Has the forum recently stopped accepting .jpg files ?
It seems rather strange, most things I have loaded into my threads are that format as that's the native format of my digital camera, all of a sudden tonight no joy and I don't see it in the list of acceptable formats in the download menu :???:
Is this me forgetting or has something changed ?
Regards
Roger

Using the upload at the bottom it goes through the motions but after returning from the file menu it shows the new filename but does nothing never mind how long you wait. If you tell it to post the message anyway it goes blank for maybe 10 seconds then the following popup appears
Error Sorry, invalid attachment extension.
« Back
BUT the Back button doesn't work, just takes yo back to the homepage.
I will post this before trying the post to gallery method so I don't loose the post again!

Roger I wouldn't worry, there are a few issues with the Forum software that we are working through, some bits don't work, or don't work as they should.
The software we are using is old/ obsolete, very creaky, and no longer supported. We are on one of the early versions which becouse of the way it has been 'Customised' over the years, is virtually impossible to update. Martin (Martin Wynn) has for years done a sterling Job keeping things running, but at the moment is involved in a mammoth, time sensative job of his own, So we have managed to draft in someone who has limited knowledge of Forums but extensive knowledge of Databases and keeping 'Legacy' systems running way past their sell by date.
We are working in the background to carry out necessary work so the Forum can have, and HAS a future,
and occasionally we break things ( thats why he has the name breakage) .
The reason I'm saying this is :- WE MAY have broken it ! So it's good to hear from members if something doesn't work. Rick and others have been with the forum a long time, know a lot of the 'Odities' and what's been broken for a long time, and as in this case 'knowledge is King' and he has saved hours of time looking for and at something that has been broken for years.
There will be major work that has to be done in the near future and I would encourage all members to check out the forum maintenance notice at the top of the recents page, Follow the instructions there and keep an eye for updates :thumbs

Diatribe over :tongue

"right click on the photo and select copy, then go to the thread & then paste"
if I wanted to insert a photo e.g. for POTM but not want it in my gallery. This worked fine and again I posted my vote that way yesterday doing just those steps. Note: the picture was from inside the YMRC environment.
Next I wanted to add an external pic and I tried the same by selecting from my snip tool (Ctrl-C). Doing this I got the three pages of characters that PeterMac was producing a while ago. I got out of jail by selecting it all in the edit window (Ctrl-A) and deleting.
Maybe that occurs because I'd not first saved the file to a jpg format and it was in a raw form, now I think about it. Will try and report back.
Update: No still got same outcome when I selected an external .jpg and pasted into editor but it works fine as below when I select an image from within YMRC's environment .

I've no time to investigate lol.
I would suggest where possible, upload to the forum and THEN link, it makes our life easier in the long run.
P.S. don't worry about Gallery space I would rather Images were stored internally which makes life easier going forward :thumbs

Showing another merit of the Pre-Order process I guessOooh. Look what just arrived. I got lucky in the ballot for a first-release bottle.

Maybe - though I hope in a way never to have to enter a ballot for a sought-after model even if deamnd outstripping supply might be good for the hobby industry.[user=1753]Gwiwer[/user] wrote:Showing another merit of the Pre-Order process I guessOooh.

On the tasting - I'll let you know "dreckly"

Is it numbered ? In a few years time, that could be worth a pretty penny ………….

Seriously, wasn't it your good self getting lots of alphanumeric strings in posts you were trying to make a little while ago or is my memory failing me?

Not an individual bottle number. That might have made it worth keeping. And it might well have cost a great deal more than the £48 paid. It does carry the slightly cryptic number R-01 meaning "Release 01" however.Of course you won't drink it Rick :shock:

It's very good. Slightly peaty, slightly heathery, a hint of smoke and a lovely long smooth finish. Doesn't beat the single-cask whiskies I have had the privilege to sample but those really do come in at a premium price. Up to £25,000 a bottle. I was closer to the £3,000 a bottle price tag but drinking by invitation
