Title: Ouch man pics!!, check out the damage
Post by: passive357 on June 16, 2004, 12:00:23 PM
i finally figured out this posting pics thing. so here it is.

this is the conclusion to my previous thread..."ouch man, ouch is all i got ta say" check it out for the full story.

this is all that happened to my bike(scratched up engine case). i am glad the engine case was already wrecked by the previous owner. that softens the blow. i actually had the parts to fix it on order previous to the wheelie mishap. right now i have a band-aid on it.

and here is my fore arm rash and busted up fingers...

Below... side by side. healthy on left, gnarly on right.

Passive 357, how did you post the pics?  I haven't figured it out yet...

you need to have them uploaded somewhere. then just use the IMG tag.

it'll say [.img]http://address.of.picture.jpg[./img]  (only without the . after each [)

You're on the right track with the IMG tag!

Let's say that you want to display a picture that's already hosted somewhere on the 'Net.  For example, the color-changing fuel tank next to the GStwin.com logo in the top left corner of this page.

First you have to know the URL.  Right-click on the picture and click "Properties".  Highlight the Address (URL) with your mouse and press Ctrl-C to copy it to the clipboard.  Click OK or Cancel to dismiss the Properties window.

While editing your post, click on the Img button twice to insert both the begin Img tag and the end Img tag.  (Or, you can type them in if it's faster for you):[img][/img]
Put your cursor in between the two tags and press Ctrl-V to paste the URL:[img]http://www.gstwins.com/forum/templates/fionefour/images/boardlogo.gif[/img]

Now click the Preview button to see if you did everything right:


If you want to post a pic that ISN'T already hosted somewhere on the 'Net, you'll need to find someone / someplace to host it.  Try http://www.uploadit.org or http://www.photodump.com (you need an account to upload, but not to view).

Great pics!  I must say that I prefer the first, more scenic one, but don't mind me - I've been known to post skeletal X-ray shots....  :roll:

Glad to see you got it working!  :thumb:

I hope your "ouchies" mend quickly and completely.

(Was that OK, Pizzle?  :mrgreen: )

i hope everyone is having fun with the pics posting seminar... now back to me, pay attention to me!!! :nana:

i used a high temp spray paint which i do not recommend. at the very beginning of the pipe where it connects to the engine, it gets too hot and baked off the paint. if you look really closely you will see places that i grinded away rust.

to do it right you need powdercoat or chrome. powdercoat is too expensive for me right now. gimme a break i3randon12, im poor. chrome shops wont chrome a used pipe(at least the ones around here) because of the carbon deposits from exhaust and the chroming process dont work together.

Maybe you could actually BREAK stuff next time?  (Just kidding!)
