Can someone please post a sticky on how not to suck at posting pics? :laughing
it's pretty situational
my assumption is you're posting from your phone. the problem is almost always that the file is too large. if you're on an apple koolaid dispenser device i can't help you. i use an ap called, appropriately "reduce photo size" that is free at the expense of your soul. as i'm a ginger, i don't care about my soul.
so
-manage attachments
-choose file
-reduce photo size ap
-select photo (you can also take pics while in the RPS ap)
-reduce icon
-1280x960 (could actually be larger if an option were available. this size works welll here and on craigslist)
-save
-upload
-close this window
-submit reply
done
instead of the ap to reduce photo size, taking a screen shot of your picture while viewing it on your phone will also shrink the file size but it may leave you with huge weird borders, or things in the background you'd rather not share.
another thing many might not realize is that you're able to make a stand alone photo album on barf. if you click on your user name in the upper left corner of the screen, it'll pop up your user profile, on the left of that screen is "albums"
if you create and post pictures there, you can then hot link them to your post and arrange them as you see fit instead of the blob of pictures that occurs uploading them directly to a single post. this way you can annotate pictures, and if your 3rd party hosting service goes tits up or fucks you and changes their service model to extort money from you (i'm looking at you webshots, fucking fucks) your sweet build thread doesn't end up with a lot of dead picture links.
Oh damn... of all the things to happen... That sucks.
Is there anything you can anticipate from here on once you get this fixed? Brakes or brake lines?
... charging the Tiger's battery with
the Indian's generator ...
Kalle's brilliant idea! :ride
... my solution would have
been to lay in the dirt and cry .... :laughing
good for you for shaking it down and id’ing the charging issues ... would be a big bummer to be stranded three hours during the Melee ... :thumbup
don’t think I’ve ever really solved my Tiger’s many charging issues, though I’ve developed many multi-day vintage-ride charging back-up plans: :laughing
multiple batteries, multi-meter, trickle chargers and extension cords ... :rolleyes
... nice to have a small sealed charged battery
along for the second part of the day.
confident you’re the type of rider that’ll
get the Sprint properly sorted ... :gsxrgrlarty
did the Melee cash your entry check yet? :ride

Kalle knows, period:thumbup
‘charge’ ahead, regardless !!
that’s the best part of these multi-day vintage rallies ...
I get to hang out with my betters like Kalle, Daniel and Tom
and maybe learn a thing or two about being a real motorcycle guy ... :laughing:thumbup
Not sure if they cashed my check but I'm in because I got my acceptance letter. #61 Woot! :ride
