Last week I was putting my Stinkwheel together in preparation for an event at the weekend so no work on the "ickle" boat.

Today I cut the ply for the panels and drilled holes for stitches. I hope to join some of the bits together tomorrow.

(Still can't upload pictures for some reason)

It's my ancient KTM 200 2-stroke enduro bike.

And for some reason, I was able to load that picture :doh:

OK, this is strange; I can upload photos that have been on my 'pooter for ages, taken with a camera but not ones taken with my phone. I can upload to other forums without a problem though.

So, I uploaded this photo to another forum then downloaded it. The downloaded photo will now post here :help: :doh:

I have that problem too. I just download from the phone to the computer and then upload the photos from my computer. It works even though it is an extra step. I rename the photos after I download them from the phone while I am messing with it. Makes it easier to find the correct photo when I go to upload.

Could be the resolution. Are you getting an error message, or is it simply timing out on your phone?

I don't think so. I resized the photo to about the same pixels and file size as the picture of the bike. I took photos today with my camera so I'll try to upload them a bit later

I have that problem about 1/2 the time with my phone. I don't think the phone camera is embedding the dimensions in the picture file and so the forum refuses it. I can resize it with the phones default editing software (just slight cropping not usually noticable) and the resulting saved file will upload to the forum no problem.

Panels all cut out, planed up, and drilled for stitches

Cutting the strips for the rub rails is a bit of a faf to be honest

When you are short of space, you need to think outside the box just a little bit.
