Looks like an interesting place. Do you have to use Photobucket to post pictures? Are there any other leaking old goats, or would I be the only one?

Dunno about that site so this is not a comment on it.

I for one hate having to stash pictures somewhere to post them on a forum.

I know it causes glenn untold headaches with server space but this forum rocks with regard to photos.

Keep up the good work guys !

You guys act like uploading pics to Photobucket is a chore or something.

1. You register (for free) at http://www.photobucket.com
2. You upload your pics (real simple)
3.Then when you want to post a pic you click the "IMG" link and you are done

CrisPDuk · « **Reply #4 on:** February 08, 2007, 08:26:20 AM »

What Teal said

Photobucket doesn't half make your life easier if you frequent several forums, you only have to put our pics up once that way, and it makes Glenn's life easier because he doesn't have to keep going and buying more and bigger servers.

Think I'll register on there tomorrow (work time

), looks right up my stretch of asphalt

kuyarico · « **Reply #5 on:** February 09, 2007, 05:28:51 AM »

Some nice people on that forum. They actually have members of the female persuasion.

I use photobucket here and other forums to save server space. Might as well employ some free services that are out there. Plus photobucket is pretty much painless to use.

That is Jesse James (West Coast Choppers) coupe he cruises around Long Beach California with.
He dropped the floor so he can actually drive it with that chop..
Wicked car...

Well Bub, I've tried 4 times to register but I guess my eyes are too bad to make out the secret letters. I have tried the "listen to the letters" option and just end up with a white screen. No way that I can see to ask for help, so you youngsters enjoy yourselves.

Roach Carver · « **Reply #9 on:** February 10, 2007, 05:51:09 AM »

Ernie, i had the same problem, just refresh until you get one you can read. That is what I did. YOU CAN DO IT!

No Kidding! It took me about 6 times. The auditory letter call only hits the first 3 letters too.

Hey guys - I'm not necessarily a leaking ol' goat, but I'm getting there

I actually set up the site, and will have a look at the registration woes you've mentioned. Shouldn't be happening. I deliberately chose the Simple Machines Forum software based on my +++ experiences over the years with the SOHC4 site.

You can post pics on the server, or link through Photobucket (or any other service). You can also link directly to Youtube videos which is kind of fun.

We have 1TB of storage space, and allowance for 1,000,000 MB of transfer each month. Web hosting has gotten cheap over the years. So loads of storage and bandwidth (we've only tranmitted 1,000MB in the first week of being online).

If anyone has trouble registering, just drop me a line and we can hook you up with a temp password that you can change later. In the meantime I'm going to test out the registration process.

Tim. · « **Reply #12 on:** February 10, 2007, 07:58:52 AM »

OOG! I see what you mean about the stupid test letter images. They suck! And the auditory sucks too. I'll see what I can about that! We'd probably have 500 members by now if those worked better.

Uncle Ernie - I signed you up. You should have an email with your password in it.

Uncle Ernie · « **Reply #13 on:** February 10, 2007, 08:00:55 AM »

Hey tintin, where have I seen you before... gigabikes? CW?

edit;
Wow- our posts must have passed each other in the wires!
Thanks for the sign-up.

Tim. · « **Reply #14 on:** February 10, 2007, 08:22:39 AM »

I've also disabled the visual verification in the registration. I think it's the GIF's against the dark background, and I can't find the GIF files to edit them (not sure how that whole bit works).

CrisPDuk · « **Reply #15 on:** February 10, 2007, 12:45:22 PM »

Cheers tintin

For doing it after I struggled over 5 refreshes with it

Uncle Ernie · « **Reply #16 on:** February 10, 2007, 03:14:17 PM »

"I've also disabled the visual verification in the registration."

Now that's some sophisticated software ! It must have seen me coming and tried to bar the door.

Troy R · « **Reply #17 on:** February 10, 2007, 07:54:30 PM »

???Ok How do I get my pics from photobuket to here??

CrisPDuk · « **Reply #18 on:** February 10, 2007, 08:26:29 PM »

You copy the image code that's under the picture in your photobucket gallery, then paste it into your post on whichever forum you are on. Dead easy

seaweb11 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 10, 2007, 08:40:51 PM »

I'm curious??

What browsers are you using?

I'm having some "Mac" issues even getting in?

Tim. · « **Reply #20 on:** February 10, 2007, 10:08:01 PM »

You shouldn't have any trouble - same forum software as SOHC4. Contact me with any tech probs - I'll do what I can to sort you out.

seaweb11 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 10, 2007, 10:19:45 PM »

Mac OS9.2 using IE 5.1 I get a "can't load" message in a new window.

ProTeal55 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 12, 2007, 09:46:46 AM »

Good to see more & more SOHC members poping up over at

http://HTTP://WWW.DOTHETON.COM

The more the better !

Rocking-M · « **Reply #23 on:** February 12, 2007, 01:34:12 PM »

Somehow or other I got regged. I forget how many times it took but this
was before tintin took a look at the problems (I was just late getting here and saying
anything in this thread).

Come one come all !
But beware, I am a Moderator on that site

seaweb11 · « **Reply #25 on:** February 15, 2007, 01:46:11 PM »

still can't get in!

Tim. · « **Reply #26 on:** February 15, 2007, 10:23:44 PM »

It's a real mystery. Odd, 'cause I know of at least one other member, who is one of the Admins, who runs a Mac. I'll ask her specifically which OS and Browser.

Have you tried the native Apple browser? (forgive me, I've forgotten it's name - just know the icon is a compass

kuyarico · « **Reply #27 on:** February 16, 2007, 11:25:37 AM »

I'm on a Mac OSX 10.4.8 running Firefox 2.0. No problems here or on DoTheTon.com

IE for Mac 5.1 is a steaming pile of crap. Really. I'm not joking. It was WAY better than IE 4 for PC's when it came out, but when Microsoft realized that they wouldn't let the major bugs get fixed. It's serious sh!t now.

Do yourself a huge favor and use Mozilla Firefox, or Safari, or Opera. Anything but IE.
