• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Pictures Disappear

When a FB ad is posted with a picture, the picture will stay for a few seconds and the disappear leaving the link. I don't know if this is a bug or a procedural error in how it is posted. It may be other posts as well but it's most noticeable on the FB posts.

The rubber floor mat ad that @Dan Dubeau is an example.

Does this happen with others or am I special?
 
I save the images from facebook onto my desktop, then I use the attach files button at the bottom of the dialog box, and click insert "full image".

Click to expand...

I generally use the "thumbnail" option instead of full image. It takes less space to display and still leaves the full image available for download.

I'm adding a link to Dan's Original Post here for ease of reference.

@Dan Dubeau - if it's not too much trouble, could I get you to try that original Facebook link again in this thread? Maybe try it two ways - one with thumbnail and one with full image.

I'm not about to promise a fix (we basically gave up on that) but if we can find workarounds it would be a good thing.
 
Just doing a regular copy and paste here (on my phone) like @YYCHM does.1740249627152.png

Still had to choose a thumbnail.
 
On iPhone or MBA, select (right click on MBA or PC) image and save to "Photos," then use the little picture thingie (between the link symbol & Smilie Face in the edit bar) to upload where I want it I then grab one of the "handles" and shrink the photo so it takes up less territory.
