2. Thread Content
Please be courtious to other members, by posting in a "Normal Writing", where some attention has been paid to Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar.

3. Images
When posting photographs / images of vehicles, wherever from, please make sure you blank out their Registration Plate. You can do this by using a multitude of image editing software. If you are technically not capable of doing so, please contact Matt, who will be able to help you do this. Larger images will be automatically scaled down on the site, to maintain the layout of the site, but the file size will not be reduced.
All members have the ability to use our Upload Picture
facility, which will automatically generate a thumbnail of the image(s) to the optimum size for viewing on the forum. The image(s) will be stored on our server, and give you the option to place the uploaded image into the post as an attachment. If a thumbnail has been generated, it will become clickable to show the full size image in a new window. The maximum file size which can be uploaded before is 5MB. Because the images are saved as unique attachments in the individual post, there is no option to post these images elsewhere in the forum, you will have to upload the image again in any further posts. Full instructions on how to use this can be located here.
