PhotoPoint (http://www.photopoint.com) is a great free way to post pics on the board. Lets see some pics!

JPEG is a smaller file (shorter upload)
MAKE SURE you size the image to fit the thread on the Donzi Board so the script doesn't run off the screen.

Is there any way to copy and paste on UltraBoard?

Geez, RickR! Not even going to take the bait on my Corvette comment? I thought I could start something here. Actually, I like Corvettes. Not as much as I like Beemers though!

Just a test...yes, Photopoint is pretty cool!
By the way, how do you size an image to fit the board so that the text doesn't run over the screen?

Tony, resample your picture inside one of the many photo programs out there. Now, some photo programs don't let you resample, so those won't do you any good. The way it works is like this. If you take digital photo that is say, 800 x 600, it's going to be a big picture on most folks 17" monitor. You need to lower the pixel count by 50% or more. Just bring the picture in question into your photo program and click on resample. Some programs let you put in the percent to reduce the pixel count or size, while others ask you for the actual size you want. Play around with it a little and you will quickly figure it out. Another trick to make pictures smaller and quicker to load is to reduce the number of bytes of the picture by putting your camera on the lowest quality setting and always save it as a jpg before posting.

The 535 is the Boss's
It's my second Vette
Here is what was left of the 1st one after all the flipping and rolling
At least we had a nice soft landing, in the lake.

Nearly killed me
(the Ninja ZX-10 went on the market CHEAP after I got out of the hospital.
Our doberman got the worst of it, she was in the back
(she survived and gave us 10 more wonderful years)

Moral of the story is; DON'T let unexperienced friends
drive your Vette (trailing throttle oversteer) or your Donzi.

BTW; The doors still opened and closed.

Besides my girlfriend Kelly, a whole lot of beer, and my dog Kitty, this is what eased the last 8 months of pain I endured without my Donzi! Hopefully this weekend if I get her in the water, I'll post some pics of my GT.

Oh Christmas!
What a hell of an accident.
See? The built in Corvette roll cage does work!
Glad everyone ended up okay.
When I wrecked my first Corvette, the whole nose peeled off and the motor caught fire. When I got out of the car, and saw the whole front end exposed, I felt as if someone had pulled my pants down. Really! I remember thinking that.
Funny too! People were screaming at me...
"Get out of the car...she's gonna blow!"
Thought I killed the other guy. No such luck though, he ended up sueing me for $1.3 million. Soon after that, my wife left me.
Oh well, at least something good came out of it.

My last motorcycle was a tricked-out Honda VFR-750R. I liked to ride it in the country on cool summer nights. One night I was cruising at about 100 mph and noticed some freshly paved patches in the road ahead. Before I could consiously react, the patches took on a third dimension as I weaved between them. After making my way through them, I realized that they were actually black cows standing in the middle of the road! A few weeks previous to that, I hit a pregnant white-tailed deer in my first tricked-out Honda Civic Si at about 105 mph. I didn't even want to think of what I would look like after hitting a cow on a motorcycle at 100. I took it home, parked it on the center stand and sold it the next day.

Had an old Kawasaki 750 triple that would eat bullet bikes for lunch in a straight line,but the dam thing wouldn't go around corners for squat!Had a gyroscopic effect from the engine that made it wanna stand up straight all the time,and you hadda THROW it into a corner.Did that once in the rain with my 5 year old son on the back,and it did an unintentional wheelie at about 40 mph in 3rd gear in the middle of the (left)turn(which caused one to overtwist the throttle a bit therefore soiling your knickers).The next morning-I drove it to a local construction site,laid it down,and ran over it with a Eucilid that had 9ft tall tires.I had other bikes-and three times had gone over the hoods of cars that turned left coming towards me.Sooner or later,a bike will eat your lunch-it's just a matter of time.Stick with boats guys-they're less likely to treat you badly(but will spend your money just the same),and they don't nag......

Forrest-
I had to give the carcass to the State Trooper so he could feed it to his dogs. The guy probably would have written me a ticket for speeding if I hadn't http://www.donzi.net/ubb/rolleyes.gif

This happened quite near the Alabama/Florida state line in Baldwin County (home of Forrest Gump, Jimmy Buffett and Kenny "The Snake" Stabler)

BTW- She did about $4,400 damage to the car and if I hadn't had the deflector for the sunroof, I would have been covered in deer crap. Also, my headlights immediately went out. Have you ever found yourself sreaming down a coutry road in the middle of a very dark night at 100+mph with no headlights?
