Default New Member Hello

Hello All,
I just recently picked up a new 09 911S Cab in Speed Yellow over Black and wanted to say hello. This is my 6th Porsche variant, '82 SC, '84 Carrera, '86 930 Turbo, '95 993, and up until last Friday an 02 986S (Boxster S). I love the car so far and the technological advances made in the last 14 years is easily recognized and greatly appreciated in the new 911's. 385hp is also wonderful.
I am 6'5" and fit in the 911 way better than the Boxster. I would like to edit my avatar and place a pic of the car by my name but the site wont save the pic. It is properly sized so I don't know why. Also where can I find out about becoming a member rather than just a user. TIA Todd

Do I have to be a member to post pics? If not, how can I post pics? I am having a bit of a problem navigating this site.

I am now a member, and will post pics as soon as they let me! I made a terrific deal and enjoyed the 1.9% financing as well. Casey at Tischer in Silver Spring, MD was my salesman and did a great job. I love the new technology, iPod, sat radio, and especially bluetooth compatibility. This is too much fun!

Here are my "can't miss" instructions for posting a pic. These instructions have NEVER failed to help someone post pics, so the pressure is on YOU to keep my string alive!

All words shown in BOLD indicate buttons. If you are just doing a "Quick Reply" you will have to click on Go Advanced button. Then follow the steps below:

Down below the part of the screen where you type the text and below the Submit Reply, the Preview Post, and Spell Check buttons, there is a Miscellaneous Options section followed by an Attach Files section.

In the Attach Files section, click on the Manage Attachments button.

You will now get a pop-up window. There are 3 buttons Browse, Upload, and Close this Window.

Click on the Browse button and now (in a new pop-up window) you can search on your PC to locate the pic you want to attach. Click on the name of the file you want and then click the Open button. Now click on the Upload button. After the file has been uploaded, you can click on Browse button and repeat the process to upload another pic or click on the Close this Window button.

After you click on the Close this Window, you will be back to the original "message" screen. Your pic file should be listed just above the Manage Attachments button.

If you are finished typing the text, you can click on the Submit Reply button and everyone will be able to see your great looking P-car!

If your pics are too large, you can resize them with MS Paint, or PhotoShop software, or you can do it on line at this web site. http://www.resize2mail.com/
