Brand spankin new here. Thanks in advance for all you’ll teach me. Will contribute when appropriate.

Am I seeing/reading correctly that photos must be uploaded via a web based photo storage service? If I’m wrong please advise. If that’s correct i believe it’s 2021 and there are forums that allow uploading from user’s computers, tablets, smartphones directly from their photos and automatically resize to accommodate the forum. I’m no techie, just a simple guy who loves technology when it’s intuitive and simple. FYI, I don’t want to use a photo storage service. Thanks in advance!

File attach fields at the bottom of post creation form works fine for photos.

Howzit PW from the Southern tip of Africa.

I see that you hail from Tigard, Oregon.
Google Earth Pro shows Tigard as being in Washington...?
Or do you live East of I5 freeway?
That seems to be in Oregon.

Am I looking at country borders, not State borders?

Oh, there it is. Thanks

Yes, Tigard is in Oregon just west of Interstate 5. The name of the county is Washington which can be confusing.

I’ll post some photos of “Charlene” very soon. Thanks for the guidance and well wishes.

I think Greeneville is likely the worst?
NC, SC, TN et al

South Africa isn't very big, but we have Ladismith (Western Cape) and Ladysmith (KwaZulu-Natal Province) Middelburg (Mphumalanga Province) and Middelburg in Eastern Cape Province
