I found this information on the Rocket 111 forum. I haven't tried to use it, (I'm still waiting for my 05 Triple), but he seems to know what he's talking about, and he's written in the style of "Posting Photos for Dummies", which works for me. I would be interested hearing from anyone who tries and is successful (or not!). Good Luck

How to Post Photos

I scanned it pretty quick and it looks complete. If you don't have a pic hosted somewhere, try it using any pic you already see on the web. Heck, borrow someones bike pic from this forum for a test. You don't actually have to post the message to test the process. Use "preview".

I didn't read the instructions closely. In case he didn't meniton, a quick way to get the web address of a pic is to right click on the pic you wish to post and then click properties from the pop-up menu. There you will see the url. copy/paste and you've got it.

One thing that the author touched on that I think is often overlooked is controlling the size of the picture. Two issues are affected by the size of the pic. The first is kb size (or in some cases mb size). This affects the download time. An issue especially important to those not using high-speed connections. The second issue is picture dimension size. While a picture appearing twice as wide as the screen width can show impressive detail and clarity, I find it annoying to scroll left-right constantly to read the messages. Yup, got the flame suit on now. :flam:
