The former Birddogman saying hello

I thought I'd register here to check it out as a possible successor for me to DPReview. I registered under my actual name rather than the rather silly "Birddogman" nom de plume.

Trying now to post a few images to see how that works. Joy in the early season out west:

Bliss in action in the early season:

Some birds:

Wild horses on an uninhabited island from the sailboat:

Front porch at my uncle's farmhouse:

Looks like there are some old Forum folks here!!

Best!

Greg

Now trying to post a few test images hosted on Flickr:

Looks like that worked....

Two quick questions:

How do I know if someone has replied to one of my posts here, or to a thread in which I have posted?

How do I get rid of the file names that seem to carry over from Flickr?

Thanks in advance,

Greg

Hi Greg,
Thought I would say hello!
Randy

Greg,

Sorry, don't know the answer to your questions, but really glad to see you here. I hope you stay, cos reading about your, Nancy's, Joy & Bliss' adventures is the perfect start to my day!

Oh, I forgot, congratulations to you both

Tim

Hi Greg,

We're here (and on the Cyber-shot DPR Forum), watching and waiting to see which one things gravitate towards.

busbob here, good to see you Greg. Only glitch so far is in composing this reply I can't see the photo I've uploaded for trial. Going to hit "Post reply" anyway.

OK, Greg's photos show up as part of the thread. My just posted photo has to be clicked on to open in a separate window.

Any advice on how to fix that? I wanna be like Greg 8-)

Lovely photos. Nice to see you here.

Nice to meet you again, Greg-

Rapick

Good to see you Greg.

Congrats again on your upcoming nuptials.

Great shots, as always.

Jerry

Thanks! Hello to you as well!

Thank you and... thank you, Tim!

I haven't tried any others, but I'm kinda testing this site out, too, Phil and Karen. The technical convenience aspects of this site are obviously nowhere near those of DPR, but that's to be expected at this early stage. I'm willing to put up with that if I can find the same friendly, helpful and knowledgeable people here that were on the Cyber-Shot forum on DPR.

When you upload a photo from your computer using the little "up" arrow on the far right of your menu line (probably not the right tech term) at the top of the reply form, a reference to it will appear at the bottom left of your reply form. Finish writing your reply. Then, place your cursor wherever in your message you want the pic to appear; click on the little box shape just to the right of the reference to the pic and a line of gobbledy-gook will appear in your message at that spot. Hit "Preview" and you should then be able to see the pic. If all looks, OK, hit "Post Reply".

Give it a try, Bob.

Thank you, kind sir!

Glad to see you here as well!

Thanks, Jerry!

Yeah, pretty exciting. Neither of us intended to get married again - seemed like no reason to do that at our age. But doing some estate planning made it very clear that we'd be smashed by death taxes and such if one of us passed without being married. So, it's happening for practical reasons, but we've gotten into it now and its fun planning a party at our house for our big combined family.
