Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi PPs and administrators,
I have seen messages with pictures inserted; very useful when you have to describe something difficult with plain words.
How can I do that?

Mike,

We all know and appreciate the work of moderators, better on the safe side than not. You are welcomed to keep order in the same way a sports referee, 99% on target, 1% might not, but not to be contested, the show must go on.

Keep up to the good work; keep this place the good place it is, keep watching.

Best regards,
Rafael

Hi All

For the avoidance of doubt I have never yet used my moderators access to delete any picture.

Even when Rafael responded to one of my threads with a video of a gyrating Hippo’s bum in a ballet skirt.

It wasn’t me Raphael t’was another unknown moderator.

Best regards

Rafael,

u r correct.

But it was never encouraged by the keyboard jockey sitting on the top left corner and he used to keep on deleting posts having pictures / images.

URLs do not consume server memory, the coding is like a text to the server, and this HTML code when your Internet Explorer sees it will interpret it and call for a picture stored elsewhere. Your Internet Explorer or web viewer will download the pictures from the external server into your computer.

u need to upload that picture on some website/server.

Then type this code:


WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=300 BORDER=0>

(U hav to write this code in single line)

Here’s an example:



But, if i do remember correctly, some of the posts were deleted earlier by admin/moderators, as it consumes lot of space on the server

Cheers,

Hi Alexandre.

Ask Rafael - he does it all the time - it drives me nuts which is why he does it.

Best regards
