• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2010 Photo Scavenger Hunt

Well !! After another two hours looking at the screen and poking around trying different things, I am giving up on this link thing, OR I could be held responsible for finding a hammer and using it on the computer which would not really solve any problems.
I have been back and forth to FLICKR.COM and searched for irishspyder and I have no problems checking photos. There are 4 pages and 63 photos,,, but I have no idea how to link them to here.
Ideas anyone ???

Biker1,

I just looked for your photos using irishspyder and was downloading them today, but don't have enough time to download each individually. You obviously have more points than Irish has seen, so you might want to
give him the link http://www.flickr.com/photos/51395793@N03/4914332966/in/photostream/ and let him check your work. Good luck!
 
Contest ends tomorrow...Got Biker1's photos and adjusted the tally sheet to 3360. I will post the rankings on Monday, giving time for people to post any last minute photos

I need to get some clarification from prize donors as to exactly what they are donating for those who are donating items rather than gift certificates

I won a Corbin gift certificate at Lamont's BBQ and The_Spyderwoman won one from TricLED which we are donating to the game.

That means we will have prizes for the first 6 places

  1. R/T Sales
  2. KewlMetal
  3. GloRyder
  4. Bert's Mega Mall
  5. Corbin
  6. TricLED.com
I will announce the actual prizes as soon as I get the clarification I need. My plan is to have each of the top 6 players submit a list with their preference rank listed next to reach prize. #1 will get his/her first choice, #2 gets next choice. If their #1 has been taken, they will get their #2...and so on.

Irish, Just to clarify things. The contest ends today as in midnight tonight?? Or are you still accepting photos that can still be taken over the weekend & submitted up until Sunday night & finalizing them on Monday?

Just wondering even though it supposedly ends? ~ Is it being extended?

I was asking because of another post that you referenced the same thing in.

Thanks,

Deb

From the outset, the contest was to go THROUGH 30 September. That means any photos taken before midnight tonight are okay. I am giving people the weekend to get the photos posted and for me to get the tally sheet updated.

Does that clarify the issue?

OK..I am done. I believe I now have an entry for every category.

As I posted in my final entry:

Never too exhausted to Ryde the Spyder. Even after my trip through Colorado, Arizona, Utah & New Mexico, it was good to get home but was ready to go for more. Thanks ~ Irish for this contest even though it's been cussed & discussed it has made me get out there & Ryde. And what a Wild Ryde it has been!

Glad you're home safely; you can probably mail the photos to your e-mail account. ON mine, I have to touch and hold the photo, which brings up a menu. Select 'Share" and send via your e-mail. Alternatively, you can hook your phone up to a computer using a USB cable. My phone then chirps and tells me it's connected. I then elect to mount the SD card and transfer the photos using the File Browser on either the phone or the computer. Good luck, looking forward to the shots!:thumbup:

I will probably do it again if I can get support from vendors again for prizes. Learned a lot and will clarify a number of issues.

Look for it to be posted around December of this year
 
Brett,

E-mailed the pictures to my son along with my Googledoc. Hopefully he can take it from there.

Thanks for the great idea!
