So, how does one post a photo to the R1200R forum? I see others who've done it there, but I can't seem to find the mechanism for uploading a motorcycle photo related to a post I want to make.

First upload the photo to a web hosting site like photobucket or another location. Then copy the photo's URL address and when posting to this forum use the Img tag with the photo's URL pasted in. Hope that helps.
Also check the previous FAQ posts on the topic.

I'm probably a complete tool, but can't get this to work. Uploaded pics to Picasa Web. When posting the board gives me an error saying it can't determine the picture size.
Tried uploading pictures with different picture sizes, no luck.
Maybe Picasa masks some information?

It's the "https" (secure http ) in the picture url:
Code: Select all

The secure http in the url causes the board to say it can't determine the dimensions. Take out the "s" then try it. Then it can figure out the dimensions, and in this example it says the picture is too big to post: "Your images may only be up to 1025 pixels wide." So you will need to make any photos you want to post here smaller than 1025 pixels wide apparently.

Aha! Thanks, logical afterwards but didn't notice the secure link.
