  1. If the picture is too big (above 250kb) then you will need to reduce it. You can do this in a variety of ways. One of them is to get a picture editing program Paint.Net, and resize the picture until its small enough. Normally, if you take a picture with a digital camera, (even some modern phones), the picture size will be too big and you must reduce them in size. To check the size of the file, do the following :- Select image and Right Click on it. Then click on Properties - The image size is displayed . Hope that helps
  2. Only Site Supporters can upload images. For everyone else, you can use the img tags and post pictures from sites like photobucket etc Firstly, when you go to add a post, look in the bottom right and you should see the box below. Click the browse button.... Then look through your folders to find the picture you want to upload Click UPLOAD as below Once the picture is uploaded, the box should say Manage Current Attachments click on the drop down arrow on the right and the info below comes up. Click on the icon as it says below Then it automatically puts the picture information in your post. You will not see a picture, the forum software will use this information to find the picture and display it when you submit the post. After that, that should be it Please note: There is a limit on the size and type of file you can upload. I thinks it is 250k for a single file. Pictures should ideally be jpg files. I hope this helps, if you need any more info then ask
  3. Thats just tough I'm afraid. As I said above, you have to take the rough with the smooth in business.
  4. Good interview - very competent i'd say . Nice one
  5. Ok, you have ordered a machine from a dealer at an agreed price. The dealer has now put up the price by
  6. No, but constantly thinking of ways to make some ( Don't spend a lot of time thinking about trials to make some that's for sure )
  7. I'm an employer and I shop around too. I can get European labour cheaper then employing you so I will do that. Not my problem!
  8. Not David Beckham, more like Tony Hawk - Legend Fair comment but I disagree
  9. We of course would want the game's producer to make a lot of dosh. If they do then, they would have sold a lot of games and therefore highly increased the chance of new people coming into the sport. Also, Toni Bou would do alright financially . I would suggest he would earn way more on game endorsements than he would ever riding for Honda. Because of this, trials would see the money coming through greater interest in the sport ensuring increased bike sales, spares,clothes etc. IMHO
  10. Not good practice?? It is if the alternative is going out of business.
  11. Valid comments but what I suspect we would both agree on is trials needs high level media exposure. Both ways would do this
  12. I can't believe this. Through some fault of its design, you are happy to drill a hole in the casing to let in water and let it out again? Why doesn't it do what all the others do and keep the water out? Geez, is that asking too much?
  13. There is one thing that I believe that will accelerate trials almost instantly into fame and fortune..... It's a tried and tested method and has worked very very well in other wheeled sports. What is this you say? .. Well , what we need is a Toni Bou mega computer game. It will need to be produced by one of the main game producers (EA GAMES for example) and be well packaged and marketed (as they know how to do well) plus many other things.. The effects will be dramatic.. Anyone who thinks computer games are just for kids is way out of date. A survey produced in 2006 showed that in the US, 4 out of 10 adults play computer games. (maybe 60-70 million people?). Across Europe the picture is similar. When Red Lynx produced the web game Trials, it topped the Miniclip website's top 10 for nearly 4 months and new releases of the game have shot straight to number one. You need a lot of people playing the game to do that. They all can't be trials fans already as there simply isn't enough of us. The latest release (trials2) is still in the top 10 now. This is a game franchise that's around four years old! The only thing that has to be done is making the link between people playing the game and then having a go for real. Right now that is a big hole, but it could be plugged with some creative thinking and action from people in the right places... Where there's a will there's a way
  14. Toni Bou never ceases to continually impress. That is just AWESOME
  15. Are you going to provide the bike & sidecar then ? I would do it for a larf..
  16. What actually have you found below your name? Have you found some coloured squares and at the front of it it says (0%) by any chance? Please read my earlier post in this thread regarding how the system works and it should all become much clearer
  17. Hey guys, No one in this thread has a warning. The system works like this: If you fall foul of the forum rules ( as I said in a previous post ), you may get a warning. If you have had a warning, it will show a figure above 0%. The purpose is to deal with people who abuse the forum rules. (You will normally also get a PM from one of the admins to tell you if you have had a warning) In the main, it's rare to get one. Most people get a quiet PM sent to them to remind them what the rules are and that's the end of it. Ultimately, if you have 0%, then you are well and truly perfect in the TC trials community
  18. Are you saying you can see a percentage number above 0% against your status as neither of you have warnings that I can see p.s - I know who Alan Turing is btw
  19. Can't you see the Warn box at the bottom or are you referring to other peoples warnings? I don't think they are worth collecting to be honest. The last person to collect all 3 was Lane ..... and that was all in one go
  20. It's part of the forum system and is used by the admins to apply automatic warnings to people if they fall foul of TC's Forum Rules. There are a few people who have warnings for doing this but not many. The most usual reason for getting a warning is advertising on the forums and everyone gets the same treatment. Just ask the Dabster
  21. You have a point . Although I would be careful with the elderly comments if I were you, seeing that you are only 4 years younger than me !
  22. What are the eligibility rules for pre-65
