Hey Guys!!

This thread has had me chuckling away and as I was in the reply bit to see what all the smiley men meant I thought I'd pop in and say Hello!

I'll give you all on an update on my pitifully small tank and it's seemingly never ending problems tomorrow when I've tested my ammonia!!!!

Colin, you may be good at making pointless posts but they are very funny and I share your curse of SAD only mine is all year round and I'm taking lots of strong pills to remedy it, so anyone who can cheer me up it a splendid chap!!

I would like to assume the role of person who asks the most really stupid questions and who doesn't really seem to know what she's on about (it's the drugs!!

) unless it's already taken!!!

Bye for now.

FC

Hello FishCake

I think I was just reading your post on ThinkCat.... but that was more than 5 minutes ago so it really could've been anyone!

I, too, am owned by a cat so I shall probably appear over there at some stage - MrsB and I are on the hunt for a couple of kittens at the mo'. Photos will follow.

However; this is an excuse for a gratuitous cat photo..... meet Fogarty:

Sorry to hear you're a SAD sufferer too - I think it takes one to know one, if you know what I mean - though I definitely improve when I can get outside, get some photonic irrigation and start photosynthesizing

Colin you're back! Great to see you back here again we missed you! Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better.

And fishcake don't worry my fishtank is on the pitifully small side too!

Hi Fishcake

I think that position is already taken...by me

but you can be my deputy if you like

There's an awful lot of SAD about, I hope the sun shines for you soon

ColinB · « **Reply #27 on:** March 06, 2014, 06:02:54 PM »

Thanks Jesnon - I'm glad you're still here.
'Tis good to be back and find favourable felicitations from friends and fellow fish fanciers.

Fogarty looks like a real character!

Think Cat Em wrote a cool blog about her Cat Harry Hope to see you there sometime, the Internet needs more cat stuff!

He he, I do feel better when the sun is out!!

Resa, I would be honoured to be your deputy and will try my hardest not to be as stupid as you so you can maintain managerial privileges!!!! (what ever they may be!!??)

Jesnon, my tank is only 30 litres (26.6 if you want to be picky!!!) What size is yours? I want a bigger one but we have no room so it will have to wait until we have a bigger house to put it in (ha ha - fine chance!!)

I would like to upload some pics of my critters but don't know how to re-size photos. Any ideas?

Wotcha - try this thread for one way to re-size piccies.

Resa · « **Reply #31 on:** March 07, 2014, 03:27:54 PM »

Fishcake...consider yourself hired

Don't worry, very few people can touch me for stoopid questions, so don't hold your breath for promotion

There was no reason for the swimming fishy....I just liked him!

Just an FYI - I've upped the allowed image size to 2 megabytes and am experimenting with an automatic resize function

The old forum, on the previous host, had an easy to use way of attaching photos. You just clicked on the photo on your computer, and it put the pic in the text wherever you wanted it. That is the thing I think most of us from the old forum missed when the site came back with the new host. We didn't like having our photos at the bottom of the page

I do realise that different hosts will have different ways of doing things, but is there any way to change to being able to put photos in the middle of the text?

Hi Sue

With this software as it is no..

The issue is that the current software just doesn't work like that. I wish it did, but it doesn'y. It could be made to work like that but it would mean a big recode or an upgrade to a different brand of forum software which would inevitably lead to other functions breaking too.

When I find the time, I will look and see if there's another short term fix, but for now it's likely to stay as is.

It is on my roadmap though

The way to plonk piccies in the body of the text is to upload your piccies to a hosting site like photobucket or picassa. Then link to them with the [IMG] code.

Sue · « **Reply #36 on:** March 11, 2014, 12:31:42 PM »

Robert - I didn't think it would be possible as Peter would probably have done it when he moved to this host

Colin - tried that with Photobucket but my photos all came out different sizes. I like my photos to conform to the same size and shape

It's probably due to me missing something obvious $:-\$

Well yes thanks ColinB that is a work around, but I take Sue's point in that it would be nice to just upload an image to ones post and see it where you wanted it. Less rigmarole!

Oh. I use picasa and everything seems similar in that - I've never tried photobucket, but I know alot of people on the other forum I frequent (not a fishy one - piscine or otherwise

) use photobucket and the piccies are all of a similar size.

True. I suppose (guess/assume) that this is a hang-over from dial-up days and forum sotware deliberately stopped people from trying to upload large files. With so many people on broadband and super-fast mega this'n'that these days perhaps it's not so important now - but software hasn't caught up?

I dunno - I'm just blathering really.
