    Jill, this may be why a number of your images no longer come up. When I copy and paste the image address, this is the explanation:

    Thanks for the heads up Running Deer and sorry for all the "blanks". I copy the image link when I post but I see that does not always work. I'll stop posting images until I figure this out.

    Mod note from Bill:
    I'm not clear how to work around the time-limiter, which sometimes seems to be built into the URLs (the links) that you copy and post. (I assume that if that was missed out, i.e. deleted out of the URL, it'd not work at all.)
    But do please by all means use the Sandbox thread to experiment! I'd absolutely not want you to stop posting all your wonderful photos and videos.

    No apologies needed, Jill. I usually catch your images in time. What’s unfortunate is that people miss out on your fascinating, informative pics.

    I'll grab graphics off the web and then upload them to imgur.com. It's a free site. When I say grab most of the time you can drag them to your desktop, or "control-click" then download image to desktop and re-upload to your account @ imgur.com. I understand some may feel it's time consuming or complicated.

    Whatever you decide... I continue to look forward to those funky photos.

    Thank you so much Running Deer - you are light years ahead of me in understanding this kind of stuff. I shall have a good look at your imgur link and print that out as reference. Hopefully, I'll avoid creating empty boxes in the future. Again, many thanks to you, Franny and Bill for the most excellent tutorials - its like getting free computer lessons . 3 Great threads - I love checking out all the videos, getting lost in the pics, etc. that people post on these threads - much needed escapism during these times.

    That's weird ... I received no such message ... just the image as intended. Wonder if its a locality thing?

    EDIT ... Never mind I see it was for the additional links and not the image. my bad. Actually I think I was commenting on the wrong post altogether.
    When you are one step ahead of the crowd, you are a genius.
    Two steps ahead, and you are deemed a crackpot.

    Talk about the universe working in mysterious ways! I was literally about to PM you Jill, with an apology for never thanking any of your posts. They are almost all blank for me, and I had assumed they were from Facebook or Twitter - I literally have them classed as untrusted in my browser.

    Re: the bug-eyed insect. I looked up larval stages and young of both mantids and grasshoppers - it was neither of those. So by a process of elimination we've knocked two off the list of 12,647,611 potentials. Not sure I have the time nor patience to go through the rest though.

    Note: the number 12,647,611 was invented - its probably far more.

    Jill, in case you were interested in checking out imgur.com. I usually bookmark my account and stay logged in that way I don't have to sign on every time.

    Here are the 3 steps after you’ve sign on to your account:

    Step One:

    Click on “Add images”. More than likely, it’ll be on your desktop (or where ever you store images).


    Step Two:

    Click on the image you just uploaded.


    Step Three:

    Click the copy button (BBCode) and it’ll automatically copy the image address to add to your post. (Just add/paste the link. Don't use the menu icons to insert graphic.)



    Options are a good thang,
    but no worries if you decided to pass on the account.
