As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Pic of the week game

I've got to vote for Sandy
, as that bike has stole my heart. I'm a sucker for a Blue & White bike.
 
Thanks for explanation, Dave.
In my head, I guess I always considered profiles boring, mostly to document my bike. But the pictures here proved me wrong.
And the turn out was great. 17 pictures, a number we only hit or exceeded twice last year.

At least half of the pictures were in the running for me, but the one that really stands out to me, is Dorkburger's.
He totally hit the theme, straight solid profile, but was the only one to take a chance and go portrait/vertical.
The orientation really works with the rock formation.
 
Though the "L's" don't get a lot of Love here I really like Kerry's shot (kerrfunk). That one gets my vote this week.
 
First, Let me complement and encourage Spyder and MarvinSC for what are probably their strongest submission to date.
Norm Stormin and Cowboy Scott too.

Was 4 or 5 pics that got most of my attention. Again, had to find some tie-breakers, the easy tie-breaker was first for the ones that were not really profiles, but then was still difficult choice with the remaining.

My pic can easily be criticized for lack of clarity-sharpness (I blame that on my old digital camera and the software I use to reduce to 1200 pixel for posting).

Without yacking too much more, I did like DaveR pic.
But I'll make a close choice for Kerry Keerfunk, certainly a profile pic of the bike, good sharp colorful picture of the bike, well exposed bike dispite the harsh shadows, includes enough background scenery to make it interesting, but is still a (profile) picture of the bike, not a picture of the wide expanse of the scenery with bike there also, is a picture of the bike.

My favourite this week is the pic by Sandy. Bike and background are just so darned purdy.
 
.............. took several pics of the profile pose just for purposes of submitting one to Bike Of The Month, and I took a few more that I posed more to my liking*,................

Too close to call between about 6 of the submissions. So, I'm going to vote for Baatfam. Solely because he submitted his favorite bike, and is very proud of it. That deserves a vote...
 
Voting for Agemax.
Admittedly it?s more about the the bike for me this week. Nice picture of an awesome cycle.
 
DaveR is my vote this. It seems like the perfect portrait/profile. Reminds me of the glossy pre model release 8x10 black and whites that dealers got back in the day.
 
So right now, I count Sandy and DaveR tied with 4 votes each
Dorkburger and Kerrfunk at 2 each
Jedz123, myself, Agemax, MarvinSC, and Trevor with one vote each

This includes a late vote from Storm64, but since we are tied, I guess late votes are OK.
If someone could verify my count, that would be great.
 
I too can report Sandy & DaveR tie at 4 each.
Keerfunk & Dorkb'r 2,
Jedz, Baatfam, Agemax, marvisc, Trevor 1

And the late vote earlier this morning did not break the tie.

Per my understanding, the current procedure is to wait for another vote (presumably from some who has yet to vote) to come in to break the tie.
