I've got 6 months of stuff to go through (though not a lot)

But I pulled out this one, and this is literally how it came from the camera (other than PS for resizing)

Is there anything I can do to it? It seems perfect as it is :s

Holy ****, that is one nasty spider, I googled:

The Goliath birdeater is fairly harmless to humans, as are most species of tarantulas. Like all tarantulas, they have fangs large enough to break the skin of a human (0.75?1.5 inches or 1.9?3.8 cm). They carry venom in their fangs and have been known to bite when threatened, but the venom is relatively harmless and its effects are comparable to those of a wasp's sting. Also when threatened they rub their abdomen with their hind legs and release hairs that are a severe irritant to the skin and mucus membranes. They are urticating hairs that can even be harmful to humans, and are considered by some to be the most harmful tarantula urticating hair of all. Tarantulas generally bite humans only in self-defense, and these bites do not always result in envenomation (known as a "dry bite"). The Goliath birdeater has poor eyesight and mainly relies on vibrations in the ground that it can sense from its burrow.

Females always mate, but sometimes may end up eating their mates.

Time to bring this back on topic, as I hate spiders!

Took this on Honeymoon in August '06 and I decided to tidy it up a bit. It was taken on a Point and Shoot Kodak, 5MP I think. Using Auto, as this was before I learnt to use the different functions of a camera!

Also, I don't know if I changed a setting by accident, or if others have experienced this recently, but images that are linked from flickr no longer load in this forum for me, just the link shows up. Photo attachments will show up, just not links from other sites...

Note: I did click NSFW (as I was at work the other day) but have since unchecked that... Do you know if any settings may have been changed due to that and not changed back when I unchecked block things which my be NSFW?

@remus_lupin You images on the previous page work fine but you last post they are just links. I think there is a setting in your profile but it should affect all linked photo's.

This is odd, even on the previous page others photos as well as mine still only show up as links... Clearly there is a setting that has been adjusted, I searched through again and couldn't find anything... I will find it eventually I guess

thanks for responding!

Weird thing for me is it was only your LAST post of images that's showing as links for me. The Option is under My Settings > Forums > Board Preferences.

Yeah, that's where I thought it was, already been through there, maybe I am missing something that is looking me straight in the face...

"I'm at work" is unchecked

"Show attachments as links" is unchecked... it seems to me that those are the only two that would possibly apply (more-so the first one)

Assuming you have "View images in posts, such as smilies and posted images?" Checked? It's at the top of the same page.

It's all good now, thanks!

Do you think we could get a mod to delete these posts?

Posts #562 through #568 would be good; I can repost the photos in post #562

Here's one I put together from 4 images. Taken in the South of France, just outside Saint-Cricq. Can't remember what it was called.

Taken using my wee Olympus SP-510UZ, on manual.

f/5.6, 1/1000, ISO100, 6.3mm (according to the EXIF!)

Agree, but where I was standing was at that level, so I couldn't get much in the way of an angle to get all the trees in.

I do however like the view itself, you can see for miles!

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
