Better late than never! Been on this site for a few years, but have yet introduced myself. My name is Mike (another Mike!) and I have owned my 73 Sport 65R since 75... 45 years, and have dragged it around with me my entire adult life. It is my second car, as a 71 Vega was my first. We have been through a lot together, a few accidents, kids, too many wives and girlfriends to count, she has cost me a fair amount of cash, but in the end, she's worth it! Definitely a ongoing work in progress! I have learned a lot about this model Ford from everyone who posts here, and want to thank you for the education. I check in daily and try to read a couple of topics a week. Looking forward to posting some pics, and rubbing elbows with all of you here!

Welcome again, I was here years ago and have just found my way back also. I have two GT's now, 73 Ranchero's that is. My first car was a 72 Gran Torino, so I'm stuck on that front end.

Step 6 Once you click the OK button you will come back to your post window. You photo will now be inserted into the post as shown below. You can add a another photo be repeating the steps. Once you're happy with the post, you're finished. Click the "Post New Topic" or the "Post Reply" button to complete your post I click the “ok” button, and it doesn’t take me to the post window. The pics are uploaded to your server, but I just don’t get redirected to the post window. |

hmmm...so you opened the blank field screen, did you click in the upper left corner to get a curser so you can type in words or to add a pic?
i usually add my text first then drop down a level to add the pic by hitting enter on the keyboard so the pic will be below the text. if you're just adding a pic like in the next post below a prior post just click in the field to get a curser the do the tree thing ... after the pic shows there click post reply at the bottom left, i don't do the preview thing |

hey you got it! the phone does that sideways and upside down thing if you use a computer you can transfer any pics to your computer or laptop and copy them to a file folder then you can rotate the copy to post later don't rotate the original on your SD card or it will be sideways for phone use like for facebook i know i did that before

Welcome and thanks for a great intro! Your '73 is looks really nice. The photo rotation problems usually happens with cell phones. Cell phones rotate images differently than computers which is why they sometimes don't show up correctly on the forum. The easiest way to fix them is to rotate them on a computer then upload. When I have time I will fix your photos.

Sweet '73!
With the cell phone photos, try saving an auto adjust copy to the phone, then upload it too the site. That works for me. Sometimes it takes two tries.

Take two. I used a different program to rotate them this time. It was showing up okay on a PC, but not on mobile before. Now it looks okay on PC and mobile.
