Me too Mike. We can play tumbleweed tennis.

I love it when the answer to a rhetorical question is "Well actually, yes".

Now how do I actually use that?

Right-click on the image, select "Copy image location" and insert it into a post using the code. (Obviously, you insert the location between those who bits of code.)

I found this, and lots of other cool ones, at this website.

Cool....

your serve EM....

Bear I have to admit I never used the copy image location option ... if there's two ways of using a computer I'll use the harder way.

(does that work on the google images links too? guesses first, please)

I'll be sticking around too, though I hope to discuss some politics while I'm here. Remember politics, our raison d'etre?

This has to be the best:

I can't think of what the harder way is. Unless you mean copying the image, hosting it, and using it that way? That'd be crazy.

Re Google images links, I'm not 100% sure what you mean. I've found images using Google, taken the location address and used that to post the image on p.ie before, but I'm not sure if that's what you mean.

Funny I was expecting p.ie not to resurrect till Easter but theres no reason why this neat site cannot continue to carve out its own niche.

Keep going on like that and the Bosses'll make you moderator of something yet! And if there's nothing there to mod they'll invent something

It's growth anyway, isn't it? There was a need more than an opportunity and someone saw it and now there's a bit more than there was before..

(are you still getting glitchy twitches with the refresh sometimes? I'm on linux/firefox and getting shitty little refresh issues. Guess it's the zeros and ones on this side because Vista/IE shows no hassles...)

Yay! Go Vist/IE for once!!!

I like the Irish section here too. Thinking of adding a new game soon.

That last one is still going strong... although I couldn't pronounce the word for 'squirrel' for the life of me (was that one of the words on bosco - o no, that's Gregory Gráineog.

I haven't had any problems since the start on Firefox.

No problems at all with Firefox? Is everything running nice and smoothly for you with it because it reloads with a bigger font for me sometimes all wonkily but I think that's my OS, not the browser. I think TT had something similar although they could have been referring to other little glitches that definitely exist around the place.

Yeah, I'm on firefox as well, and its a bit argumentative. Overlapping frames, different font sizes, the colour gradation on the sides extending across. Its only occasional, and goes away pretty fast though.

That describes what I'm getting Mike - phew ! - my graphics card isn't dying so...

None at all. Sorry.
