use. Attaching files is different to photos i think.

            just tested dropbox, and no it doesn't work.

            Facebook does seem to work, but the pictures are often HUGE. It's best to use something like flickr, photobucket, or the like.
