I need help in under standing the codes or symbols on the

[ARKQX33V6]

This dummy needs an explanation of the symbols to the left, stickies?, thumbtacks, lines of writing in a circle and on and on. I could guess but can someone clue me in. Thanks.

I would love to place pictures but I read the how to, anything that complex and my ADD kicks in. Is there an easier way?

I am really not stupid, but some things I don't have the ability to follow and /or the ability to do like changing out the # 6 spark plug in a 1997 Q. I have tried time and time again but I simply cannot do it.

Age takes its toll, a stroke takes its toll, I've paid the fare but some things I can't make out, so I would appreciate some help.

etc., is I think what he means. But I haven't the foggiest besides read and unread.

I never understood what the different symbols next to the threads meant beside read and not read. I don't think it really matters


But

This is always how I upload pictures;

First go to http://imageshack.us/

You can sign up for an account be you don't need to. I never did.

So it will look like this.



make sure you set the resize for message boards as highlighted in the picture ^^

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You click browse and locate which ever folder the picture is in. And click open.

then it will look like this



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After you press "upload now" you will get a screen like this



Then you'll want to copy the highlighted link (Forum code) and paste it in a forum post.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The link will look similar to this ( I deleted some parts so it won't actually show up as a picture)

I've been wondering about those things as well, but was too embarrassed to ask.
What I've always wanted to know is: what does it mean when the lines are scrolling?
It seems that one or two subject titles always have the scrolling lines, while the rest are motionless.

Side note: Hey, ARKQX33V6, don't feel bad about your "limitations".
I know too what it's like to be getting on in years.
Last April (2010), I went for my annual physical, even though I felt great and healthy.
Surprise surprise, after an initial blood test that was way off the mark, and then a few more follow up tests,
I was positively diagnosed with prostate cancer. That was a wakeup call for sure.
Sucks to know I'm not invincible.
I had my prostate removed last November 18th, and so far so good. (I get re-tested every 3 months.)
Message to anyone on this forum that's over 50: Get tested....please!.
Cheers.

Make Chris.m's post a how to or a sticky. I didn't know how to post pictures until this post.

Thanks for the replies, guess the statement about no dumb questions is true, I 've copied the tutorial on pix and will try.

That really is a wake up call, prostate cancer!

At 65 years old next month, my doctor seems more interested in my rear end. The magic finger seems to tell them a lot more than other tests and it's a great way to be introduced to a new doctor.. The colonoscopy is a favorite for people getting up in years and not any where as bad an exam as some tease about.

And here we complain about OBDII tests!

Stay healthy!!!!!
