When I try to attach a pic the preview shows a "huge" pic and the scroll bars have to be used. Do you send a "normal" size pic?

Hobby King needs to do two as matter of urgency - because it's driving me nuts.

1/ Move the whole site to a decent server that works properly and fast, like RCGroup's server, It absolutely flies and it's gotta have 50 times the traffic.
   With Hobby King I'm very lucky to get load up pages first go and after that it takes5 attempts at least or I simply give up. Sometimes it work fine, but NOT very often. When leaving replies, I first make copy in a text file before posting, because WHEN fails I've lost the message and have type it all again - Arrghh.

2/ Update the Forum 'Web Wiz' software, it's about 3 years out-of-date. Updated software or with 'mod' add-ons would resize picture picture so they dispaly without the need of sliders and you could then click on the picture to show it full size. (Like RCGroups)

As it stands I normally upload pictures the HK Forum (when it works) by resizing them first with InFanView or FastStone Viewer from 2848x2134 (6.0 MP about 1 Mb) that the camera takes to 1024x768 or 800x600.

Your lucky I can't post any more pictures because the 20mb
limit I have is used up.
What gets me is everybody has a 20mb limited but 95% don't use
it.
Yea do what Bill says resize your photos to 800>1000k

Good luck, looking forward to the video.
One point
The "groove" that you can see in the windscreen is the trim line.


Oh and Babs needs to be facing the other way!
If you here a whistling noise you'll know where its coming from

Snappy: Didn't notice the trim line before. Thanks. I had 10 vinyl graphics made of Babs so I can pull and replace.
