New to this forum but not new to metalwork and welding. When I figure out how to post photos I'll post some up.
Lots of variety of work which keeps me interested.
I'll post if I think it will help, if it's interesting or if I think I can get a laugh out of someone.
Looks like I need to figure out the avatar thing also. :oops:

Hi Ernie.

Welcome. You add photos by hitting the "upload attachment" tab under the dialog box. This will enable you to add a pic from your files.

I'm having a hard time inserting an avatar! I have a file in Adobe Photoshop sized down to 120 pixels X 116 pixels and it keeps coming back with must be within 0-48 KiB, (or something like that). What is Kib? and how do I cahange? I used if before without issue but that doesn't mean I know what I'm doing! :oops: Any tips for doing this?

I did my in the paint program for windows. Open file in paint and hit the resize button. Pick pixels, type the size in and save as jpeg.

I think the avatar had something to do with the way it was made in a graphics program. I took a picture of it from a granite plaque I made, fixed it up, cropped it and sized it in Photoshop and it finally worked.

Thanks Mike and others for the welcome!

I guess photos stack up on the bottom of a post? Is there a limit per post on photos?

No problem mate. I don't think there is a limit. We've had some quite detailed picture essays on posts before.
