No big secret. I own the website for newenglandtrials.org so I have my own server space. Once Stu EMAIL'd the pics to me I FTP'd them to my server and put a pointer here to the pics.

The pointer is basically a set of HTML tags that say "<img> picture address here </img>". The tags tell your browser that the address points to a graphic so treat it as such and the picture address is the file location on the web accessable server.

Essentially the pictures have to be on a computer somewhere the internet can access them. A "server". When you put them up on flicker or some other picture server you're throwing them up on a server that is open to the internet.

I don't know if Andy has any setup for uploading to his servers. It's a real pain to maintain if it is and I can understand limiting the access. Disk space can be eaten up fast by photos and there are serious consequences if a server you're responsible for gets loaded with, er... shall we say questionable material. Best to just rely on the photo sharing sites to hold content as they are equipped to handle such issues.

If you pay the pittance and become a TC "member" you can add properly sized pics directly to your post and do not have to work around a hosting site! 1000K limit, which is fine for most.

Membership? Site supporter?

I've seen this mentioned several times and noticed it on some people's sig but nobody ever says how to do it and how much.

It's a classic case of assuming the other guy knows what you know. If you make people dig for information they won't.

Andy?

Dan, I went to the Site Information menu off of the main page and then picked Trials Central Supporter. Cost 10 pounds (it was probably about $30 CDN the way my dollar is going).

HI all,

Just to let you all know what happened in the end. Well, I put it all back together...also cleaned everything up behind the stator..and took it to a trial yesterday. It blubbed all the way round the first lap, and then, all of a sudden, hey presto, it was all fine and ran as sweet as a nut..untill the end of the trial. Then in my last few minutes of a bit of practice before putting it on the car rack to go home it started to blub again. Strange!!..unfortunately, maybe the mstery continues.

WHen it was running well tho, it was great, and I still reckon the rear suspension on the 02 rev3 was the best of all of them. Certainly feels better than the 03 AND the 05 I had, in my VERY humble opinion.
