Yes, and it's not sure if they do it on purpose. There is a clear cognitive dissonance in this subject. I've read many papers were the authors describe something, just to conclude on the total opposite. Sometimes the reader doubts itself, and reading those twisted texts is draining.

I remember Fundie preachers doing that; they would read a Bible text and then preach an entire sermon on the OPPOSITE of what it said. I would sit there listening and wondering if there was something wrong with me, like had the rules of grammar changed so much since I was in school or did I get all those answers on tests right even though I didn't understand a word of it? I mean, a subject is a subject and the verb is the verb and they are clearly defined in terms of relationship and function. When it says "do NOT" do such and such, it can't mean DO it!

Dear Mods ...my photos weren't inserted between parts of the text like I wanted...I have very little experience with these things..maybe you can direct me to where I can learn to edit it properly ...and/or if its really easy for you to fix it, just do that.....if you read the text I think you'll see where I wanted to put each pair. Sorry about that, I really need to get up to speed on this posting business...( old dog/new tricks syndrome) Thanks, Dave

Hi beherenow,

Since your photos have been loaded directly from your computer, we can not insert them in the text.

You did exactly what you had to do when someone wants to load pics from their computer.

However, if you want to insert them in the text, you have to save them on a host and give the link to the host while using the insert pics function.

And if you want to insert a pic from any website, you right click on the pic, after that you choose property and you have the address of the pic. You copy that link and after that you insert it in the little icon "insert image. Hoping it is clear .

fwiw uploaded pictures to the forum can be included in a post, but the post has to be edited once submitted/the pictures uploaded.

Notice that somehow, by some really bizarre logic, they link "global dimming" to "global warming"!!!

Very true. This is why often I do not read the conclusion of a paper. I just read what was done, and the report of the results, and make my own conclusions about it.

Thanks RedFox for the hint. I didn't know that. ;)
 
Gawan, Laura, and Gandalf,

Thanks for the reply's....cool!, a sun pillar...much more appropriate term than mine.

Gandalf, the host thing got me a bit confused ( I don't know my definitions)....but I'll do some home work and figure it out...I'll pic my geek friends brain the next time he visits and annoy him with my simple questions. Thanks for your time and patience.....and great job on the fix and re-size.

thanks for the link Laura, when I took that pic I looked in some galleries on the web for something similar, but not having the correct term thwarted my search. Thanks Again...Dave
 
Sorry Red Fox...I didn't thank you too...after I loaded them ...I thought I could move them by editing them....but then I couldn't find the edit function.....now i see...I got to come out of my shell and post a bit more . Thanks again

Hi beherenow,

What Gandalf meant was for you to upload your images to an image hosting site like photobucket, for example. There are several free image hosting sites out there. Once you've done that, you will have a link to your image(s) which you can then link to. :)
