learn from others too

If you see something on another post and wonder "how'd they do that?" you can hit the edit button to see the coding in the reply window.

You will not be allowed to actually edit another persons post but you can see how they did it. like images:

(Analema, information here (click)

Finding the actual source for the images is another problem ...

enjoy.

Re: learn from others too

to post an image from a website:

(1) make sure the image is not subject to copyright restrictions

(2) find the url of the picture by right clicking on the image on the website and selecting "copy image location" -- you may want to check it by pasting the url into the browser slot and "go" to see it.

(3) use [img]http://url/of/picture [/img]

in previous example it is:
[img]http://infoart.udm.ru/tech/astrophisic/pictures/analema.jpg [/img]

Note that I have learned from Sylas on how to render the "[" and "]" properly for the coding ... (thanks)

Re: Copyright

Posting a link to the image alone would be gray area, as it would not have the copyright info associated with it. Better would be to post the page link and some means to find it on the page. I ran into this with the Laetoli footprints on the Wyatt's Museum topic
EvC Forum: Wyatt's Museum and the shape of Noah's Ark

I thought of showing the footprint seen on this page
http://www.mnh.si.edu/anthro/humanorigins/ha/laetoli.htm

and was all set up when I saw

*** The photograph of the Laetoli footprint has been provided to the Smithsonian Institution by John Reader, and is used here with his consent. Please note that this image is the copyrighted material of Mr. Reader, and cannot be used or reproduced without his consent.

Doing a google on images I found several copies of the picture online but felt it was better not to use it.

Re: Copyright

in message #5 I was demonstrating how you write the code to make the picture appear as in message #2. In message #2 you do not see any credits for the picture or the url, just the picture.

where the copyright picture is an issue (and I choose to respect such notices regardless of web accessability, and google images usually tells you too), it gets to be an issue if the picture is #20 in a long line

half canadian

and shouldn't that be

"BC eh?"

OK - Being Canadian is wonderful. But you're massively off-topic here. Can't you find a better place to chit-chat? - Adminnemooseus

Re: brennakimi from another topic

Be careful what you wish for.

This is verbatim from another site:

Subject: Re: Purpose of Government

Date: 10/1/03 10:33:47 PM EDT
Author: Suzanne400E

Well Beings not many in here will read this anyway I am just going to make my post and say what I think. After reading some of the posts Including about bearing arms and the central subject of Government and what is it's PURPOSE???? among other things.. that have been brought up in here on this thread..

ARMS... GUNS are and should be allowed to be had by anyone that wants one and is not a THREAT TO SOCIETY as a WHOLE . such as a CITIZEN that is not out to murder or kill anyone for any reason. BUT wants a GUN for HUNTING. or just a pistol for PROTECTION OF FAMILY and FROM GOVERNMENT THAT just MIGHT decide to KILL ya .. BUT there is another thought when it comes to GOVERNMENT wanting to KILL YA>>>> It is WRITTEN that anyone SAVING THEIR LIFE shall loose it and anyone GIVENG THEIR LIFE for HIS NAMES SAKE shall LIVE.. IN OTHER words as LONG as I AM DOING AS GOD SAYS TO DO and as HE LEADS I HAVE NOTHING TO worry about. FOR I NEED NOT FEAR MEN that can kill this body BUT FEAR HIM THAT CAN kill BOTH BODY and SOUL.... which is GOD ALMIGHTY.
AS LONG AS MY GOVERNMENT is FOR ME and GOD >>> I have NOTHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT.. BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT that is LISTENING TO the LORD and what HE has said TO do.. WILL BE PROTECTED BY HIM ALSO..

AMERICA IS ONE NATION (People) GOVERNMENT UNDER GOD. WE BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST as the SON OF GOD> THE RISEN CHRIST!!! LIKE IT OR NOT that is what OUR GOVERNMENT HAS ALWAYS been based on IS THIS TRUTH>>> that we have ONE GOD!!! and HE HAD a SON JESUS and that JESUS DIED FOR ALL MEN and ROSE AGAIN and now is having all authority IN HEAVEN and on EARTH.

WHAT is THE PURPOSE of GOVERNMENT??? TO DO what we the people want done PROTECT OUR LAND and our PEOPLE from EVIL !!!!!!!!!!!!! which is also what God would have GOVERNMENT DO to ERADICATE EVIL and WORK FOR PEACE AMONG ALL MEN, NATIONS, PEOPLE!!!!!!!!..

This poor dear believes she is channeling the holy spirit when she types in caps.

Then there is Jactitating Jingoist John Jaeger, whose main claim to fame is spelling (including being anal about caps), and a complete lack of originality:

More abject stupidity from a leftist/atheist/elitist "intellectual" pretender who can't even SPELL "intellegent" [SIC].

Not quite it.

You need spontaneous insertions with non-sequitur phrasing.

New Priorities?

I find it interesting that suddenly dealing with capitalization is more important than, oh I don't know, dealing with misrepresentations maybe?

Color me underwhelmed.
