Just be sure you grab the right image if you just by happenstance, have a porn site open.


I'm just sayin`....

What's a "porn site"???

I think that's "pom" site, you know, for cheerleaders...

So, I want to test the drag and drop feature of this new forum.....The above image was clicked on in a google search and dragged to this reply box.

Shall we see if it appears?

It appeared to be one of my cats....must have escaped from the Cat Lover's Thread.....looking for coffee....Smart Cat, came to the right place...

It took me forever to figure out how to post pictures in the last system. I'm guessing I'll figure it out here in a little longer than forever.

You can just drag and drop the image into the quick reply box and if there is no link block on the image, it will appear when you post.

Hey it works!!!! Very cool. Don't know how much application there will be for it, but good to know we can do that!!!!

Just be sure you grab the right image if you just by happenstance, have a porn site open.

I'm sure I have no idea. EXCEPT, I was searching for something at work one time when I was still working in a claims office and I must have clicked on a wrong link or something among the options offered by my browser. . . .and the porn pics appeared on my screen--a slide show of epic proportions, one after of the other in rapid succession, full screen, full color. There was nothing I could do to stop them--couldn't click off the site or anything. Finally just turned off the computer at the switch. I was terrified somebody would come in during all that.

And isn't it amazing how the human brain can save every single bit of visual, auditory and kinesthetic information... no matter how fleeting...

 

[Statistikhengst]

Oh, this drop and drag stuff really DOES work... cool...

This is how the new format has me feeling.

Sheila, it's the same. Just grab you the URL, then come back and click on the icon next to the smilie up above, insert (paste) the URL and click on insert......Hope it works for you....

But you just get the link? Or do you get the picture? Cause up above where you had the link, I was able to go up to it and see the Cat, but it wasn't on the post.

I'd give Mertex avi rep, if I could.

Woke up to rain this morning. Good thing because we could use some rain. There's something about rain that makes coffee taste a little bit better. Don't know what it is but it surely does exist. Another thing that makes coffee taste better is listening to chipmunks sing in four part harmony.

It's the endorphins.....rain makes your brain create endorphins and everything is better, even Sex....

Endorphins ("endogenous morphine") are endogenous opioid inhibitory neuropeptides. They are produced by the central nervous system and pituitary gland. The term implies a pharmacological activity (analogous to the activity of the corticosteroid category of biochemicals) as opposed to a specific chemical formulation. It consists of two parts: endo- and -orphin; these are short forms of the words endogenous and morphine, intended to mean "a morphine-like substance originating from within the body."[1] The class of endorphin compounds includes α-endorphin, β-endorphin, γ-endorphin, α-neo-endorphin, and β-neo-endorphin.

View attachment 31307 And you know what? You can do it right off your computer too!!! I just dragged and dropped this right out of my personal photo files. This is great!!!
You don't have to put your photos in Photobucket or some such and then use the URL to move them here.

Oh wow! that's great!

Damn......I knew I was going to miss the rep feature!

To me that kid looks not so much "cute" as "trapped". Just sayin'.

I think all the features we had and had become accustomed with the old skin are probably in this new software in an even better mode, we just have to find them, figure them out. I've already figured out quite a bit of stuff...still find myself rolling my eyes now and then....but, it's a lot faster than the old one.

The new board is much speedier - and pretty easy to learn. I've seen some comments that it is "facebook" like. I don't use FB, so have no idea how it's similar.

The only complaints I have are that the right side of the page for ads and bars is too wide. I'd rather have the thread content have full page width...and Pixie should get her animated Av back.

I use Facebook, and this is way better.

Oh no, Pogo, that kid is definitely saying "F* You" to whoever put him in there! I should know, (experience... )

Good morning everybody even though it is mostly gone even here in the Mountain zone. I have been kind of dragging the last few days and decided this morning to stay In bed until I wanted to get up so I did. Slept until I could not sleep any more. And what a difference that makes. I feel wonderful today.

But then I found myself not looking forward to logging into USMB so much this morning and sort of bracing for the new look. I know me well enough to know that getting used to using new stuff when we do the old stuff automatically without even thinking about it is always stressful whether it is learning to use a new microwave or new sewing machine or new message board or whatever. It is frustrating here because I want to be here while visiting other boards isn't so bad because I don't care whether I stay or not. But admin is hearing our concerns and complaints and is gradually bringing stuff on line, working out the bugs, and adding features we ask for and I expect that to continue.

So I hope we all gradually become comfortable with the new thing and it begins to be familiar and unstressful. I really don't want to lose what we have had here.

Oh well...more coffee and a Mama Fox ((hug)) to all and then I'm going to see if I can get my new keyboard to work.

Fun fact: I have never used either a sewing machine or a microwave. But I'm navigating this new format pretty much OK once figuring out where the controls are, so all's well.

Foxy, the red arrow just showed up on my screen a few minutes ago - did you get it?

That must be it! I was wondering what was wrong with you.......

Sew what? I never needed a sewing machine

But I was the one who stopped the car on a remote highway in Nova Scotia on vacation and turned around -- my travelling companion said "why are you turning around"? She hadn't seen what I saw on a lawn with a sign saying "Free" but I did -- it looked like this:

​

We had to unpack her entire car, literally everything, to get that thing situated in the back and then re-pack around it. Customs at the border never had a clue.
