2 weeks in and loving it

Post by stevie » Tue Dec 15, 2009 11:34 am

Had my D3 touring for 2 weeks now and I must say I m loving it. People look at it wherever I go and comment how well it looks.
Can anyone help me with uploading pictures?
I click upload your photo, browse for the picture then click add your photo. Then I get this message:
This programme can not display the web page

I ll keep trying, but me and computers only just get along!

Sounds like it's identifying your image incorrectly. I am assuming you are using your own photos (rather than archive stuff) in which case try renaming each one with filename extension .jpg eg D3TOUR.jpg (you can see that only a few formats are acceptable).

You sometimes have to wait for the photo to load when you click on the "Add the photo to your post" button, then in the final step you need to scroll down to click on the blue text "Add it to your post".

oops...maybe I'm posting too much. Sorry about that...

The most frustrating thing is that funds are in place, I'm ready for a quick purchase, but can't test drive one.... :pray

Thanks for the welcome chaps. I ve given up on trying to post pictures for the moment. Its just me being a bit dumb. I dont need to put the pictures up anyway as my car is on the home page now as the latest edition :D Thanks again and I hope to see some of you sometime at a meet etc. Would love to do the skid pan driving that I have read about on here.
