Nungali Posted September 18 ? I type in 'random internet picture ' to google , select 'images ', right click 'copy on it , right click ' paste' here and ..... Now down the bottom of my post page is the image listed as 'uploaded image ' , the mage has a garbage bin icon on it to delete it if I left click on the image I can get corners to drag in and out for sizing . If I right click on the image and it takes me to the site where the image is I have to right click on it and select 'image address' and then post that here and the image will show up . But it will not show at the bottom as an 'uploaded image '. To change its size, you have to double click on it and then you get a window where you can type in numbers for a size . Say I have a photograph of a tree I want to see next to this picture ? Then I get some sticky tape and tape the photograph onto the computer screen . Hint : never do an internet search for 'random internet picture ' ! : 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerard Posted September 19 (edited) That's actually the first thing I did. It wouldn't work either so three likely scenarios: 1. Mobile device related bug as I don't use desktop/laptop 2. Type of file used 3. It worked this time around. Edited September 19 by Gerard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can resize. Uploading is erratic. I have tried to upload 2 images, one never can't do though they are exactly the same size and type. Something wrong. Big and small images come out.

That is becoming a problem a more academic sites ..... dudes filling in time while waiting for a bus or whatever .... not reading threads , random comments from the last post they read , not being able to properly check maps, tables, links, etc . I nearly always use laptop for this . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Dao Bums only uploads jpg, probably only links to jpg too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taomeow Posted September 29 A good illustration of how exactly history repeats itself when accurate and timely information about prior history is not available https://x.com/TaraBull808/status/1840413728099139962 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nungali Posted September 29 We have a corner , two bridges down from my place ; a small crest , a sharp turn onto an old wooden bridge , but the turn is banked the wrong way and off the edge is a nice little concrete 'ramp' ( erosion control ) into a deep pool in the river . Many a car I have seen in there over the years , Especially after one of our festivals or a Saturday night 'Castle Party ' ( someone had built a 'castle' further up the valley that had a rather notorious oparty reputation ) . One time, after a festival , I was driving along , early , and here was a band's sound truck, fully laden all their instruments and sound gear , half submerged ! Ouch ! Why doesn't someone put up a sign ? Because we dont have signs on our road . Worse, at the beginning of the road is this sign ; and nearly everyone thinks it means there is no speed limit .... that must mean I can go as fast as I want ! Ummm no ... it means there are no posted speed limits , advisory corner speeds or any road signs ahead .... not even ' warning sharp corner ' or 'Dangerous bridge ! ' signs . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taomeow Posted September 29 We have the opposite method of getting the same confusing results -- too many signs. I've been thinking of putting together a compilation of sign songs to play in my car. I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes... Sign sign everywhere a sign... Every breath you take, every move you make, I'll be watching you... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
