Has anyone heard of Imgur? Any of you have an account? I'm being told that we can use that to help attach images, but you have to start an account? It might be more steps to less steps, I don't know.

It seems we can upload our image to Imgur and then add the image to our post by writing [IMAGE]URL OF IMAGE[/IMAGE].

I have an account there. I don't have much experience with using it as I only have some stuff for my UFP signature on there. From my understanding, it seems to turn the pictures you post there into various formats which can then be easily linked to other locations for ease of use. Recalling my own earlier use, I think you just have to submit the image link between the [IMAGE]X Y Z[/IMAGE]. Place the text you copy/paste between the wording I've mentioned or submit an "insert image" command (it looks like a camera in the bar above where you type) and follow the prompt to submit the image URL.

Why not? Is it blocked?

[Scarlett]

Yep. Can't see many websites for security reasons. It's ok because non-work means

I use Imgur for it's convenience in other avenues and have even used it here on occasion.

Okay, cool, will it work with your image on here?

What's the object over my right shoulder? It looks like someone was sitting back there and their head was edited out. Doesn't that look like the shoulders of a uniform?

I don't see why not. Will work on it later today

That's pretty spooky. The Headless Ensign...

I thought that scene was from First Contact, but Picard looks older.

I have Imgur and that's where my picture is hosted. Just be aware when uploading images that you don't let them "Post to Imgur." Imgur is both an image hosting site and a social media type site, where pictures are Upvoted/downvoted. On the social media side, they are merciless on selfies and such, and you'll find your pictures with all sorts of comments under them.

Great, sounds like a wonderful site to use haha thanks for warning us!


Coincidentally, I'm teaching my students tomorrow how to build a filter to clean dirty water. They're aren't allowed to actually drink it, though haha.

Delicious!

FYI on my most recent mission post, I didn't find too many details on the Battle of Tyra either in Memory Alpha or Memory Beta so came up with my own scenario of the battle. I wanted it to make sense with the idea of Gul Enok being a tactical genius so drew inspiration from the Battle of Cannae. One of the first recorded pincer maneuvers was used during the battle which led to the Carthage army's victory over the larger Roman Army.

Well that takes the fun out of it! *L* But of course, I understand why.

I know...we can't risk something happening to the kids haha. I taught a wilderness survival class over the summer and told the kids that we can't eat lunch until someone can start a fire with a bow-drill. It took all morning but someone finally got a fire going haha. I made it worse by making mine and telling them that it didn't count.
