On the way to work this morning, patches of fog over Brisbane CBD.

Happy End of Financial Year to everyone.

Me neither JohnM - me tinks back end prob.

My problem with it started when I tried to delete a couple of pics that I had wrongly placed in a post. Did you do anything like that to seemingly trigger it?

I contacted Admin​ but he is mystified.

Awww, shucks - and we missed you too, Uppy .

Thank Rooflyer for the Snipping Tool tip .

I just uploaded a pic on another thread and I didn't get the duplicate 'Attached image'. Hopefully the mysterious glitch is fixed.

I think it was displaying it both as an embedded object and an attachment. When I replied earlier with quote, there was only one image in the quoted section.

I agree - but the question was why - and how are they different (I mean why have two methods to handle images)? When I posted the pic earlier today in another thread, I did nothing different than before, and it didn't duplicate with 'Attached image'.

And Yarram..

I was born and raised in Yarram.

"My" local surf beach was therefore the 90 mile at either Woodside or Seaspray (ie sand dunes then 100s of metres of pristine often squeaky sand before arriving at those awesome rolling breakers - all as far as the eye could see... left and right ... and not another person in sight). The 90 Mile Beach was my benchmark for "just-your-ordinary-standard-beach" 'cos I didn't know better.

When I started to travel in the 70s, people would talk about the "amazing" beaches I had to see, such as Waikiki, Santorini, etc. I couldn't wait to see what an amazing beach really looked like.

I'd stand there and look at their pathetic excuse for a beach, reminded very much of the lyrics from Peggy Lee's song....... "Is that all there is to your beach? Is that all there is? - if that's all there is then let's keep dancing, lets' break out the booze and have a ball..... "

I don't think I swam in "bath water" (ie Queensland waters) until I was about 12, so my attitude was "it is what it is" because that's all I knew: "sea water is brisk". I'm SO pleased you saw what I would have seen 55 years ago as a kid on that absolutely amazing beach and coast. (I'm getting all emotional now with the memories).

Only 2 good things to ever come out of Woodside Uppy are the road to Sale and the road to Yarram!

Did you meat any Foat's? Most famous family in the district - every second resident within a 10 mile radius of Woodside hotel!

What about their footy team? After 100 odd years Woodside could no longer stand alone - so they merged with a few others - Devon, Won Wron and Welshpool - and guess what they called themselves? Devon Welshpool-Won Wron Woodside Football Club - or the Footballing Alphabet for short!

BTW - spent first 37yrs of my life in Foster Coriander.

Oh Cruiser.. we obviously needed your introductions to meet a Foat .. I think we spoke to a total of three people and they were all lovely
Woodside is an awesome beach... great for the dogs and the fishermen said it was Salmon followed by Trevally (if you are interested in that kind of thing)..
Overall a wonderful mini-break
