Is anyone else having trouble posting photos via TinyPic? Can anyone see the two photos in my siggy? The only way I can get photos to post recently is through Tapatalk on my iPad.

Aren't supposed to use tinypic any more...was turning some posts into porn. I forget what we are supposed to use instead.

akraus2015, butler is correct. Tinypic is banned because it recycles urls which sometimes can mean cute animal pictures in siggys are all of a sudden peens. It was in an amusement a few weeks ago.

You can try imgur.com. Very similar to tinypic.

Yeah, the admins had to act or TCF would have been shut down by proboards because porn is a no no for them. So anytime tinypic(dot)com is posted it breaks the link SO the picture won't show. It's on the banned word list.

[ceejay]

Yes, here's the thread about not using tinypic:

Here it is

[dashook]

Yeah, no more tinypeen. Imgur works; I use Photobucket too. It's so 2000 and late, but does the job.

rablissful or butlerfan, do either of you know how to use imgur?  I figured out how to upload and how to get the link, but not how to resize like you can in TinyPic.  Now my photos are huge.

I'm here! Thinking about going downstairs to get myself a Palm Breeze. In a can. Cause I am that classy, ya'll.

I'm also trying to write up a proposal for creating a Facebook group for the HOA. But I'm really not feeling motivated and just want to go play video games.

My mom gave me a $100 visa gift card for Christmas. Then, today, Fred Meyer was having a big sale on apparel, including 40% off clearance items. And most of their sweaters just got moved to clearance! I got a blouse, a sweater, 2 tank tops and a new bra for $70. Not too shabby.

I don't know what Fred Meyer is...[[runs to Google]].

I think everywhere but the West Coast it's Kroger. But they're basically like a higher-end Super Walmart - groceries, apparel, home stuff, electronics, etc.

Hi friends! I had a productive evening and finally finished up my to do list of things I wanted to get done while I was home from work for the holidays. It feels so good to have gotten everything done! My house is organized and in order at least for a little while...

Now I'm finishing up my mulled wine and watching Downton Abbey. A nice end to 1.5 weeks off from work.

This is my biggest fear about moving to full-time work from home. I'm going to have to purge the house of anything remotely snack food except like carrot sticks and fruit, because I know I will just mindlessly snack all day.

If I worked from home full-time I might be okay, because then I could establish a different routine, but the holidays just throw me off.  Too many baked goods and too much liquor readily available, and too many people willing to eat and drink right along with me!!

Yea, I think once I get into a routine I'll be ok. At the office it's like "Ugh, but if I want a snack I have to PAY for it. " At home I'm like "ooh, chips."

Are you in the northwest? That's the only place I've seen a Fred Meyer! They are pretty amazing!!

I am! I love Fred Meyer so much.

I just resize after I copy the image into TCF. If you change the maximum width option to 50-60% instead of 100%, that will make the image smaller.

You can resize through code in your siggy. LED posted an excellent tutorial a while ago, I'll see if I can find it.

Question for the thread (or, WWDrinkingThreadDo)?

I recently signed on as an independent stylist for Stella & Dot, and I'm having tons of fun with it. (If you aren't familiar with the line, it's boutique jewelry and accessories that are purchased through online or in-home trunk shows).

Anyway, their spring line is being released next week, and I'm doing "Mystery Hostess" online shows for several groups. Basically you shop a specific link and all orders over $25 gets you entered to win all the hostess rewards (usually $250+ in free product, plus discounted items). You get additional entries for each $25 you spend.

Is this something that would be fun to do for GKU? Is something like that even allowed on the boards? I don't want to accidentally break any (more) rules, so I figured I'd ask and see what a few people think.

I'm holding off until tomorrow morning! Trying to get serious though

[akraus2015]

Figured out the image resizing...thanks pismoduo , butlerfan , and rablissful !!

[onesweetworld]

I vote no akraus2015. This is the last place I want to be solicited to buy that stuff. I didn't mind the holidays shopping board and that was fine to go to but not here.

That's just my opinion.

Good to know, thanks for your input!  I did post something in the TCF Marketplace board, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.  

ETA:  Your response is all the input I needed, really.  You probably speak for the majority in this case.

[akraus2015]

One glass of wine was all I needed...headed to bed, folks! Goodnight!

Help me be less old.

A couple of friends keep making reference to "BEC" which according to Google is "Bitch Eating Crackers."

BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN???

Hahaha! I have no idea what it actually means but I am losing my shit at "bitch eating crackers!!"

I freaking love Downton and I'm so glad I now have a Sunday show again. It was boring there for a while

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one!

It's apparently what you call someone who consistently annoys you (again, according to Google), but I don't understand what crackers have to do with it.  

Gah.  

[onesweetworld]

I think I'm calling it a night too. Goodnight ladies!!

Thank you.  Now I understand what crackers have to do with it.
