It's back in I've arrived!

The other place. It’s back. I never properly settled here, so I’ve revived my account over there. I’m sorry, I have a feeling this will annoy some people, and I’ll probably have to double up, but I’m glad it’s back. All the bloody notes have gone, but some of my original friends are still there, and that’s great. If I can post pictures there, which is something I’ve never managed here, then it’ll be a sad sayonara from me. I can’t have a diary with no pictures.

I put (without spaces) < img src= " direct link from photo sharing site " class=" center-block" /> That is it!

Oh believe me, I've tried it all!

Cat Mommy Icklewriter ⋅ April 03, 2018

That sounds off to me. There's no reason it shouldn't work. Are you sure you use the DIRECT link and not the IMAGE link? Because if you use any other type of link besides direct it won't work.

I know this is going to probably annoy you, but I got so sick of trying I don't even care any more.

Cat Mommy Icklewriter ⋅ April 04, 2018

Why would it annoy me?! I just thought I could help since you said you can't have a diary with no photos. No worries! :)

Yay! Thanks for trying to help. And Phew! :-)

I doubt I'll ever return to OD--too many trust issues Bruce!--but the new fella running the show here, Josh, did ask everyone what they wanted out of this site, and A LOT of folks said an easier way to add pictures. So something might happen on that front (although the when is a bit foggy at the moment.)

Icklewriter Firebabe ⋅ April 04, 2018

Wait. I thought this site was closing. I'm confused hell now.

Cat Mommy Icklewriter ⋅ April 04, 2018

Nope. The site has a new admin now (named Josh). So hopefully it will be around for years to come.

Yeah, what Cat Mommy said. =) Basically:

  1. Simple Mind announced he was closing the site
  2. Much mayhem, madness, and apparently threats ensued
  3. Some people came forward and offered their database / website skills to help keep PB running
  4. A gentleman named "Josh" stepped up, and agreed to take on management of the site, along with a small handful of other people
  5. Simple Mind retired site management to spend more time with his family
  6. Mayhem and anarchy were stopped. Everyone went home and had a good cry and a bowl of ice cream to recover.

It was a little hairy there for a week or so, but the new fella seems on the ball, and to have the site's best interests at heart, so fingers crossed we're all here for the long haul.

Well, it would appear I missed all the drama and nothing changed. My ex-husband used to have a 'do nothing' policy for times when everyone was panicking. Generally, his theory was that things would work out one way or the other and he would just sit back and wait for that to happen, whilst changing little to nothing himself. It seems I accidentally adopted his policy and look at that, here I am and everything (except for the site manager) is the same). :-)

I’m told it’s much easier to post photos over on OD so you may like it better but the general consensus of opinion seems to be that it’s just not the same now and certainly doesn’t run as well as here. Either way at least now you have a choice!
