Re: Stupid Forum

I agree with WW Bloomin cheek.This is the friendliest site on the web and it doesnt take long before you get the hang of it if you persevere and there is always someone that will put your pics posted in forum gallery into the forum for you.Chill out and give us a chance you will be pleasantly surprised

Well if you can be bothered to look at the pictures they are under AMR 1, AMR 2, AMR 3, AMR 4.
I have been losing a lot of sleep, determined not to allow your over annotated forum to beat me, but it has. I shall stick to the plain question and answer forums I have known.
CAN WE NOT JUST GIVE HIM A REFUND???

Re: Stupid Forum

Hey, this is a very friendly site and all I've had since I joined is friendliness and helpfulness...and that's despite asking some extremely no-brain type questions which have always been answered with patience!

Some folks make the easiest of tasks difficult. Just as some folks are out to criticise for the sake of it.

Re: Stupid Forum

what a ridiculous waste of a post If he couldn't manage it he should have just left without a word.

Maybe just a wind up ? No-one can be interested in wildlife and be that mean and small-minded surely

Re: Stupid Forum

New here myself and yes, I've been going round in a few circles. Eventually I decided that it is an intelligence test to make sure they get the correct calibre of members so I refused to be beaten. Really struggeled to get images onto the Forum or Gallery so I went for a beer. When I returned I realised that I was right clicking on the wrong line under the image so I wasn't actually Selecting All.

For me, if the 'How To' instructions were in written form instead of a video it would be easy to print them and then have an easy to follow list right in front of you. But never mind, so far I have found the 'natives' to be very friendly.

They were in the 'Forum Images' in the Image Archive.

I just copied the Forum Code at the bottom of your pics & then pasted them onto this post.

Don't know what your bush is though.
Maybe someone who cant get their pictures the right way up might struggle a bit with the rest of the procedings though.

I like getting lost on here..I usually learn something new

Re: Stupid Forum

That's true actually, Honeybee. Sometimes I just wander around here and end up in places I would not deliberately seek out. Always there is someone who is knowledgable on the given subject and I always learn something new. This place is an oasis...

Re: Stupid Forum

........actually this situation reminds me of a lady I have now bumped into two or maybe three times at a North Wales Reserve......... she was so angry and huffed and puffed and sighed that I felt like laughing - I've never seen anyone get that aggravated before (well if I'm honest I have - myself very occasionally - but I would never show myself up by doing it in public and never aimed at another person - its always aggravation with myself when it happens.......) But this lady was obviously annoyed that someone else had dared to come into the hide at the same time as her - then for us to set cameras up must have been the last straw......... On one of these visits we had my mum-in-law with us and she is a seriously laid back person - very quiet and restrained and nothing much gets her going but its one of the very few times in 16 years that I have seen her eyes flash and her fingers itch

Re: Stupid Forum

rosbullterrier seems to be an apt name as he is apparently all brawn and little brain. All he had to do was ask for help and I'm sure many members would have given him advice, after all there are thousands of members on this site, the majority of whom have used their brain to figure out how to upload a photograph.
I too had problems at first but received useful advice from several members on how to upload photographs.
I'm a member of several forums and all have different methods of posting photo's but none require a degree in rocket science.

Talking Re: Stupid Forum

I have had my teething problems on uploading pics and still manage to lose a thread while trying to upload a photo ,
But I start again and upload to archive from my file then submit my photo , I open my photo up and go down to the line telling me about the pic and left click on the line, then right click and copy, I go up to the forum, click on the one I want, and start a thread, when i've finished asking a question I right click and then paste , simple! innit!
Then sit back and wait for all you knowledgeable people to help me out ,
For which I am extremely grateful. I do not consider this site stupid.
Duncan,

ps;I hope this helps someone out that has trouble uploading.
