We're meant to be going out for youngests birthday but me and the Mrs are full of cold man/bird flu so ordered pizza

Followed by home made birthday cake

I feel your pain, our whole house is riddled with lurgie atm. Colds, covid, scarlet fever, it’s bloody ridiculous atm.

Not just us though, illness is absolutely rife

Unfortunately they didn't last long enough :cry:

Pics aren't the best as it was very dark in there, but we went to a local Japanese Yakitori place last night.

Edamame
Bacon wrapped quail eggs
Crispy Tofu
Seaweed Caesar Salad
Pork Belly
Miso Corn
Chicken Hearts
Chicken Skin
Squid Karage
Soy Wings
Kimchi
Grilled Rice Cakes
Mushroom Rice

And probably some other stuff, tbh we ran out of space on the table.

Are you new to the interwebz?

haha...very funny

I've been posting on forums for 25 years pal but this is the first one I've used that doesn't even allow direct uploads from my computer files.
The admin here must be running the forum on a shoestring budget if he needs to use hosting sites and URL links for photo uploads

Seems to work fine for everyone else and the admin are pretty cool here and run a decent site.
If you want direct uploads try avforums, but dare never question the admins there :cry:

I can see hosting photos off other sites works for everyone else here pal but it's not something I've had to do before (hence why I asked for advice). Usually I just click "insert image", drag and drop selected file, upload, job done.

25 years on forums and doesn't know about image hosting websites. He's still wet behind the ears bless him.

Okay clever cloggs. Thanks for your opinion lol.

I'll now proceed to inform all other forums that they've been doing photo uploads (direct) wrong all these years.

Offsite hosting is for the winners and thanks so much for the education pal :cry:

GlitterBalls · 8 Dec 2022 at 10:11

No worries pal. I hope you take this education and use it wisely.

Welcome to the Internet pal :cry:

Upload direct to forum is useless.

1 - They always restrict the size, it often looks like a thumbnail
2 - They compress the file making it look rubbish
3 - If I want to post a similar question on a different forum I need to upload it again
4 - I can post the file at the size i want into the post without it resize for me
5 - It separates the men from the boys

I bet @Facemasker still uses Yahoo for his search engine.

Everyday is a learning day pal but they also say knowledge is power so I'll try to not share your wisdom too widely or it might upset the equilibrium of real life and destroy social media infrastructures

Bit too late for that pal, pretty much the whole internet knows about image hosting websites m8
