 Here I go with a big snivel!
Why does it have to be so frikin hard to put pics on this site?
Yes , I'm an old fuddy duddy technophobe, but have managed to easily post pics an the last 3 websites
I belonged to.
And no! I don't want an hour long tutorial, or to spend three more hrs of my time to figure it out !
I am discouraged , and probably wont be on this site as much as I would like to  cuz of it.
  I know...... boo hoo hoo  i'm a dumb ass.......snivel over. Feel better now. :'(

You may find it easier to go on photostash this sites own photo storage. Once there its really easy just to click the pic copy the URL and go to your post and click pic and insert the url in between the brackets. You can basically do the same for any photo site and some will have instructions on how to do it. If you want, post the URL to the pic in a post here. Just copy and paste here and lets see if one of us can make it happen for you. Once its done then you can do it yourself.

Above if you click the link should show a engine stand but that will serve as an example of what your looking for. Its in the address bar at the top of the browser .

I'm with ya on this, I'll never store photos on line just to post them here, I want to keep them on my hard drive. If anything this forum is the old fuddy dud, I also have posted many pics on other forums and craigslist, ebay etc. This forum has great members, because of that I'll always be here but will just never post any pics of my bike or my ole lady...until they bring pic posting into the 90's of course.

It is a rather much more complex deal to post pics here. Not that hard , but time consuming.

I think you guys are making a bigger deal of this than it really is. You dont store your pics on line, you copy them to Photostash and they remain on your hard drive. Once its on line its really easy to post, I'm sorry guys I dont think its the site that needs updating.

If you guys can pick a photo storage site and put the url or link here  for the pic, we will post the pics for you. Now that should make life easier.

Alright, old guys I get it, you want it as easy to post a pic as it is on Facebook, the problem is to just upload a pic means the site has to store the pic caung the site to keep having to upgrade its storage, the way it is now another site stores the pic and this site just links to it keeping the costs of running this site low.

I don't do facebook, but I have owned a lot of motorcycles of all brands and not one forum I know of posts pics like this forum, isn't it the same to post a pic to the reply either way, some have links but others have pics in the reply and some members have 1/2 page pics of their ride in every post. Thumbnails can't take up that much space.?

Hay thanks for the response guys. I feel a little better knowing others have struggled as well.
I managed to put  some pictures on the photobucket site.
I think this is the url to one of the pics....          

What do I do with it now??????

Robert

Good looking bike I like the added carbon fiber  :cooldude: :cooldude: I managed to look at the other pics you had and it seems you do alot of traveling. The bike was filthy with road dust and bags on the back but nice to see you around and about with it.

Was it as simple as me putting the url of the picture in my post????? Or did some one else have a hand in getting my picture up ????  It couldn't have been that easy.
Thanks for the help. :)
