Can one upload small .mov or .mpg files?

Posted By Dudley McCracken

I have looked through the various forum archives, but don't see anything other than single jpg files. I have a sequence of 11 images converted to mov (Quicktime) format (488 kb for reasonable resolution). I hesitate to try uploading the file. Is there any way to upload a sequence of images except by separate posts?

Thanks,
DJ McCracken

Sensitive Plant

Posted By Dudley McCracken

This is a "weed" that grows in our lawn in Houston during the summer. The leaves close when touched, so it is called the "sensitive plant". I've attached one image.

For those with high-speed connections, try the following for an 11-image gif sequence (700kb) from yard to pollen:

Help Great Blue Herons ate my small pond Koi fish

For a couple of years now, what I think is a green heron has come looking for lunch, genearally after a good rain. Good thing he doesn't have longer legs.

Do you like the new design?

I need to rate a seller. I went to the ad, looked around, finally clicked on the seller's name which went to his profile. A text box says I can rate the person, but the "button" does not do anything. What am I missing?

Thanks Jeff. It worked fine. Never would have thought to look there.
