Your boat was built in Sept 1979 and may have been 1980 model or a 1979 that was relabeled a 1980 if it did not sell right away . this was a very common practice back when the boat was new.

My F36 was built in Oct 1977 but was a 1978 model

You need to join a free photo site and place the pictures there. Then you link to them in the message you write here.

First steps first, join a photo site and get your photos showing there... we can then walk you through the next steps.
A couple of free ones are:
http://www.photobucket.com
http://www.flickr.com
If you need even more help you can use Picasa to help organise and share photos that are on your PC
http://picasa.google.com/

OK. I consider myself somewhat computer literate, and went to Photobucket and posted my boat photo to use with my profile. However, in trying to revise my Profile, it is not recognizing the URL address from Photobucket.
Any thoughts? Help?

The profile picture can not be larger then 80 x 80 pic. You will need to down size your picture. You then need to Copy the direct link from Photobucket and paste it to the profile link in this forum. Again you must submit a photo no larger then 80 x 80 pic.

gjrylands - Thanks for help. I had reduced the size, but couldn't get the profile to recognize the web address. Finally got to the page with the four Image Link Codes in Photobucket that works -- Direct Link! Yea!

But, ready123's profile photo is 240 x 180 pixels. How did you do that?

Now I have to figure out how to add larger pics to my messages.

You were missing the /Img at the end which I have put in above. Though it seems to be the same size, so you need to select the url for the larger one if you need it.

Prowlersfish,
Trying to put larger photo in message window.
Thanks for the compliment. Spend a lot of time waxing. Boat is not shed kept.

ready123,
Thanks, didn't know I needed to add that.
I did use a larger photo (4 x 6) and the pixel size (432 x 312) is larger than the photo of your boat. Still puzzled.
