The last image I loaded using the File Manager is 214kb and it won't display in the thread. It's the same size as the one I loaded a couple of days ago that did display......
.....so I edited the image down to 188kb and it now does display. Did we reset the File Size Limit back to 200kb?

But it may be 200k is a limit for images to display 'in-line' ... or ... it may be a 'width' (in pixels) issue ... I am not sure. Lemme look into it, although Pak is kind-a busy getting the pending site update sorted and done, so not sure how quickly I will get an answer.

I am mostly interested in the "in-message" display of file attachments. I have noted a size restriction that is pretty small (200kb is fairly small IMO). | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,133 Likes: 5 Member | | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,133 Likes: 5 | Yeah, will be getting with Pak on this when he has a free moment. Once I know the limits and the details, I will let you know what they are and ... maybe ... why they are what they are ( because this awesome software is written and maintained by others, we =may= not be able to get 'reasons' <shrug> )

Seriously, we were walking back from the Sunset Strip, down by the seafront, and like school boys we took a shortcut down by the quayside, just outside of the street light.
Next thing we know, we hear, "Want sex!?" and I was like "You mean right now, or in general?", suddenly this hooker comes cartwheeling out of the shadows. Yes. Cartwheeling. And wearing an all black catsuit like the Black Widow or something. She grabs my balls, shamelessly, and asks again, "Want sex?"
Meanwhile, another ninja-hooker in a catsuit drops down off of the roof of the nearby kiosk and I'm suddenly adopting my best Roger Moore karate stance, because shizzle was getting rizzle.
Two vs two seemed like a fair fight, but we didn't know how many more were lurking nearby, so we backed off into the light. They were pretty damned insistent though, calling after us, "Yes? No? Yes? No? Yes? No?"
They must've been high as freaking weather balloons; I wanted to retort, "What do you think, you crazy bitch!?" But instead muttered to my compadre, "Let's get the f*** outta here!"
And so we did. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,133 Likes: 5 Member | | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,133 Likes: 5 | <heh heh heh> Ahhhh, now that takes me back!
When GenCon was in downtown Milwaukee, we found out the hard way, you had to be careful where you went. If you were just two blocks in the wrong direction you were in the area 'they' ... 'worked'. A friend and I found out when we took what we thought would be a short cut to a fine dining establishment that someone at the convention center told us about <shudder> However these were just plain working girls. They seemed particularly confused that we were not 'cruisin' in a car <chuckle>

1 heart
2 spades (skip bid)
4 clubs (Gerber - asking for aces)
4 hearts (Gerber response - I have 2)
4 NT (Blackwood* as part of the Zeim convention - asking for kings)
5 diamonds (I have 1 king)

OK, I have updated Jaliera's sheet.

Most of the bids required "alerts" (when used in bridge clubs), where you have to explain to the opponents exactly what your partner's bid meant. It could help in their defense if they have a better idea of what you hold in your hand.
I found, though, that the opponents who were good didn't really need that help and those that were bad didn't know how to use it. So having a clearer idea of what my partner held gave us a better shot at finding the right contract. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,133 Likes: 5 Member | | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,133 Likes: 5 | Zeim, I think that you have captured the true essence of bridge <chuckle>
