    Same here. I'll go through the steps. You've taken your iPhone pics, then still on the phone, in Safari, you're at priuschat:

    1. Tap "Upload a File" button, at bottom, below edit window.

    IMG_8148.jpg

    2. In the pop-up, tap "Upload a file...", the TOP line of text, not the button beneath.

    IMG_8145.jpg

    3. Up from the bottom will pop options, choose "Photo Library", navigate to Picture Roll, and tap the picture you want. It'll take a mo.

    IMG_8146.jpg

    4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for however many pics; you can only do one at a time.

    You're basically done now, can type and post a message and the pics will be attached. Or, to get the pics to appear in message:

    5. Place cursor where you would like it, then click full image beside the image icon.

    IMG_8147.jpg

    If you just want to dump them all at one location, in order uploaded, you can use the "full image" button in "Insert every image...".

    Yeah, you're basically posting to a thread. You could also emailing them to yourself, work with them on a pc or mac, but that's a new can of worms. probably simplest to just stick to phone. Try a trial, post a pic any time, see how it goes.

    That definitely won’t buff out:(.

    But a good candidate for replacement :).

    Good to see your tool box has increased(y).

    yeah, it was too much with the shoulder surgery this summer. when we get back from florida in the spring, i'll take to the body shoppe for repair. the rest of the car is flawless, albeit, covered in salt and dirt.:oops:

    Oh boy, scar compare time. This is all I've got. Just happened in the last few weeks. Before:

    And after, just yesterday. Mountain Highway Collision (formerly Ultimate Collision) did an excellent job. Note the even seam, they even managed to eliminate the saggy butt syndrome.

    Well ........ first cold soak test this morning .
    8 Degrees F. here in the northeast today .
    Crossed my fingers for the first "real" cold start POST - OCC install .....
    Started up nice and smooth, with not even a hint of cold start knock ! (y)(y)(y)

    So far so good .

    Only thing to note : have approx. 100 miles since the OCC install and I have absolutely NOTHING showing in the OCC cup, and nothing visible in the clear lines at all . Have a longer ride today, so will check it again later .

    Calling for 4-5 degrees F tonight, so tomorrow will be another "test" .
