Trip report gone ape-sh1t

Post by Road2Manchester »

An hour and a half writing a ride report, diluting 3 months work into 1000 words, witty, informative and to the point. Add a set of pictures, press send.............. 4 hours later, still loading...... then gone. :S
Thats my second attempt, what t'ells wrong with it>>>>
cam to gif



If you ride like the wind, expect to get blown away. One lifetime is all we get use it wisely this ain;t no practise.

Em, maybe the pics are too big?

Open them in paint, resize pics to 800x600 and they'll be fine!

I've seen me type up fair reports and the page refresh and I lose the f'ing lot!

Good luck mate!

write the reports in a word processor (word, wordpad, even notepad) before trying to post it - just in case you or the site looses it.

Agree with writing in a word processor and then copy and paste when ready

It's all about how big it is and how Rough you use it :-)

its a report about a manc on a GS. the mods can keep deleting it a lot faster than you can type it mate, give up.














:P teehee only joking, def write it in word, then try breaking it up in smaller bits over a few posts, with a couple of pics per post.

Ha ha! Davesato, you're so funny! Tee Hee!

And they blame Scots for being racist? mmmm.

At least we're clever enough to reduce the size of pics to fit them into one post! ;)

Maybe your internet connection is too slow?
I went to the Caribbean on holiday with my wife last year.

Jamaica?

No, she wanted to.
