then post,
and what comes up every freaking time is the link and not the pic.

What am I doing wrong? UGH! I don't do this often enough to remember from time to time, so I WILL copy and make a word document just to be able to look it up when needed.

here is an example of what happens....

To post a pic here, you need the url of the pic itself, not the link of the page the pic is on.

So when you go to that link on FB, right click the pic and choose "copy image url" - or something similar, based on what browser, etc. you are using.

For your pic, it looks like this: https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/...98223762_n.jpg

See that .jpg at the end? You should always see that.

Then come back here, open your post, choose the little yellow pic icon, insert that image url (making sure you only have 1 http://) and that's that.

So your pic will show up like this:

Also, I thought I'd post a link to a post earlier in the thread where I give instructions on how to post pics - complete with pictures. lol

Now you can book mark it and come back to it when you need to.

Wow!!! muahhh muahhh muaaaahhh! That was exactly the example pic I was trying to use! How didja get it??!! I totally get it now, using the pic itself for the address, kinda makes sense even to a non geek like myself! Also, on post #3 here it states to use the web address box to copy and then paste. So I was working with incorrect info! Thank you so much for taking the time Parker!

I got an email the other day that had the Apple logo and purported to be from iTunes.

The return email address was iTunes Connect.

It looked very official and stated I needed to update my iTunes account.

It asked for confirmation of email address, my credit card number, the security code and then the massive red flag:

My social security number!

I knew it had to be phishing.

I reported it to Apple without responding to the email. Apple /iTunes said they will never ask for credit card number in an email and absolutely never will ask for your social.

Just an FYI reminder about phishing emails.

Yeah, I saw something about this on a hoax page I follow on FB and I was totally going to say that the instant they asked for a credit card number, it had to be phishing - add that onto them asking for SSN and no way is that for real.

A good rule of thumb online is that no company will ever ask for your password, credit card number, or SSN via email. Any email that asks for any of those things is phishing for your personal info so they can steal your identity &/or get into your accounts.

Good catch, Anya!

Hi helpful members! I am wondering if someone that went to the community meeting at the reunion would be able to update those of us that missed it. I was thinking (besides the fun, love and laughter) it would be great to stay current on the "state of the community".

Thank you!

I think it would be cool if it was recorded and posted like the, "State of the Planet", videos Medusa did a few times when the site first opened.

It would be fun to see the exchanges between people, too. It would make me feel like I was there.

ETA: The only problem would be people who didn't want to be recorded. I respect that.

OBSERVATIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS OF ONE VERY TIRED MEMBER.THIS DOES NOT HAVE A THING TO DO WITH ADMINISTRATIONS OUTPUT OR INPUT, IT IS ALL MINE.

Hello,
The meeting, composed of members of the site from various areas around the world, met in a theater like setting. We had questions, answers and discussion.
Group discussion, questions and answers ensued on time in the locale posted in the Agenda.
(Most of the fun, love, and laughter occurs at all the wonderful events).

BFP is an active site with X # of members... The complex programming and errata data are maintained and monitored, /pretenders/assuming alias names, etc. ,can be, should be and are reported. Some can be/are sent to outer cyber space, and not allowed to mess in our sandbox. . The financial information is contained, maintained and in the bookeeping style of those that F*kin understand it, an d have the neeeed to know. (I don't feel that need
Various Membership levels are always available and are your choice.
We are there for each other. Huraaah

Much talk on Stay in Little Rock, Explore other cities and styles of Reunion get-together.
We can talk about anything, as seen in the thousands of thread and posts. (red flags and dire consequences are held on an individual basis, as we are so very unigue. Some folks off on tangents get a time to ponder their thoughts, such as sitting in the corner for a child).( I know I got a "notice" one time, and thought about what and why I was singled out. I wasn't.the other person was too, and I spose we deserved it. It did make me realize, my words affected anyone who read them, and I would never want to do that. ) Besides, can't we all just get along.
People have donated to the scholarship fund which aids in helping members attend.
We are there for each other. Hurrah
Many of the threads demonstrate how we communicate so well together, even when we have differences of opine.
Serious business, cranks and crackpots, plague ,community contagions leading to a virus and things general membership need not be bothered with, trained for, and responsible for, is handled by Admin/moderatrs. Please report those that are any of the above.. We just continue along the happy road of posting. (hey, I never thought this was on-line therapy).

Group discussion on venues for the future.

Other Member Announcements: Get your order to Kristopher Shane for the you -know-whats (hadda be there)

Camping is fun. Some have tents, some want a bed and breakfast in the woods (raised my hand).

What's said in Las Vegas Stays in Las Vegas...Maybe Las Vegas ? Maybe Not?

Thanks all around for the support and help of keeping the train on track, and the smoke just that, smoke.

Mud wrestling and such was never brought up. But I think it may be a good discussion.
