What IOS/browser versions do you both have? (And again - can you just post a link to the page on which the image you're trying to use is?)

Tyah... Looks like iDevices seem to be annoying in that regard. Looks like you'll need third party software to copy image addresses *properly* - since simply "Copy" ... really does something far too ambiguous to be reliable. Especially if the image also serves as a link or is otherwise not only image. Is it a specific image you're trying to use? Can you link the page it is on? I can short-term just fetch you its location...

Okay? If you hold your finger down on the textbox here until options appear much like you did with the image (*after* selecting "copy image location" with an image), there will be no option for paste available? There should be.

I'm on iPad so I just hold my finger down until the options come up,if it's an image I select copy,if it's text/link/URL,paste

There should still be options for both "copy (image)" and "copy (image) location", yes? The latter is what you use to put between the [img][/img] tags to get the image.

@Blizz Pasted? As in right click -> copy (select Ctrl+C) right click -> paste (Ctrl+V)? No.
If the image is uploaded somewhere ( = anywhere on the 'net) you can just copy it's location (right click -> copy image location/address) and paste (Ctrl+V) the link between the [img][/img] tags.

...@Mahz. Your url autoparser is a bit too overzealous. It doesn't get overriden by noparse. It also ate the [/img] closing tag between the noparse-tags before I put another space before said closing tag.

Yeah, being able to browse a list of those posts was in the plans. #someday

@Mahz

Oh, I know what posts have been liked. It's just that often enough it's completely random posts and people who never said anything...

Mahz's Dev Journal

I don't even know why I've received half the likes I have accumulated. Now imagine accumulating dislikes you wouldn't know why you received. Would most people rather be liked and not know why, or disliked and not know why?

3. Watch out for names, and replace them when you can. Adults respect and use names, but children have a fantastic range of filler words – mate, dude, man, etc, etc.

Many use nicknames. I know we did. Either nicknames or proper names. I ... actually never did go through the filler-word phase, unless you count sarcasm.

5. Relate to others as they are. Adults might treat others as equals, but children just don't. Strangers don’t get the same treatment as family, and adults aren't the same as friends. Show this.

Yes and no. Many children will gladly go forth and ask a total stranger something an adult would consider far too awkward. My own younger self found talking to older people very interesting, and the fact that the other was some almost random 20+ guy bothered me nil. Surprisingly many children I know (pre-school age) won't care whether the other is an adult. And asking your near-thirty "aunt" to build Lego machines with you or draw things with/for you (they'll want to draw the teeth themselves; they always do) is perfectly OK. I'd rather say many children are simply more straightforward rather than assume the "social scenario official façade" and do what's polite.

I'll also add that if a child takes interest in something, they can have surprising amount of knowledge about it. My own "thing" was animals and plants. Many children like dinosaurs, or cars, or some cartoon phenomena. Don't be too surprised when a kindergarten-age child knows what an ankylosaurus is or can tell a Ferrari form Mercedes.

(Taking your younger self or your younger relatives and their friends as a basis may be a good place to start if you don't know otherwise...)

Mahz said it would be basis for too much conflict a while back (the same was also the justification to why some other places removed their negative ratings not too long ago). Especially since RPG's ratings have names tacked onto them...

Mahz's Dev Journal

Yep, I am indeed a she.

(Making people of the net aware of the fact and having them remember it for more than three pages of a thread is merely RPG's new official definition of "futile" ... which is why I've mostly given up on reminding people of the fact.)
