Looks Impressive To Me, But I'm Easy!
« on: June 24, 2008, 07:29:22 PM »
       I can see it being a blast to buzz the track with...... 8) ;)





          The link for the picture is still here, don't know why it isn't working. ??? ::) If you'll click on the "Quote", you'll see it. Seems like this isn't as easy as I am! ::) :D


          Well, here it is again, let's see if it stays this time. ::)

Hmm, try as I might, it does not seem to like that incredibly long URL to the pic. :-\ Don't know if it's a forum software limitation or a problem with the URL itself.

Edit: Hmm, Bill, did you make a change to your post with the pic? Suddenly it has appeared. I split the URL text line, but did not think it had worked. ???

              ??? ??? ??? ??? ???     Don't know what happened!  I'll have to try again later. :( Thanks for letting me know. ::)

       
          Update:  Well, I went back and did it again in the original post and, so far, it's still there. Maybe it'll stay this time. ;) We'll see. :)

         
         mystic, appreciate your letting folks know that I DID at least make the attempt and didn't forget, like I have done at times. :D


         Bob, I appreciate your efforts too! ;) Son't know why it didn't do right either. ???  Maybe, in this case, the 2nd time will be charm.

                                  Take care all, Bill ;)

Bill-

I don't see a link in the original post either.
And the second link you posted is busted, goes to error page.

Now you see it, now you don't. :-\ It seems Bill posted a haunted pic. I couldn't see it just now, clicked the "X" and selected show picture.. nothing. Checked it's properties and pasted the picture URL into the browser and sure enough, it displayed the picture and then it reappeared in the posting as well. ???

I'm thinking it's some sort of caching or permission issue.  Like Bob, I was not able to see the pic until I pasted the link into a new browser window.  The pic came right up.  Then I came back here and refreshed the thread, and the picture showed up.


I note that the URL contains '_Secure' and also it's an MSN Groups address, wouldn't surprise me if there was some weird "don't allow external linking" mojo going on.

Bill, thanks for trying, but same behavior, just a red "x" show picture doesn't work, but pasting the URL into the browser brings it up and 'refreshes' the post.
