NW WA Meet / BS Thread

They are working on more themes.
The thing they need to do most is have a theme that has darker borders at the top of every new post to differentiate between posts.
I've also noticed the signature area is HUGE.

 

Like lol

 

Yeah, I don't much care for change... The old forum worked just fine.

 

Weird, hopefully itll grow on me, wonder if posting pics will be less hassle

 

I don't understand what was wrong with the old format, I didn't see a reason to change it.

The postmaster called me today to apologize for my "misplaced" items (shock relocates). Seems that the mail carrier either delivered them to the wrong address or left them on the wrong door step. She doesn't remember because it was back on April 10th. They are claiming its my fault for not notifying them sooner, but BAMF didn't send me a tracking # to follow. I had no idea they where misplaced until last Thursday when I called Jerry to say WTF is up with my three month wait on this order. He says, oh sorry, I forgot to send a tracking info and you received them on the 10th it says. I'm waiting to hear back from him for replacements, this sucks!

 

The change happened because the old software was no longer being supported. It was either upgrade or die kind of thing.

 

Some pictures from Saturday... Weather was kinda crappy so I didn't want to walk around with my camera getting soaked...

Jerry emailed me back, said he will ship another set out ASAP and will take care of filing a claim with USPS. I can't ask for more than that.

 

Pictures look good man!! That last one looking down the valley is awesome.

Thats good it all worked out man. Hopefully it doesnt happen again!!

 

Wow thats awesome Mike! And nice pictures for sure Alex!!

 

That's good. It's no fault of yours whatsoever. It's between him failing to give you info and the post office screwing things up.

 

Well, my dealings with wheel spacers has been interesting.
I talked with Been and he said if he could do it over, he would have done 1.25". OK, so that gave me bora or spidertrax (wish I had discussed earlier, I passed on some good deals). I went with the spidertrax because they had prime shipping and were $25 cheaper. Once I placed the order they charged me the extra $25 anyway based on taxes, so price came out the same. Seems a bit dodgy.

Anyway, I got the front set on and did a test drive. Wow, what a difference! Almost all my body roll is fine, and I'm still on the blown out OMEs. Gotta say thanks to @BoatRacer for the suggestion that I get these.

 

Works tons better on phone and tablet. Also there's some features I'm liking such as person tagging and the highlight quoting.

 

I love my spidertrax, just make sure to re-torque them in 50 miles, mine weren't loose but I put red loctite on each nut.

 

Although I'm still confused on Drag and drop. It doesn't save the image to TW...

 

No it doesnt, I think you still have to do the upload photo thing or TW Live to get them in your gallery which kind of sucks. Should have an album for drag and drop photos.

 

I guess it's good for memes and stuff. So if its not in the gallery, what keeps it from disappearing?

 

Testing drag and drop...

 

OK when I drag and drop, it throws ATTACHMENT tags around the image.
The image gets stored in the global tacomaworld gallery instead of your personal one. Images keep their original name and are appended with an incremental value, so the ATTACHMENT tag only needs the numerical portion of the name.

 

Ohhhh so it is safe on TW then?!
