I am not a techie,infact I am far,far from being one and cobsequently break out in a sweat at the mere thought of using a photocopier but...the ONE thing I can do is pst pics on forums which means I feel really proud of myself to be able to asist you in this matter. In return could you please just humour me as I take a rare oppurunity to show of my extremely limited techie skills ;D First of all click on the following link... www.imageshack.us/There you will find the word"browse",click on it and it will bring you to the pics you have stored on your pc. Select a pic and once you do you will notice the empty space next to the word"browse"has become filled. Then find the words"host it"and click on them. Then your pic will appear with a selection of filled in oblong spaces entitled"thumbnail for forums" "hotlink for forums"etc. You now need to go in the"thumbnail for forums"box with your cursor and highlight(drag cursor along everything in that oblong box while left clicking and release) then go on to simulataneosly press the keys "ctrl"and"c"on your keyboard. Now go to the forum,find a thread you want to add your pic to and do what you would usually do to post a message but in addition,press "ctrl" and"v"simultaneously and this will release/paste the info neded to include the pic in your post. This apears very long and drawn out but after a few practices you will be able to do the lot in around 30 seconds. Hope this helps. Ruthie(shameless show-off,lol ;D ) (I have just reread this post,lol,better make that my my extremely limited spelling skills,lol)

Yes there is thanks for asking. I got up this morning and went to the back door and shouted "TIGGER" and he came bounding over the fence from the garden centre. I'm sure they must be feeding him. Anyway, he seems to have lost all affection and had a bit of food and then started crying and hissing to go out.... See I'd locked the catflap! After about half an hour of him frantically pacing up and down trying to get out the back and front door he went upstairs, presumably to sulk. Shortly after I went upstairs..... nowhere to be seen. He'd only climbed up onto the toilet and jumped out the window onto the flat roof below and done his Houdini act again.... AHHHHH! What a dirty stopout he is. He's like a teenage kid. After reading that birdflu article am going to be keeping him in, as unfortunately he is a bit of a hunter. Luckily the other 3 are being loyal and snuggled up indoors with me!

I am ;D overjoyed ;D that he arived home safe and sound. All the cats in our care are housecats. There is a school of thought that says not giving cats access to the outdoors is cruel but equally there is another school of thought that says it is even more cruel to give them access to the outdoors. It's the personal choice of the cat guardian and I can't say fairer than that. This link is very informative... www.peta.org/Living/at-fall2000/cats.htmlAs long as he has a ton of toys to play with(ethically sourced feathers are good) and room to burn off his energy/exercise he will eventully adapt to being a house cat and will be happy.

OK, not a brilliant techie expert Squirrel, but is your avatar a website link or from your own PC?

Does that help?

wombles like squirrels they keep the common clear of nuts keep britian tidy womble ;D ;D ;D OK, for those of you that want to upload piccies of your own, I've found "PHOTOBUCKET" is pretty easy to use, as that's how I managed to get Gizmo to have her own avatar. Step 1: Create an account with Photobucket..... free and only takes a couple of mins, then log in. Step 2: On image, click browse, this will take you through to your "My pictures" section on your PC, chose a pic, then press submit. It will then take you to a page with your chosen pic(s) with below some codes in boxes for URLS, TAG OR IMG. FOR AVATARS ONLY: Copy and paste the URL link in your "Modify Profile" screen where it asks for the "avatar url" and click "Modify Profile" when done. This should do automatically do it for you. If you find your pic is a bit squashed after resizing it, in your "Modify Profile" screen you can specify and juggle around the height and width. Automatic setting is 65 x 65, but that would be trial and error on your part! I put Tigger up to 100 x 100. OK, Easy enough?! ;D Nooooo, says everyone shaking their heads. FOR PICTURES ONLY: Follow steps 1 and 2 then on the screen below the pic where underneath it says URL, TAG AND IMG, click the IMG and copy the link, then paste it on the message you are typing on the forum. It will look like a load of words when typing, but when submitted, the picture will show. Any probs with this, let me know, and I'll try to help you out, so there's no excuses now for not putting piccies up now ;D
