I really like it when you talented guys share this stuff. Amazes me, it really does. I wish I had 1/100th the skill or knowledge, and the equipment, to do this stuff.

I can see the pic, you got it!
As for the avatar, the limit is about 11k and max. dimensions 200x200 pixels.

Thanks Bruce!

Nah, it's just the whole game one doesn't understand unless one is from an ex-British colony where by now, that colony is way better at it than the English who invented the game!

Bob would you mind telling me the site you refer to?

OK this one has got to make you smile, and I'm sure you already saw it by now.

The story can be fund with a simple search for 'lawyer cat filter zoom'. But here's the video anyway...

Don't keep us in suspense for too long...

Thanks Toby for helping out. Yes, instructions are in the FAQ. Max filesize is actually 228KB (not sure why an odd number but that's what it got set to). The easiest thing to influence file size is Image Quality - if you can do that with your photo app you can still have large dimension images, but ...

Sounds and looks like a very successful time! Nice to put faces to names. One day I'll get Stateside for a convention I promise!

OK thanks Steve. Maybe they will be taken down quickly.

One of these OCD lanterns is back on there. Twice. I just reported both.

Very sorry to hear what happened John. The workplace is a minefield. Even if not a straight-up personell issue, it can be a simple task or role error that gets a person into big trouble and losing a position, even if in the past that would have been called 'learning on the job'. I'm sure we all have...

If you are on Android then this photo resizer app is pretty easy and it's free. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobilephotoresizer&hl=en&gl=US (or search for 'photo resizer' in the Play Store and find the app called "Photo & Picture Resizer") Open the app, locate the file(s) ...

If you copy/paste the link to a video, it now gets recognised and embedded into the post. By way of example, here are two of the most useful YouTube videos for those starting out with Coleman Lanterns from Lantern Lab (aka our very own member 'curtludwig'). . https://youtu.be/C7ijUgivUFQ . https://y...

And by the way just to set the record straight, on the new forum the limit on photo size is actually larger than on the old forum, it is actually 240KB now vs 150KB before... so image size can't be the actual issue you are facing if you're doing what you used to do, maybe there is something else up?

And here is what it looks like in the app... Step 1 after you load the photo in the app you see how big it is, then you hit the 'resize' button at the bottom: Screenshot_20210205_205445_com.simplemobilephotoresizer.jpg Step 2 you choose what resize you want - here I decided on 25% as an image with a...

Here is the photo mention in my last post and uploaded direct from phone after a resize.

Hi Al, It sounds like you are using your phone to take then post photos - is that correct? If you are on Android then this photo resizer app is pretty easy and it's free. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobilephotoresizer&hl=en&gl=US I just used it to resize a 2736x3648px fil...

Not a 242B, but I have a 243B with one.

Thinking about this a bit more, I have a collapsable spare in my old 911. It looks about that thickness uninflated. I just watched a few youtubes about them and it seems pretty funky, except the tyre is almost 30 years old so I wouldn't want to actually use it!

I bought that kit and hardly used any of it for polishing GPAs. Trying to polish a fount with a 1cm pad thing was awful. As Timm says, the wire flies off those other bits and embeds themselves in your hair, clothes, skin, whatever.
I do like my Dremel though, but mostly for tiny bits of rust removal.

Pretty sure that it is common now for small cars to have such a spare, if they have one at all that is. Many just have the pump + gloop. In fact, when we were looking at the VW California if you picked certain internal configurations you could not legally have a proper spare tyre, only gloop. Reason...

RC car, now your talking. Another rabbit hole hobby to have lol. I love mine. Be sure to check the glow plug if it’s been sitting for a while. Yep, glow plug was checked and glowing. Took a few turns to get it going but got there. Very happy, now will locate the batteries my kids have taken and see...

Yesterday: moving furniture from one bedroom to another as one of the teenagers is going back to her bedroom after decorating. Whittled a tiny spoon - I got a book on basic whittling for Christmas and have been trying not to cut my fingers off while slowing attempting a few basic things. Today: repe...

Thanks Rob, that was my bad not the OP. It has been like that since we migrated (the others were spelled correctly)!

Fixed now.

What I don't understand is why you would list an item with which you are willing to part as "for trade only". Maybe to see what is out there first, and if nothing then offer for cash? Just a theory. Personally I find it hard even to sell stuff. I think maybe I traded a 243B for something and I was ...

Thanks Steve. I had those two pop up in my eBay email alerts this morning, like many of us I suspect. I actually took a look at the time, and wondered about the "OCD" label as it reminds me of my wife cleaning the house :lol: Also, I thought that such a NIB was a bit cheap so far... and then the pho...

I see the patches as a gift from Mike, for your first order of the year. As a parallel, I wouldn't think of selling something I was gifted for my birthday or Christmas, or at another time by a friend, and to offer it for sale within a week or so I would consider quite disrespectful to the person giv...

OK here is the next one. They must have an old-school journalist at the Guardian, growing up my buddy's dad was a journalist at the local newspaper and was always coming up with clever headlines or pointing them out.

Just. Wow. I'd have never thought. I'm thankful to live in a such a low-crime country!

Are they actually selling at $100 for a 200a though?

I'm glad you get the pages in 0.5 secs with garbage internet - that is a good speed. For the home page I currently I see 586ms from a server in Washington DC, 848ms from San Fran and 1.3sec from Germany (using test sites freely available). The stats graph comes from Google Analytics which will aggre...

Hi Kevin thanks for the message. It was like Jim says, over 2 secs for a page. Not acceptable. Here's a graph for page load speed before and after the plugin was disabled on Jan 18. The yellow line I added to show the trend, and the red line I added to show the cut-over. So we went from > 2 sec to a...

It's 9.30pm here now and time for a light up for Pastor Jeff. This LZ327 was from the late Chris Durbin's collection and I have often thought about using it for my 'Coleman friends who passed away lightup lantern'. Well, after a new generator, Pastor Jeff finally made it happen tonight. From now on ...

I thought it was a bit smaller diameter for kero?

Very sad news indeed. He will be very much missed.
My sincere condolences to those around him.

Hi Ian, I think there is a simple mentions plugin and a mention users plugin. Have you tried both Hi Paul - we were actually running 'simple mentions'. The speed issue comes when a board has many users and many posts. The plugin loads so much data on each page view (to check the user list, and then...

Thanks for taking the news so well. I too was getting frustrated at the speed and also wondered if it was at my end. Starting Saturday it took me some time investigating, but I managed to boil it down to that add-in and then needed to confirm it. On the plus side, for this journey I did find some co...

I am sorry to tell you that the add-in we installed some weeks ago for the tagging of other users ('mention') in the forum using the @name has been turned off. The reason is the code was seriously degrading the forum performance, and slowing down the time it takes to load a page which you may have n...

Really nice combo. A later-day version of the red/nickel 200.

OK, you might guess we are in some lockdown scenario here by the amount of time I get to read the news online... Today the UK's Daily Mail reported on two unfortunate people killed in avalanches in Switzerland. The headline was about the UK citizen killed in Verbier , a very well known ski resort. T...

Glad you're OK Timm! In these days when someone goes AWOL we're gonna worry...

Guys - I have disabled this feature for 24 hours as I think it is slowing the site down. I'm going to monitor the performance and see if my assumption is right or wrong.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

And this one from the UK's Independent (mentioned by Jimmy Fallon)

Thanks Murff and everyone. Tgarner01 it also bugged me too :cf_pissed: which is why I dug a little into it and changed a few things in the background.

Looks tasty. How about putting the bricks on the grate shelf at its lowest position instead of direct on the heat spreader? Just an idea.

Here you go... the images:

Thanks again everyone!

Steak was cooked to perfection on my Coleman 421 using a Le Creuset cast iron griddle by the light of the Sears Big Hat (one of my b-day lanterns), and washed down by a bottle of Bordeaux as promised!

Thank you everyone!!! Planning on cooking a nice steak accompanied by a bottle of 2014 Bordeaux... A bit snowy here today, and the big hat of this trio of birthday lanterns will be lit up to give the terrace a nice glow while the snow continues to fall! . IMG_20210112_113656.jpg .
