Re: Practice Thread
It does indeed, Sunnybird! If you're going to post a link in one of the threads, I recommend saying where the link is going (here's a link to an interesting news story about osprey, or here's a link to a story from my local newspaper) - I'm generally reluctant to click links unless I know where they go, and I suspect I may not be the only one!Sunnybird1995 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 09, 2018 8:25 amDoes this link work?

Re: Practice Thread
Judy B, I posted my Osprey link on Eagle Chatterer's Forum. From Sunday, right above the Eagle Cartoon by Nestfriend.
That cartoon is so clever.
Thanks again.

I've seen comments from a couple of people who are having trouble posting attachments - so I'm trying one. This is a lovely sunset shot from Delta back in June.

I am testing permissions and needed a post I could play with - this is my temporary "play" post.

Re: Practice Thread
Hi everyone! I've had reports of people having trouble with attachments - and of people being required to log in before they can submit a post they just made - so I'm going to try making some posts with and without attachments, editing posts, quoting posts and other things to see if I can figure out what needs fixing.
Added - that posted without my needing to sign in.
Added - and I could edit it without needing to sign in. I'm using Firefox on a Windows computer - and have had to sign in several times today, so it does sometimes affect me.

This post is hopefully going to start with one picture from a visit to our Surrey Reserve nest, placed inline.
That worked! I'm now editing the post to add this line.
That also worked - the picture is still there. I am now adding a second image, also inline, from the same visit.
That also worked - I'm now editing my post with two pictures.
So far so good - end of this test.

For the next test, I'm going to add a screenshot but not place it inline, so it will show up as an attachment at the bottom of the post.
That worked; I'm now editing the post to add this line of text. Clicking on the attachments link, I still see my file there.
And the picture was still there; I'm now adding another picture.
Both pictures showed up as expected; I'm now editing the post to see if that changes anything.
Still looks good! End of this test.

And it does; the pictures do not show up, because they are only attached to the original post. All working as expected.
My images are jpg - it's possible that the issue is with other types of photos. Off to check.

Re: Practice Thread
Are you having trouble posting, Sunnybird? Some people have reported issues adding images to their posts, and I am trying to test some of that, so if you've had a problem, I'd love to know the details.

Re: Practice Thread
I'm adding a large png image captured by catspairadice at the Trio nest; png images take more space than jpg images, which might be causing an issue. I'm first going to place it inline; it did take a long time to load, probably because I don't have a superfast internet connection - and it is 2.4 MB:
And now I'm going to add the same image a second time, not placing it inline.
And that also worked. I will mention that I know not all screen capture software can do this - but we would prefer to have the images saved as JPG when possible.
The third image here is the same picture saved as jpg - it looks the same to me, but is 244 KB, 1/10 the size of the full screen PNG image.

Re: Practice Thread
OK now I think things are working right.
What would happen is that I would Log On as usual. Then type a post, then screen would flip me back to Log On screen. It would do that with Preview and Submit buttons. Of course I would lose the message. I didn't get as far as to Add Files, so don't know about images.
If you can read this, things are working normally.

"Wings Crossed"

Thank you.
I thought this is probably happening to others also?

Re: Practice Thread
Some members have been having trouble attaching photos, and they tend to be people who post their own photos of wildlife, rather than screenshots, and those can be larger - so I'm going to post a few larger pictures to see if I have trouble with that.
My husband took me out to dinner yesterday for valentine's day, and a friend took our picture.
And I get the error - hooray! Much easier to fix if I can recreate the problem!
Test picture of our cat.
This is a small picture - 228 KB; a larger one, 1.2 MB (or 1200 KB) would not post.
Mmud's picture at 3/4 size - 405 KB
Mmud original - 1.5 MB

Trying my larger cat picture again - got HTTP Error
Deleted that, and am posting small cat picture - 302 KB
Clicked submit
Editing to add mmud's big picture
That worked - so now I'll try my big cat picture - HTTP ERROR
Deleted file, clicked submit, edited post
Trying big cat picture again - didn't work. Wonder if the problem is that my picture is 4000 px wide; mmud's is only 2000 wide.
Trying a picture that's cropped so less than 4000 px wide - Nope. And it's smaller than mmud's image.
Very strange.

Re: Practice Thread
Trying something else - large cat picture....
The picture I'm trying to add is about 1.7 MB, and I don't have enough hands and eyes to time it, but it seems as if it took about 5 seconds before the green bar reached the edge and I got the error message.
For normal screenshots, that happens so fast I rarely notice the status bar on the right.
When this doesn't work, if I X out of the error box, I still have no way to post the picture, and it doesn't show up as an attachment, because it's not uploaded.
After posting the picture above, I re-edited the post and looked at the attachments, and the one that didn't load had disappeared.
