Read the first post in the Sticky for directions on how to upload, attach, and then insert your pics as thumbnails; and I think it's about Post# 17 for reducing the size of your original image file.

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.
What did you do to your Spyder today?

You need to reduce the size of the picture. The forum software does not accept images that are more than one megabyte in size. There should be some software on you computer that will do it. Some of the newer smart phone even have photo reduction software. There are several ways to reduce the image. You can right click on any computer and choose properties to find out the exact picture size. Most Windows computers have a program called MS Paint or just Paint that can reduce the image size. There is also places on the web that will reduce the size for you. Of course, they will try to sell you some image reduction software too, but you get the image reduced.
Reducing the physical size as measured in pixels will reduce the number of megabytes.
Reducing the number of colours will reduce the number of megabytes. Grey Scaling will reduce it by a huge number.
Reducing the resolution will also reduce the number of megabytes.

Washed 7001 miles of bugs and road grime off?
Wife and I rode the entire route 66 west to east, rounded the corner at the Mackinaw bridge, and headed back west though the northern states.

Took my Spyder for a ride before the thunderstorms arrived.
Ran into a construction zone on one of the roads where they only had one lane open, and had flaggers controlling the flow of traffic.
I had to stop and wait, and while I was sitting there the flagger told me I had a nice bike. I thanked him.
Then I decided to stop and pick up some lunch, and while I was gearing up after stowing my lunch in the top case, another customer came out of the restaurant and told me she really liked my motorcycle. I also thanked her.
Then going back through the construction zone, the same flagger got a big smile on his face when he saw me, and took one hand off of the stop/slow pole to wave at me. I nodded back as I rode past him.
I drove 81 miles and was gone for an hour and 45 minutes.

Nothing earth shattering. I write to express gratitude for this forum. I finally got the bike back together. It's running fine.
But. (You knew that was coming, right?)
Yesterday the check engine light came on. Never seen it before. Bike was running well.
Went home, a few miles' travel. No codes. Read the manual. No help.
Came to the forum and did a search and found a number of threads on the ambiguous meaning of the check engine light.
One meaning was repeated: Battery.
I plugged in the smart battery maintainer. Turned the ignition. No check engine light. Unplugged the charger. Check engine line ON.
Thanks to all who contribute ideas and wisdom and knowledge to this board.
