I have thousands of cruise and major car show pics, thousands of race pics and machine shop/fab shop pics that are very detailed that I would be thrilled to share.

Well, I don't know what to tell you. You keep asking, "How did you post XX pictures in a thread?", and the only answer is "Use a third party host." Direct attachment is limited to five pictures, unless someone else has discovered another method that gets around the limits. I guess the answer is that you'll continue to ask, "How did you do that?", so from now on I'll ignore the question.

Jerry, here's an easy fix for ya...
If you cant get the point across in 5 pics and more are needed, then just do another reply with 5 more pics and the word "More Pictures" in the body of the reply to satisfy the minimum letter requirement. It's a few more key strokes but nothing serious. Like everything else balance is the key in my mind. A thread with all text and no pics can get boring and dry just as an all pic thread with no text?

AND REMEMBER...

Yeah MT1, but ya' gotta understand Jerry's told us in the past that he 1) takes all pictures in full resolution on an 18 megapixel camera, making each picture file 4 to 6MB in size; 2) he does not want to downsize his files, so he cannot post as direct attachments; and 3) he won't post to a third party host like Photobucket, Flickr, Shutterfly. Seems like Catch 22 - the system's just broken....
