You have to make the image into a jpg or it won’t post. You simply ‘edit’ it a little on your phone and when it’s ‘saved’ it will be a jpg. Good luck.

Thanks Dai. I don’t know what he’s done wrong then. There’s a new type of image that a lot of websites now use and I have to edit them before they’ll successfully post.

No, I'm not sure either, but maybe the address contains things like extra "." or "-" symbols. Lots of nsites now have images in WebP format, which can be converted to JPEGs before manipulation or re-posting. AVIF image files can be downloaded, but need an AVI plugin to display on your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m finding that I have to edit them from screen shot and can no longer simply save and post straight in.

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 31 October , 2022 Share Posted 31 October , 2022 Gerwyn, As Frogsmile says, the link only works if you're a subscriber to that magazine. In addition, I see that the two links you posted in your early posts are also links into the magazine website. Why don't you go to the image, right click on it and copy, then go to the reply box below, right click and post directly there. (You don't even need to save it.)

Not necessarily British going by that moustache and I’m not sure what his ranking is. There were several levels ascending in gold lace grandeur. A very similar uniform was worn for levee dress by HM Privy Counsel members. Although following a common theme of gold lace decoration each nation had its own special design of diplomatic corps uniform.

I’m glad to help. There is a name for the distinctive type of moustache our subject favours, but I can’t recall what it is. It was favoured by some parts of Europe more than others and might offer a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioneecorps Posted 1 November , 2022 Author Share Posted 1 November , 2022 Just had this from the gentleman FROGSMILE. Quote Many thanks, I searched for hours and didn’t quite get there.

Yeah HEIC photos - a lot of smart phones use this new format now as it is lossless compression so is more memory efficient than a jpg (AIUI) but not everywhere vna display them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense, I think that the style of moustache was called the Imperial (from Napoleon III). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
