  1. Thanks for posting, it's nice to hear from you. I had the pleasure of meeting Mark at Vogel and he will surely be missed. Please don't be a stranger. If you need anything at all, just ask. We will be here for you. Don
  2. hmmm....I'm easy to spot. I fly a VentureRider flag off my trunk and have a VentureRider sticker on the back of my trailer.
  3. Actually, I have the option in the software here to add watermarks automatically to any photo uploaded here or in the PicGallery. I just don't see a good reason to do it.
  4. That is what I use also. It is called Image Resizer. It is NOT a standard feature of Windows XP however. You have to download and install it. Here is more and the link. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1859

    Very bad song

    OK...just a bit of information for everybody. After spending WAY too much time trying to figure out why the video in my first post wouldn't work, I finally found the answer. I didn't know this because I have never uploaded a video to You Tube. Apparently there is an option when you upload a video there to NOT allow it to be embedded on another site, such as here. In this case, if you want to watch the video, just click on "YOU TUBE" in the lower right corner of the video window and it will open the video on the You Tube page. NOT where it says "You Tube" in the very lower right of the menu bar but click where it says "You Tube" in the lower right of the actual video screen.
  7. Yes, fairly common problem. Several have had them replaced but I've been lucky...my '99 has the original switch. A little tip for you. If the new switch is keyed differently, you can take both key and have a new one cut to work both. Just have one side cut for the new switch and the other side to match your old key. Don

    Don't know why the first one is not working from here. Here is another version but in this one, he doesn't explain it like he does in the other one. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55JMnSUTt8I]YouTube - ARLO GUTHRIE[/ame]
  9. OK....embedded videos from break.com should work now.

    Very bad song

    A while back there was a thread asking what is the WORSE song that you have ever heard. Well....this is not the WORSE but it is very close to it. Plus, it is about riding and playing the guitar...two things that I really enjoy. So without further ado....I give you Arlo Guthrie and his motorcycle song.

  11. Thanks for the link to the website. Nice fencing. I may have to make a trip to WV with a trailer pretty soon.
  12. Sorry that it didn't embed. The hack that I'm using for this has to be modified for every online video site. It takes special programming code for each one. Break.com is not yet included. I'll see if I can get it to work soon.
  13. A big thanks to rjmalizia for taking the time to share this manual. http://www.venturerider.org/manuals/1996-2001%20Royal%20Star%20LIT-11616-VZ-01.pdf
  14. I could set it wider but I honestly don't know what the problem is with the width now. When you get to the end it automatically starts a new line so why does it matter? Also, I try to keep it compatible with the screen resolutions that several people might still be using. I have it set now for 640 wide. Some folks still use 640 x 480 screen resolution. If I make it wider, the window will be outside their viewing area.
  15. Yes, flowers are being sent. Black Owl is making or has already made the arrangements to do so. Thanks for asking.
  16. Full WYSIWYG editor. User CP, Options, scroll down and you'll find a drop down menu to choose the type editor you wish to use. You can control the length on your own as stated in previous posts. Upper right of this box where I am typing the response. Black arrows to increase or decrease the length.
  17. I like that fence. Did you buy the posts and rails or are you making it all?
  18. I just made some changes here and also in the private messages area. The box is now wider and the smilies have been moved to the bottom. I can change it back if this turns out to be unpopular. Feedback is always appreciated.
  19. I'm really sorry to hear the news. Though we knew he was not doing well, it does not make it any easier. Mark was a wonderful asset to our group and was truly an inspiration to all who knew him. Our prayers go out to Nancy, friends and family.
  20. If it is in Port O' Connor, TX, the zip is 77982. According to the website, that is where it is being held.
  21. The problem is that you are trying to link them from a Microsoft account that requires a username and login. You need to save them to your computer and then add them here as an attachment.
  22. I think it is fantastic. I hope it is a HUGE success. I can't imagine anybody being offending by a group wishing to bring some joy into the lives of those injured serving our country. If anybody is offended by it, that's their problem and certainly nothing that you have to apologize for. Thanks for posting it.
  23. I hope you used a credit card or PayPal. I know that some folks don't like PayPal but it's about the only way that I will pay for anything on Ebay. I don't like calling and giving some unknown stranger my credit card info over the phone and I don't like sending a money order or check to somebody for something that he may or may not have. With PayPal, I can pay and my credit card info is kept private from them. If there is a problem, PayPal WILL help you get your money back. They were the ones who got my $2300.00 back from the seller of the generator. For Ebay dealings...and a lot of dealings for that matter...PayPal is my preference. I also have a PayPal debit card that is linked to my PayPal account so if I want to buy something elsewhere and haven't transferred money from PayPal to my bank, I can easily do so.
  24. I've only had one really bad buying experience on Ebay. I paid about $2400.00 for a new generator that was listed as "In Stock, Ready to Ship". I bought it and paid instantly via PayPal. A week later I had heard nothing so contacted the seller only to be told that his shipment had not come in but would be there within 2-3 days. Another week passed, no further word. To make a long story short, it was almost to the 30 day cutoff to being able to file a complaint and I told him that I wanted a refund. He then told me that it would be 3 more weeks before he would have a generator and that if I wanted to cancel, there would be a 10% restocking fee. I blew a gasket. A restocking fee for a product that he did NOT have in stock? I filed a complaint with PayPal and with Square Trade. They got my money back. I left him a negative and he returned the favor. Oh well.
  25. I wonder if they have reverted back? I don't know. I just looked again and all except the Inspiron 1720 show to be g now.
