Jim, read this thread but don't go near Photobucket. Use Imgur instead. Otherwise you will have to find a way to reduce the size of the image file to less than 250 kb (I think) and add it as an attachment to your post.

Congrats! Which model?

Eldest son-in-law (in Covington) has a 2006 Road King.
Comfortable on the highway (he has gone as far as Arizona on it), but a little awkward for me at low speeds.

Ride it home or trailer it?
Been a mite chilly there.

Try TAPATALK. It works for me... and is relatively easy.

RE: 2018 Harley Soft Tails
jimgl3, using my moderator almost-super powers, I can see that you've embedded a link to a picture you've posted on another forum. My experience is that it simply won't work unless you can at least link to a URL that ends in ".jpg" Even then, sites like Photobucket have managed to block even that access.

ride4now is right, if you can lay hands on Tapatalk, it makes the process easy although you probably need the photo on the device you're posting from and you have to accept Tapatalk hosting the photo for you.

RE: 2018 Harley Soft Tails
I like some Harley bikes too but the culture of pseudo-bada** and the whole thing about "image" kinda put me off from considering one.

Sorry to be somewhat blunt (and o/t) here, but there is something very wrong if 250 kb is considered insufficient for a good photograph posted to an Internet forum. We are all too often considering Internet bandwidth to be a limitless resource. Well, it isn't. It's just that we are in regard to that one where we were fifty years ago in regard to petroleum...

RE: 2018 Harley Soft Tails
I’m not sure what you mean, rotor. Is o/t for ‘out there’? I’m not making judgments about the image size; just saying what I recall the limit to be.

In this country, at least, bandwidth is definitively finite and quite expensive. Also storage, which is Guth’s issue, is not necessarily cheap. The problem with forum attachments is or so much the file size, but he fact that it seems harder to control the image size (not the file size) than using a hosting site.

example photo, 80 KB
sorry, o/t, for "off topic".

I honestly believe that the tiny effort required to resize an image to 800x600 pixels and set jpeg compression index of about 70 will produce an image of more than satisfactory size and quality for presentation in an Internet forum. Again apologizing for going on an off-topic tangent - the example image (well, at least it is "another bike" Smile that I am attaching to this post is not Nat Geo photo material, but nobody can argue (I think) that it is technically deficient in size, colour or detail for use on a forum such as this one.

Its size is only 80 KB.
