I think you were right this thread has turned into a problem thread rather than a guidance for newcomers.
Perhaps you should start a thread called "problems with this site"LOL!

"Was that for saving text Doug ?"
Yes JB, or anything else you've highlighted with the cursor 👍
CtrlS will save and CtrlV Pastes.
For easily viewing all forms of graphics and photos plus most video formats I can heartily recommend IrfanView. It's Freeware, dead easy to use and has a lot of useful functions for viewing, scanning, and modifying pictures by cropping, changing colours and textures etc.
Get it here for Nowt😉

Cheers, Doug 😎
PS Gotta go now. Got a dinner date 😊
CU later.

Was that for saving text Doug ? sorry not sure what this was in relation to. These replies come up all over the place at times. If it was playing the gif --download, open with paint, close paint, right click -open with -I Exp

Got it, windows explorer plays it about 10mm square, about right too. How simple was life before comps ?

Very Odd Graham, I've never had to do that!
So I can't say what could cause it. Maybe Fireboat can help on that one.
He's the guy doing all the coding behind the scenes 😊

No not a player JB. That expects a video of some sort.
Use a graphic app like Irfan view or the Windows On-board Photo viewer.

I’ve seen that problem using a PC. Already learnt you have to load pictures first, then add the text. Otherwise the text disappears.🤔

"when you go back your blurb has gone and you have to re-do it?"
Are you using the Mobile App JB?
I don't get this phenomenon on the PC!
See attached pic of me on the computer as proof.

"when you go back your blurb has gone and you have to re-do it?"
No I haven't had that, at least not for some time JB.
What exactly was your sequence of actions which caused it?

In reply to myself, how did your pic get into my reply, - there's something fishy in Norway!

"Slartibartfast : Perhaps I'm old and tired, but I think that the chances of finding out what's actually going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say, "Hang the sense of it," and keep yourself busy. I'd much rather be happy than right any day."😉
"I enjoyed Norway the most, all those lovely fiddly fjords"
Seem to have got a bit off track here guys! Now we're cruising the universe!!

BTW Doug, as my introductory offering (as an old comer-not a truck, 1m only), have you noticed that if you write your blurb in a reply and then add some pics to support said blurb, when you go back your blurb has gone and you have to re-do it?

Aha! The first bit of useful guidance JB 👍😁

Hi Peter,
"send details of the website on the other side of the asteroid belt"
I'd love to but comms are a bit difficult.
I'm still waiting for an answer to a query I sent a couple of years ago🤔
Tea was frozen solid by the time it arrived☹️ and no sugar 😝
I'll order from 'The Restaurant at the End of the Universe' next time!

Please can you send details of the website on the other side of the asteroid belt. They might supply tea whilst posting.😬

IDIOTS GUIDE
HI Doug,
I hope that I have not stirred up a hornets nest.
I was only thinking of something like an idiots guide.
Such as :-
Under the heading "How to use this site".
How to add / delete photos.
How to start / edit a thread.
How to choose a thread category.
That sort of thing, just the basic stuff to help a new member get started.
It could be placed in the (this website section,on the home page )
