Technical Test Thread

Me too, Badgie.  A pain, though, as you say :-(  Thanks for putting my mind at rest, DOGGIE, I'm desolate at the mo, what with my recording problems with PP-owl stream :'(

Cirrus, Tiger, Diane in Indiana..the heron was amazing to see as I'm only a few miles outside Manchester city centre. Wonder where it lives?

I'm on IE8 now and will test my picture upload that did not work with FF yesterday.....

Above was the first case of bird flu reported ;-p

It worked but I've spotted something interesting..Can I describe it properly though? When I use FF I do not get the normal cursor arrow in the upload file dialogue box. Instead I get a rather jittery capital I symbol which I think is called a caret. The process for choosing the file then seems rather awkward. I always wondered why that was :~?

I'm just going to test a change in the uploaded picture size. The above was done using the default setting of 500 wide, 0 high( 0 always seems odd for the height ) ?:~?.

This second insert was done by altering figures to 300 wide and still 0 high. I remember also trying clicking the image and resizing using the resize tool that appears around the image. That resulted in the photo centre justified instead of left justified. I could not seem to get that changed. By the way, I'm finding it difficult to describe what I'm doing here ;-?

Now to preview and post...here goes....

Actually, while composing this post in IE8, images are seen left justified but preview shows it centre justified ? Think this is 'twisting my melon man' so early on Sunday morning! ;-) phew!

Back in FF7 now...undefined problem still there on image upload!

Thanks for the warnings about FF 7.1 - I have an update pending, but will hold fire!!

I don't understand about picture sizes :-(  Am in Chrome now, about to test upload:

Goodness!  That was even slower than FF :o  Worked, tho.

ALSO... My mouse pointer, instead of changing to the "I" (with serifs) caret as it does in FF, changed to a little hand with index finger pointing, like it should.

Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhh   SCYLLA. That is SO cute

I got it from a series of stills on YouTube, it's a nest box in the wild, it's a huge family.

Thanks doggie. I've just popped over there.

Re: Sightings thread mentions of translation plug-ins and their compatibility. One can manage add-ons/plug-ins via the Firefox tools or use this link, ideally within Firefox, to check the status of these useful extras, I am stumped as my laptops are 64 bit ones, with some software 64 and some 32 bit applications and I fear that using this route could cause some instability, so I am working round the problem for the time being, Java is probably the most urgent to solve, but the website says I should do two updates, one 64 and one 32, which I do not like.

Add on checker for Firefox.
