Trouble posting pics to site

HI gang, I first tried to post some pics from Morro Bay, I renewed my membership through paypay about a week ago and when I tried to post it had not upgraded me to paid yet, any suggestions? Plus are my files too big anyway?

The photos have got to be 150K each or smaller with 2.5MB total file storage. That might be the problem. Re-size the files to be less than 150K

That's only if you haven't paid. If you're a supporting member pictures can be 2.5M each. I don't know what the total limit is, but I gotta be well over 25M.

Eddie--same thing happened toi me last year--I was late with my donation and couldnt post anything---large or small. As soon as my $$ was credited I could post anything.

Lane,

So now I wont have to re-size pics......cool!

The site seems to do it for you - much to the degradation of the pictures. You're better off posting in low to medium res, as a high res shot gets really messed up. Look at some of the ones in my gallery and see what I mean. They were all shot at high res. I really need to remember to set my camera to medium resolution.

Lane and Eddy,

Don't change the camera image, resize a dupe of the photo on your computer before you send it.

Rule - Keep your original original and work only on a dupe.

I get under 150 by resizing to a 5x7 inch image at 72 dpi.

I hope this doesn't get us into a Mac vs Windows thing, which ever machine you have, let us know, someone will give you step by steps.

Good luck

Eddy,
Your account status through will change almost instantly from PayPal. I checked and I don't see any transaction from PayPal for your account. email me admin@speedsterowners.com with the paypal transaction details and I can look into it deeper.

Last pg of the article.

Hi Eddie---here is the article about Morro Bay that was in Kit Car Magazine. One more sheet on the next post below.

==Enjoyed meting you at M.B. That was a wonderful event and I hope Alice and I can make next year's gathering.

Thanks Jack, what month was it in, I will try and get a copy fro their web site, I was also looking for one of those Outlaw badges, or stickers who do I contrac for that. Thanks again all

Eddie--it was in the August, 2010 issue. I orederd a subscription and had them include that issue.

Their web site is www.kitcarclub.com to contact them. Nice floks--we met the Editor, Jim Young at Morro Bay.

They also covered the Carlisle in the same issue.

It is just too hot to drive the Speedster right now---101 Saturday, for example. I am getting excited about this year's "Tail Of The Dragon" which is moved to Asheville in the Smoky Mountains.


--Sure loved the Morro Bay trip!

Thanks sent an email to him from the web site, he was driving behind me and said he would sent the pic of my car on the road he took. Will post them, plus getting that issue. Thanks for all your help

Sho thing. Stay cool in Bakersfield!

Only 97 today, but it is a dry heat........lol

Jack, I was going to call you a PUSSY, then I remembered your treck
to Morro Bay, your still a stud in my book, but you obviously have a fem side

Eddy - hopefully, one of these days, you'll trek south in your red rocket to the OC for one of our cruise weekends!

As soon as I can convince Brock Yates to do another "Cannon Ball Run" with me in a speedster.......

THAT'll be cool.....an old guy and a fossil in a Speedstah together for, What?.....50 hours??

We'll prob'ly kill each other (or go deaf) before we get to Redondo Beach!
