Thanks for all the advice chaps, I'll have to have an experimental session to see what works best.

By attaching and embedding it means everybody can see my posts.

You wouldn't believe one stupid move by a large company can cause so much stress  :banghead:

I'm really glad I can see it at last  ;)  Terrific job  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

Interestingly the November SAM has a build of a truck mounted/launched Pogo which was part of the origional Convair proposal apparently.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Surely, the Pogo just calls out to be whiffed!  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Don't you mean a stupid move by a government?
It's a typical "throw the baby out with the bathwater" overreaction.
Also one of their "confirm your age" choices is to upload a photo of yourself so it can be checked against your passport photo and information. Of course it'll be "secure" and "not be retained". Sure, it won't be. If anyone believes that I have an opportunity for you to invest in a bridge across the Irish Sea.

Imgur's response is not surprising, but
Photobucket and Flickr evidently don't
have the guts to do the same thing.

WARNING: THREAD DRIFT AHEAD

My reasoning has always been "so what? I have nothing to hide." Which I still believe is true, but these days, who is deciding if I have anything to hide, or not?

Nope I meant what I said,  Imgur threw the switch not HMG,  but I'm not saying they were not part of the problem.

I'm 71 and all I've posted on Imgur is photos of my cats and my completed Kits over the last four years (Ok a few of them might upset the odd JMN   ;D  ;D  ;D ) , not something that requires age checking I'm thinking and to be honest I've seen more "offensive" stuff on Flickr and Pinterest.

Yes, but I was referencing The Rat's comment, and how it seems to be the attitude these days in some parts...
I should have made that clearer, I agree.
