pic of MINI in the sig

Here's my guess.

1. Find the exact location of the picture you want to use. This can be done by right clicking on the image and then clicking on view image. This will be different than the url you see when you have your picture up in your gallery.
2. Copy the location of the image/url from the location bar.
3. Go to edit your sig.
4. Click on the insert image button (2nd from the right).
5. Paste the location of your image in the window that pops up.
6. Click on Save Signature

The important thing to remember is that you have the exact location of your image you want to use in your sig. You might have to resize the picture so it's not huge in your signature.

Good luck.

Hey all,

Got to drive a red convertible today ( loaner - Weee was getting a day at the spa). Interesting I must say. Is the windshield made weird on purpose? It seemed out of focus when I looked out of it. Made my eyes hurt ( nearsighted so my glasses felt "off").:impatient

Another thing- Is there a clock? I looked and looked and couldn't find one to save my life. If not then topless owners got gipped! No clock?!?

I did drive all the way back to COS on 85 with the top down ( and all my chores today at work). Not a bad drive. I got all sorts of stares. I also know why Denver has glare warnings in their traffic reports now. Holy moly! Suns harsh!

Could be a fun second MINI though. Yup...very interesting. :smile:

Anyone doing the Poker Run this weekend?

Hey Yall!
Anyone going to do the poker run this weekend? I didn't know if the COS gang wanted to meet locally and drive up together. Let me know, I'm planning on it.

Ciao
Bobbi

Just so you know, the Poker Run

will conclude before NOON on the SE side of town, just off I-25. It will be very easy to hop on the highway and get on down the road after the event....

poker run

Alright, I'm from the Springs and will be heading to the poker run on Monday. Did anyone want to head up there at the same time? Just need a place and time to meet.

Let me know here or send me a pm so I can make plans.

Hope to see everyone there.

Can't remember, it's been a while since I stuck it in there (and since removed it) - but I do remember I had to mess with a while to get one in there - and it cuts into your text character count, too.

But you might want to try cutting and pasting it from a separate browser window - if I remember correctly, I have more success posting photos in messages and whatnot if I bring them up in a separate browser and paste them into the message/sig page that I have open with NAM in it. . .make sense?

Howdy yall!

Hey Guys,
Haven't been on here in a while, last run I did was the poker run over Labor day. Just curious if there were any springs rides coming up.

Ciao
Bobbi

Ideas

Hey Guys (and Sean)
I thought I would post here since it pertained to the Springs gang. Here are some thoughts of things we could do:

a. We can do our own Ghastly Run - include some of the following: graveyards, the corn maze, haunted house, maybe even the ever scary Gold Camp Rd Tunnel? - except I'm a big wuss and will freak out, but I'll try to be strong

b. Cripple Creek Run - lets get our game faces on and try to win (or lose) some extra cash for the holidays

c. Progressive dinner - Never done one before but sounds like fun depending on how many minis we can get.

If you're looking for a way to socialize that requires little work or expense and that keeps the party moving all night, then a Progressive Dinner Party may hold the answer for you. At a Progressive Dinner a group of friends plan a meal together where each course is served at a different participant's home, so that the party literally moves from place to place throughout the evening.

Ok - those are all my ideas for now. Let me know what you think or if you have any ideas of your own.

Ciao
Bobbi

I'm game for any of those but I'd only be able to participate on Saturdays since I'm usually working on Sundays.
