with blackstone I do like most and capture the image, open it in MS paint, delete any personal info if want to , save that as a jpeg and upload it to photobucket, then copy and paste the IMG code link into the box here.

it can be somewhat confusing at first but once you do it a few times it gets easier

Or you can select the text from the pdf and format it notepad as a text file and place the contents between the "code" tags.

ex

[ code ] data [/ code ] <--- minus the spaces

Why prevent a simple copy and paste?

I'll have to try this in 3.5k miles, copy past is a pain and my first try nothing ever lines up.

I probably won't post my used oil analysis because of the knee jerk method required. There must be a simple logical way to do this if some computer person will post it.

I'll try this for my next Blackstone analysis. Is this procedure the same for Dyson results? Does anyone have a simpler method for us somewhat-computer-challenged? My only computer class was Fortran 77.

This might be good to have as a sticky note.

Posting a hosted image is not difficult, but may suck in the future. Image or location changes, whammo no results to view here. The original intent of BITOG was not to have images.

Here's a way:

The easiest and best long term way is to simply:

1) Find someone else's properly done (typed in) UOA in the forum.
2) Copy the initial post.
3) Start a new thread.
4) Paste the copied UOA, and then of course don't use their numbers, just type your numbers in place of theirs.
5) Type in the car, engine, oil, filters, how long the oil was in, type of driving, etc

It really won't take much time.

Follow Pablo's plagiarism advice.
