hi all figured it was time to stop lurking and join in i have a 97 225 explorer bought it new here are some pics if i do it right

Welcome and very nice 225.

Very nice Explorer.  Looks in great shape for a '97.  Has she been re-rubrailed?  The one you have wasn't the one we we're using back then, although I like yours better.  Any issues with her, feel free.  This forum is by far the best out there.

Wow, gonna take me a couple days to clean that post up  
Hmmmm.......

Welcome aboard Circle Hooked  :!:  :!:  When I get a chance I'll walk you through posting those pix - unless Johnny wants to take a stab at it.

Welcome Circle hooked! Nice boat! Welcome to the family. I am newer to the site and I have spent hours here learning everything about restoring/maintain boats regardless if it is my model or not. Its facinating stuff. We all look forward to a step by step photo journey of anything you do to it. We love "Aquaporn"... i love that word!

That's the best I can do.
I'm not quite sure what is going on at your photobucket folder.  One thing is that you need to scale the pics down to 640x480 - go to your Photobucket account and click on one of the 3 pics you have there and at the top you'll see a "Resize" button. Click that and then click on the dropdown that appears and select 640x480 and then save the picture over the existing one.
Then you can click on the picture and then click in the "IMG Code" (not IMG Thumb) secrion to the right of it which copies the needed code to your PC memory and then paste that code into your post - no need to click any of the buttons above the post window.
Also, if you look at your first post, at the bottom of it, you'll see an edit button - click that to make changes.
