21CT55 Screen-Shot Test

I have a Photobucket account. Can view my images. The embed fix does not work for me, using IOS. Can’t see you images here. Found your account, no new photos there.

Get a Flickr account. It is what I switched to when my photo bucket filled (which was shortly before the hosting ransom BS started).

With Flickr I can upload photos, find them in my Flickr account click photo, click the 'share' arrow (select BB code once and it will remember to use it), select the desired image size to embed here, copy the BB code from there to here and done.

My flickr pictures are all clickable to full rez versions. Being able to select size has it's advantages too. I can have a large screen filling picture to show detail/for dramatic effect, I can select midsize images and (with some pruning of their BB code) have 4 mid size images side by side on a page (great for screenshots, chassis pictures, and process progress sequences), or I can have a teeny tiny thumbnail for when I've got a tangentially related pic I don't want to distract from the main subject.

To illustrate a picture of my 21CT55 (and other sets):
There are bigger smaller and many inbetween sizes too, but this should give you the idea.

Shelves, Tom. You need shelves.

About %50 of my wall space down there is shelves (filled ones)...The rest is mostly consoles (usually stacked to the ceiling). I can't find cheap shelves that can fit a console below and take the weight....I don't really have the cash either (got yelled at for spending $40 at an estate sale last week). That island of goodies has shifted all over the place, and organization has radically shifted down there since that pic was taken. A couple piles of small stuff has been shelved since.

I've got a LOT of goodies squirreled away down there...The two or three collectors I've shown my 'laboratory'/'dungeon of things that don't fit my display space' to all had similar reactions along the lines of 'Wow you've got so much! My mind is having trouble taking it all in'... It really makes ya feel proud of your hoard when you have more stuff in one place than fellow collectors can readily process.

Heck, better than half my stuff ain't never been spoken of here before, and much of that has not been seen in photos either....If I ever decided to leave the hobby I could host a 1 vendor swapmeet with my inventory.

Tom....I have completely forgotten I have Flickr since 2010!. So now I have most of the good 21ct55 screen shots already on my XP computer. Now all I have to do is learn how to use Flickr to upload any new stuff. I will now attempt to upload new stuff to VideoKarma using Flickr. I've also got old cars: '54 Olds Healey, '56 Chevy 210, '70 GTO 400. Come for a visit 805 688 8701.

Sampson.......I lost all sent car forum jpgs when pos Photobucket did its ransum
money grab. I will now have to upload any car photos using VK Car forum. I have
to learn uploading to PhotoTrail or Flicker photo hosting, both seem painful.

Just a thought as the FCC is so hell bent on ending Net Neutrality in the foreseeable after 12/14/17, the hosting of photos from any 3rd party site may well all become user pays to link content to sites like VK, is there any contingency plans to host photos on VK if any other photo hosting site goes the route of Photobucket and demands big $$$ to post content on other sites?

Move the site to a host in Canada... Host the pictures on another or same server in Canada. Remember all of this when you vote in 2020...

VK already has photo hosting capability, but it is not the best interface (not to mention VK has lost all pictures before certain dates of maintenance/server failure), and you can't easily embed VK hosted pictures on other sites (so if like me your on multiple forums it ain't ideal).

Net neutrality ain't going to break the internet. It ain't going force or further enable sites to charge for stuff, it will just allow ISPs to speed up services they have agreements with.

nice car!i ve owned 1968 and 69 gtos.the 69 was not a judge model.triple black,400 ram air engine,4 speed with power windows!blew it up and replaced with a 425 engine from a 1966 olds 442.the 1970 body is in my opinion the most beautiful of all pontiacs.btw-convergence on that set is near perfect.very hard to get it watchable let alone this close.screen shots are awesome

A 21CT55 running a 21FB22A crt can't compete with 120 watts of florescent front room lighting. Wayne's subdued wall lighting behind his CTC-5 really was great for his Superb Owl screen shots. That is the way all screen shots should be.
