    Its not a debate thread Simon, we’re simply looking at the various things that we’ve acquired over the years.

      Hi Herlock,

      You are not the only one who has trouble with the technology. I tried to add a profile pic to my posts when casebook installed the new software, but it went all horizontal on me, just like your pics to this thread, and I gave up.

      How did you manage to get your avatar the right way up?

      Love,

      Caz

        Hi Caz,

        To be honest I can’t recall how I did it but it came up portrait first time. I did recently try to add a different avatar (another portrait of mine) but that came up the wrong way so I had to put the one that I have back on.

        Its all witchcraft.

                        Sorry about the late reply.
                        I vaguely recall you use an iPad Herlock?

                        I don't know what's possible on those things. I've never had a tablet or smartphone. On my desktop, any decent image editor will allow you to rotate an image. You can even straighten an image. For example your Tomb Tales image is a bit lop-sided. I use Irfanview myself, which is Windows only.

                        Like I said I don't know what is possible on tablets and smartphones but typically, those things are used to consume content only. Whilst I'm no coder or video maker, I do need to manipulate files sometimes. Audio files and images files usually. I'm sure it must be possible on a tablet but it's probably really clunky, especially with a virtual keyboard.

                        These are not clues, Fred.
                        It is not yarn leading us to the dark heart of this place.
                        They are half-glimpsed imaginings, tangle of shadows.
                        And you and I floundering at them in the ever vainer hope that we might corral them into meaning when we will not.
                        We will not.
