Title: SDC pics cont..
Post by: How-doFolks on January 30, 2011, 06:00:12 AM
I found a set of about 15 pictures that my brother took probably back in 2005 or so. Still aint found the VHS tape yet, we is a still searchin'. 

The first one is before the park opened. As you can tell, we parked right by the front gate & snapped afew shots of the logo waterfall.

The second one my crazy lil' sister crawled up on the logo waterfall! Bet ya couldnt get away with that now.

The Flooded Mine character is Dale Hicks, who retired the end of the '09 season.  I'll have to pass the picture along to his wife that still works there, Buckshot Granny ;)

Many of us are unable to enjoy the pictures, since we can't see them when you upload them.  It's an ongoing problem that for some us the settings don't pick up the pictures unless they are hosted in another program.

Shouldn't need an account to see the pics.  Can you normally see pictures without any problem?

Some of us only see hosted pictures.  We've addressed these issues in the past.  I, for example, am on a computer owned by my employer, and I am limited in what I can do to change the settings.  That may or may not be the problem.  I think it's a problem on my end (and some others'), and not the forum's fault.  I know it's a pain to open another site to upload and then link the pictures, so I don't blame you for not wanting to do it, How-do.  I just wanted to explain why I haven't commented.

I should of not used the word "account" because some of them sites are free, right?
I can always see everyones pictures, wheather it is on here or on any other site. This is our home computer. I know pictures can be "if'y" when it comes to dangerous things for your computer, i just feel bad some of ya couldnt see them. I understand why some websites do this. My woman always tells me not to click on a site within a site.

I apologize to everyone for having alil' attitude about it, i just wanted everyone to enjoy them. I did not know some of ya's was having these problems. I thought maybe i was overwhelming ya all with the pictures, but that would be silly. This site is still my #1, & will do my best to try & figure something out. We have passes to SDC this year & i want share my moments with ya all!
