Back on topic, I'd like to suggest that one sure way to improve any message board is to Not post pictures wider then the screen

Sorry about the pictures. How can you tell if they are going to be a problem? These didn't seem to be last night when I previewed my post and even after I posted them. I can see they are now. It seems like something actually changed. Well anyway, I'll avoid doing it in the future.

How do you post the pictures, and "then" the screen?

Well, people have their computers set to different resolutions, so pictures may come up to be different sizes depending. A good rule of thumb is never to post a picture wider than about 800 pixels. That way, people that keep their resolution on 800x600 can view the whole thing.

OH, okay. The three in a row add up to more than that, so those must be the problem.

No problem for me.

...aside from being ganged up on by Cynth and Lambchop; oh, and djm's glibness. That, too.

Poor Nano! Here I am trying to figure out why you are paying djm to send weird things (please, I don't even want to know) to JES. I keep thinking why wouldn't they do this via Private Messages? Aren't you worried you might get caught? I honestly feel like I must be on drugs today! It's like there is this spooky underground activity that is being just slightly exposed today in all sorts of threads. Like people's posts are just a cover for the real thing.:lol:I think I'll go have a little lie-down.

Relax, Cynth. I think Nano is just getting a bit too sensitive. After all, its wrapped in a plain brown unmarked wrapper. No-one's going to know.

Why, I imagine that even now there's a whole stream of plain unmarked packages flowing into JES all the time. I realize the funds were initially earmarked to save Lamby, but if JES can use the package to save mankind, isn't that still all to the good? In fact, with a set of barbeque utensils like that I'm sure ... he could .... er ....

I hate to break it to you, but JES uses every package that shows up to fund his reedmaking habit.

Waidaminnit. It's public knowledge that he's growing his own. Arundo donax thrives in Florida, apparently.

Ah, but one still has to purchase knives, and whetstones, and ... uh... beer.

The beer just doesn't last as long as a whetstone...
