Often history is stranger than fiction...

Shades of Lancelot and Cinderella.
Having a name placard all ready on the big day sort of weakens the story.

That's prolly not 'the big day' pictured...

Never occurred to me. Duh.

Right, I highly doubt it is that day.
This one probably is though...

Now Paul Revere's famous ride to warn the minutemen the shit was coming to the fan was a freebie.
But riding around telling everyone after the shit hit the fan he submitted a bill for.

Paul Revere post is too small to read any part of.

You can't read the printing under the picture?
The black on white not the printing in the picture.

The cursive is difficult to see clearly, but the text underneath is crisp as a dried up cicada shell on my front steps.

It's cool that Paul Revere was made whole.

The added text is also too small to read easily.
I can't think of any other webpage I visit where zoom or magnification is not available.
That includes the old Cellar.
Not a fatal flaw, but a big PITA

It's way too small for me. I run FF at 170% text size here. But that doesn't help the pic, I set it to only enlarge text, not pics. The Windows Magnifier at 200% makes that pic's added text readable, but just barely.

YMMV

Hmm, the image is 10 inches wide and 9 inches high. The black on white printing at the bottom is 12 which is a little smaller than normal here but should be readable.

Baddaboom.....BIG Baddaboom

That is easy to read.
Can you re-post Paul Revere with that technique?

**Posted by Gravdigr** 5/23/2021 1:37 pm

The Revere image is only about 7.5" wide, and roughly three-fourths as tall, on my monitor.

The text about ol' Vince is fine on mine, too.

Post them however is easiest for you, it's only a couple clicks to go bigger. For me, anyway.

The Paul Revere image I posted is 10 inches wide and it comes up about 9½ on my 24" screen.

I assume a pretty thin population helps keep the count down.

Another busted myth!
Looks like crocs are worst:

Yes crocs are the worst, anyone seen wearing them should be shot on sight.

Proof not all the French acquiesced to the Nazis...

Links just go to website, no pic.
To get the pic I have to right click on image, go to "properties," highlight addy, copy and paste to Chrome (ME does not open.
This BS needs to be fixed.

I don't know what the hell you are doing....

Is your browser more than 15 yrs old?

**Posted by xoxoxoBruce** 6/03/2021 10:22 pm

Jim, when you scroll down to (open) post 19 you're seeing the link to the monkey (postimage) instead of the picture?

That is what I get instead of the picture for the last 2 weeks.

Wait, right click on the image?
You said the image ain't there how do you right click on it?
Are you right clicking on a link? If so why?
Copy and paste to chrome? What browser are you using.
I'm really confused.

Is it just my pictures, some others too, or all pictures?
I don't think BigV uses the monkey could you always see his?
