Re: Split screen seen at local tip

The upload does work - but the site 'down sizes' the pictures. There's no point storing a picture 3000 pixels x 2000 pixels when they're only going to be shown at 640pixels or so wide. The small image only takes a fraction of the storage space of the large one. It takes time for the server to scale ...

Re: Changing signature photo

That doesn't look like a hack, just an error in the processing of the picture. I can't see the website files from here (at work), but I'll check it out later tonight.

I didn't see the posts before they were removed. I'll let you know why they were removed as soon as I've contacted all the moderators.

Re: Amp + Speakers = Insurance Mod?

So don't give them the chance to refuse. Try somewhere else first. I went to Peter James, and the whole thing was sorted out in less time than it usually takes FJ to answer the phone.

Re: Insurance

They didn't ask who did our modifications, but I didn't give them the chance - I got a better deal elsewhere. I suppose it may depend how drastic the modifications are.

Re: Magazine Negatives

Actually, that's pretty much the actual size of the negatives. The scan's are about 2500x2000 pixels, so way too big to post. I'll have to work something out once I've cleaned and rescanned them

Re: Socket Size

while on the subject what about the rear axle hub nut - need to do wheel bearings in the future. 1 and 7/16 AF very good point - however that would need a deep socket.

Re: Messageboard claims "my new email address already in use"

That's because you registered as philplumbe using the bigpond address.

So just to clarify - you want me to delete philplumbe and set your email address for plumby74 to the bigpond one?
