I have seen a few comments lately about differculty posting photos to FTP
I normally email or PM this to those having differculty, but will put it here for now.

To load photos or pictures onto Fordson Tractor pages (FTP), you need to load them onto a photo hosting website. Photobucket http://photobucket.com/ is the most popular, or you can use imageshack, but I’ll talk about Photobucket (PB), as that’s what I use normally. If you don’t belong to PB, just register and follow the instructions.
If you already belong to PB, and have pictures on PB, then it is easy to put them onto FTP.

To post photos/pictures onto FTP, I have 2 pages open on my computer screen. One on FTP, with a post started, and the other page open on PB and logged in.
When you know which photo you want to post to FTP, double click on it and it will open in an enlarged photo with a box named "share this image"
You can either use a "direct link" which will be just that, a link, or you can use the "IMG code" which will post the photo directly to your post. This is the preferred method. Highlight the box next to the "direct link" or "IMG code" Once it is highlighted, left click on the desired code, the code will then change to ‘copied’, then go over to the FTP page, click where you want the photo, right click and click paste, and that should be all done. Only the picture code will appear in your post as you are writing it. The picture will appear when you submit the post to FTP.
Good Luck
I had to get help the first time. It may take a few goes to remember it though.
There could be other ways also, but this is what I find works for me.
It’s worth mastering, as it makes such a difference to answering questions.
Let me know how you go.

Hope this helps.

This site will let you upload without registering

640 pixels wide is a good choice.
Dead simple! Only works with a few sites, but FTP is one of them.

No, just cleared some scrub on my block (3.5 acres) to grass it up for the horses. Got the bulldozer into clear it, and then just burnt it off later.
Come on trevthetractor, lets see your tractor, or atleast if your posting works
