Title: Having trouble uploading profile picture
Post by: ladybug on July 20, 2010, 11:05:06 PM
I just heard about this forum at the Redmond Rally.
I am new to this type of thing and am  having trouble uploading my profile picture. It seems that all my pictures are too big. I see that others have had success so maybe Im doing something wrong. Any suggestions would be helpful. Looking forward to spending some time here. Glad to have found a home here.

Welcome, ladyblue!  Who told you about us?  I was beginning to worry that some of the R65 riders thought I was trying to spread some cult....

Thank you Rob for your help.
Ed I heard about this forum at the Redmond Rally from Melena.
Montmil The Redmond Rally was great anyone who missed it should definitely try and make future ones.
I have never played on a forum like this before so forgive me all in advance for any mistakes while learning how this works.

Another Lady!!!  Yea!!!  Welcome ladyblue.  So glad Melena pointed you our way.  I think you'll really enjoy the time you spend with these folks.  You have the benefit of having actually met (at least one) some of us.  Great, helpful, sociable, funny, crazy, interesting folks in this asylum.  

And please share pictures of your ride.  We LOVE pictures!  Which R65 do you own?  Year, LS, standard, etc.  I can see it's blue...  ;)

Welcome to the farm LB.  One can't have too many bikes!  Well, OK, one can have too many but everyone needs at least two or maybe three.

Yes that is true one can never have too many bikes in my opinion. Whenever I hear someone say he cant get another bike because his wife wont understand, I tell him he needs to get her on her own then she will understand. Only problem is riding all of them but then again you can have worse problems in life. I should have stated I also have a 2000 Suzuki SV650 and a 1983 Honda FT500 Ascot. My Husband has a 89 R100GS, 74 R90S and we keep a 79 naked R100 in Europe.

Where was my spouse when this information was published? In the ladies' loo, or preparing for same at the bar?  ;D (In fairness to die Frau, she hasn't complained much about the bike — though she still refuses to double up on it with me (a cost savings on an extra helmet and a huge benefit to my mental health by not having a constant stream of constructive suggestions coming through the earhole of my helmet).)  ;D

Hi Ladyblue!  Welcome!  You found us.

Yes, this is Melena who showed you the path to our great forum.   ;D

And I have a picture or 2 of your lovely bike at Redmond.  So I've beat you to it.  Also see the post on the rides and rallys section.  I've posted the picture of us with the flag there.
