You know what they say Grazie...it's the first 60 years that are difficult, after that it gets easy.

Happy Birthday!

Clearly it's FF Mike...
No problems with IE8...

I'd like to thank everybody for their kind wishes and to Mike for the advice on how to access DB on FF.

jr and I did get to chat on SKYPE.

"Grazie, after all these years", clever.

Now, back to werk......

Grazie

@Tom & Mike: Well now I'm at a loss. All thru this discussion I've never had a problem displaying Grazie's pictures. Both the Link= and img= displays seem to work fine for me and IE9.

I do know this: if you use the img= convention to post your picture and this forum's software cannot resolve the URL, your browser will show nothing - not even an indication of an error.

For example, below I will type, "Start[img=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20447760/Bogus.PNG]End"

StartEnd

If the forum software were working as I think it should, the display should look something like the following. Of course you will only see the following image if you can properly see images (the linked image is here.)

So, after all that, what's the source of this problem? I dunno.

Edit: Okay, I did a little poking around. This forum's html looks like this: "Start<img src=" If they would change the default height & width to 30px, then the red X (image missing icon would show).

Try shutting off the pop up blocker.

John,
Makes no difference here.

I should add that I have no problem seeing the pictures, in-line, in the thread "What do you look like (2010)".

Although I suspect it is rare for anyone, anymore to have scripting turned off. I guess it should be noted that this forum uses javascript to display the images and if you have scripting turned off, the images will not display.

Ah, Grazie - you are still a mere youth. Enjoy being 60. It wasn't bad at all!

Happy Birthday!

Dear Grazie,
Best advice I ever heard ~

Don't act your age.....Act your shoe size !

I can do a '10' quite well, and its a lot more fun ;-)

Now if those were dog years I would have to worry, but you're still a spring chicken or at least a fall quail.

Anyway a Very happy Birthday to you.. :-)

Age, IQ and waistline: all right around that same number... ;-)

Grazie, gratla med dagen, as we say in Stavanger. Looks like 2011 will be over before I make it to London. Are you planning on another big freeze this winter? I'll bring a scarf, then.

Torzie! It'd be good to see you again, when you can.

Grazie

Happy B!!!!!! Just for clarification, was it the bottle that was 60!??? Or was it that you master 60 shots from a 60 year bottle!??????? Have a great day! :-)

Now you have a valid excuse to go to "BAMS"---"Big A-- Monitors" 30" or over.

Is that 60i or 60p? 8-)

Laurence wrote on 9/12/2011, 1:43 PM

I just turned 50 today. Weird that Grazie would be an NTSC age while living in the UK and I would be a PAL age living in the US. ;-)

Grazie wrote on 9/12/2011, 2:21 PM

Happy Birthday Laurence. Good catch!!!

What's NTSC?

Grazie

NTSC, named for the National Television System Committee] is the analog television system that is used in most of North America, most of South America (except Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and French Guiana), Burma, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, and some Pacific island nations and territories.
