How to post images

How to post a picture on the SRV forum:

First you need upload your image to an outside server. The forum software doesn't allow uploads. There are several free image hosting services like imageshack.com and photobucket.com . Many service providers like Comcast also allow you to upload images.

Once you have your image uploaded, open it in it's own window. Then copy the url from that window and paste it into the message box like this:

www.spokanerocketvelo.com-a.googlepages.com/MtSpokanecharlie.jpg

Then, highlight the text, and press the "image tag" button above the text box. The link to your image should be surrounded by the "image tag".

Then you should end up with this:

Another helpful tip: If it's an image that's part of an existing webpage, say a thumbnail from youtube like this:

you need to right click on the image, select "Properties" from the list that appears, and then copy the Address (URL) line. Paste that information into the body of your post, highlight it, and then click on the Insert Image button above your message.

Is that guy a pro?

[aj1152]

Yeah, that guy's totally a pro rider. I saw him racing locally last year once or twice. Granted, he was really, really, really far off the back and he was holding onto wheel car while begging for a Budweiser, but he's still pro...

I concur - the guy's a pro. He never reached his full potential . . . there was an accident. He dumped a half rack off the front of his bike on the way home from the grocery store one day, and his psyche has never fully recovered. But he's still a pro...

aww....shucks.

I see that the admin deleted some good "pro" pictures that apparently weren't family friendly.
