Preview worked does the real thing?

It did for me how was it for you guys?

Hi Mike,

Really appreciate you having a shot at it - it appears not unfortunately.
I have found that the images preview OK, even on first posting they show up, but as soon as you refresh the page, it is gone.

The one thing that I now wonder about is this - is there some upload limit for images to these threads, as well as to the gallery?

They don't seem to work reliably. Could it be that pbase doesn't allow hotlinking?
Hi Tim,

I was wondering that for a moment also - however, the last of the four images in my original post seems to have linked and stayed linked. They are all from pbase and all from the same gallery, all K10D shots converted to JPGs in the same batch via LR3.

Any thoughts gratefully appreciated! I have tried a few times to contribute to the snow thread, and have yet to be able to show the image I have, although I'll keep trying of course

the best laid plans...
They aren't displaying for me now either, but did before on two re-visits.

OK - suggestion time: given the linking to images was the same throughout, are there any wiser heads with ideas please? Are there any site issues that may cause this? Or 'undocumented features' with pbase perhaps? What strikes me is that one of the four images has successfully linked and displayed from the start...

Ideas welcome.

Greytop, thoughton, Weldingblues, and PentaxRocks,

Apologies unsure as to what occurred, but will re-post the ones with faulty links here.

Coming up below!

And lo and behold, the ones in the OP now appear to work as well (at least, they do in preview mode)... Ah the mysteries of technology

im a bit of an old mining fan so good to see these images, well only the last is visible to me, but i went to pbase to see the rest, you have some good stuff there. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for looking Steve, glad you found the gallery too. Not sure what happened to the images on the post here though - all done the same way from the same place? : I now cannot see the first ones either...
Will fix, stay tuned.

... from central Victoria (Oz), c.1800s. Taken yesterday en route home. Interesting is that the technology is very similar to the small copper mine smelting plants that can be found in South Australia, Flinders Ranges area. They were Cornish miners there, and used local stone instead of bricks. The similarities nonetheless remain

furnace chimney - similar to some others in the area...
