gday all i have just joined this awesome forum and not sure where to start, i have a 89 900 ss and are currently restoring the old girl, running into problems at every turn but finally getting somewhere, i think, when i work out how i will post some pics and get involved in some discussions , looking forward to it as im addicted to seeing this build through, i have owned this bike for 2 yrs and only ride home from purchasing it, driveline completely knackered so it wasnt pleasant, i have restored and own a lemans 850, but this beast is already getting into my blood. looking forward to ideas and help and maybe i can offer some help as well,cheers.

Hi there,

you can either get a free photobucket.com account, upload your picutres there and post the IMG links here or if they are not too large you can attach them to your post directly.
Give it a try.

the picture should be max 1024x768 if you want to add it to your post.
Just click "post reply" then on the bottom at "file name" click search, select the file you want to upload and click "open". After that hit "add the file" and after a few seconds it`s done.
If you want to see if it worked click "preview" and if it`s ok submit your post.

Hello HW89


You are correct this site is the best site i have visited for advice & very seldom have I seen anything go off the rails (which happens on the web when people can hide behind a computer) ... I have asked some pretty stupid questions but got the answers I needed all the same

I will watch this one with interest ... Good luck

Regarding posting pictures

Get yourself a photobucket account up and running hopefully this link will help http://s5.photobucket.com/

You can also set one up on an Android phone very easily with their App

https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... roid&hl=en

Either copy or download you Photos to the Photobucket site

Once on click on your pictures look to the right were it says "Share photo".

This is the really simple bit now.

Open the thread you are discussing ie this one on the Paso site go to either your header post and click on edit, or use the reply link.

Once opened go back to your Photobucket site click on the IMG link ( you will notice it has changed to yellow and briefly says copied)

Return to the Paso link and simply right click your mouse and Paste.

Automatically resized for the site.

Job done.

The Photobucket link should resize them automatically if on photobucket first but not if you post via your PC direct.
