Hello from Western NY

Postby cmcdar » Tue Jul 14, 2015 2:28 pm

Hi All,

Just heard of this group from a post at rv.net.

I've been seasonal camping for 16 years and now I am about to hit the road. I am retired and come December, my partner will be as well.

We are planning on doing a lot of traveling.

In February we purchased a 2007 Trail Cruiser c191 hybrid and we will be heading out on our first big adventure in just a few weeks. Meanwhile I am working daily on mods to get our new little camper comfy and cozy.

I am looking forward to getting to know you gals.

Welcome to the forum. Sorry it took me so long to get online today, but once you post, one of us administrators must approve it before others can see it. I approved your post and deleted the duplicate post you entered earlier so it will not be confusing.

Sounds like you are planning a great adventure.

Thanks for the welcomes!!!

Judy,

I posted the first "intro" and then I could not find it anywhere. (I know I should have read the small print). I just chalk that sort of stuff up to OA now a days.
So I wrote another - it was only after I submitted the second post, that read the small print. Boy did I feel silly! :oops:

Anyway - Good to be here!!!

I tried to post my avatar but whatever link I give I receive a "not valid link" message.

Does anybody have any idea what I may be doing wrong?

This is the picture I am trying to post.

It is a GIF image, 4.19 KB, 90 x 79 pixels.

Thanks,
Caryl

I'm guessing you're using the image link - you want the direct link only. Take the [img]and[/img] off the link you posted here and what is left should be the necessary direct link.

If you have questions, there is a tutorial about it in the maintenance room, but I think just doing that will do it. Size is fine, but make sure you put those dimensions where it asks for them, or your picture will be evened out, and you won't like it :)

UPDATE: I just made life easier and uploaded to photobucket! Thanks all.

No, I am not using the [img]and[/img] on the link. I did shorten one of the links to end in .jpg and it accepted that link HOWEVER that is not the correct link.
The real link to the photo is: https://content-na.drive.amazonaws.com/ ... y-JsLAYspN but that is referred to as an invalid link in "My Profile".
