Obviously not photographic, but something that many of us photographers might experience from time to time. When it's time to get up, no doubt you'll be in a deep, deep sleep.

My solution when this happens is I get up, make a coffee (yes, with caffeine!)and sit for a while at the PC on the Internet or at Photoshop. That's always relaxing and after an hour or so it's back to bed and to sleep.

You could also try a walk, perhaps an hour of night shooting locally. It'll catch the interest of any passing Police cars as well no doubt!

What Ads do you see John? I'm a bit puzzled by that, as I just have a banner Ad at the top of the page, often for eBay or SRS, and a small strip of ads /info down the right hand side. Nothing interferes with the forum in any way and I'm not using AdBlocker either.

I can only think, if we're seeing the same thing, that we have different levels of sensitivity to their presence.

I think we should get on with our photography as well.

PS I'd recommend you remove your e-mail address from Location. Everybody can see it and it could attract spammers.

What Nigel said. Well put.

Hopefully someone will come along with some possible answers, sorry I can't add any more to it.

There's no correlation between signal strength and speed though. You could have a very strong basic 2G signal that was agonisingly slow.

Are you effectively connecting via a "personal hotspot" from your phone?

Thanks RayB, there's more than one point of view to consider and the 800px limit is perfectly good to view and assess an image.

Sometimes it's a bit odd that people talk of blanket bans, where in fact it's a matter of common sense and context. Just recently, for example, there was a thread on using Pentax Limited lenses on Sony cameras. Was that Pentax relevant? Yes.

If somebody posted a whole series of images with their new Nikon, would that be appropriate? No, I don't think so.

If somebody posted a detailed thread explaining how their life had been changed by moving to an Olympus mirrorless camera, would that be reasonable? No.

There's also a Pentax only rule re images, but if you're selling up and take the picture of your Pentax on your camera phone then that's fine. It's all a matter of context and common sense.

If in doubt, ask. When I was on Olympus User, I asked if it was OK to post some For Sale items, as there was no section for it. Then it was fine. On AP they removed my website link under the rule of "competitive site" but I just shrugged my shoulders, after all I have to be impressed if my website is seen as competition to AP! I think they might have got the wrong end of the stick there, but never mind.

Actually, a correction, it seems we all know the answer very exactly: https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/how-to-post-images-new--36443
