Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
Another very creative solution to the battery box and fan blades. It looks very good!
Looking forward to seeing the blades spinning!

Doing good, thanks. My build is dormant I think. Heading back home at the end of August, so maybe I'll light a fire up my dad's butt!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....

What I am seeing now is the ability to load one picture and they are now enforcing a picture size limit. I used to load larger pictures than the file limit without a problem. My guess is that the site may have gotten too large from a storage perspective given all of the pictures we all post. If that is the case, it does make sense to limit picture size, storage is expensive from a site hosting perspective. So now I will admit that I am a geek. I used to run some fairly large software development shops. If you are running a windows based computer, here is how to solve the problem: Navigate to the picture you want to load either through My Computer or Windows Explorer. Right click on the picture and select Edit. (The other alternative is to go to Start then All Programs then Accessories then select Paint then open the picture you want to resize). You should now have Paint open. On the top of the menu bar is an option to Resize. Click on Resize and a window pops open. Once it is open then click the Pixels option. You should be able to enter 640 into the first box and the second box will automatically size. I did have a problem yesterday where 640 was too large from a file size so I ended up going with 550 in the first box. You now need to do a Save As to save your smaller picture. What I have been doing is just adding "small" to my picture file name so I keep the original and can easily spot the resized file. You now should be able to select the file and it should up load. I have done this about 6 times in the past 2-3 days and it has worked. If this does not solve the problem for you, feel free to PM me and I will try to help. Good luck! Keep the pics coming!!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
Well since I refuse to conform and dump all my photos on some off-site while the management flips servers, I figured I would treat you all to a new video. (which I had to create and then load up to YouTube which I realize is off-site too...but that is too much irony for me. Makes me feel hypocritical)
I guess the video pretty much explains itself, so no real need for an intro...enjoy !! ![]()

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
To add to the pic dilemma... I recently ran into the same issues and saw a post about this on the "What Did You Do To Your Truck Today" thread.
I signed up on the "Imageshack" Pic Hosting site. You can store up to 5 GB for free and it is super easy to embed these pics into any post. As DaBears offered, PM me if you have any ?s... ![]()

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
I hope they get the pic issue fixed, if not, then there is is no point in paying for a subscrpition.
Having said that, I cannot imagine they would make a fundamental change like this and not tell anyone.... Or did I miss something ? I also have to admit that I am very disinterested in posting photos right now because of it. Hosting to yet another site, to post links here, seems like twice the work and I am not interested in doing that either because I already slog my way thru all that with posting the videos and that is mentally painful enough as it is too. (wow am I really getting this whiney in my old age??) Sheesh ! So here's to high hopes of things going back to the way they were !!
