Hi Biggles,
Wow, progress at last, welcome to the website!!
Just a question...?
What is a Line-Down?
Is it a special move for the movers and groovers of Hornsea!
Great to have you on board, you don't need to be an expert to use the site, it is very easy, and now Andy has mentored you, you are in good safe hands.
Any problems just ask Andy.
Cheers,
Bigkev

You hero you -- well done for getting Neil on line. This is the best way to keep in touch with all members

Post by: Biggles on April 01, 2020, 11:10:18 AM: Hi chaps,
Yes, it was Dave who talked me through how to use the website, (and he didn't shout at me once!), and it was Andy that sorted my new password and got my member profile all sorted out.

Thanks to you BOTH gentlemen.

I'm just off on a rummage around the website now, so may be some time!

Help!?!?
Title: Re: Biggles has had a mentor session
Post by: MSea on April 03, 2020, 08:26:26 PM: Hi Red you need to have "shrink pics" or some other form of making the photo a smaller size. If / when you have it will pass all the rest of the info to you either on line or I will ring you.

Hi Red Lancer.

You load the pictures on and the resize them.

I've found my camera, and charged it up, ready to tale some photos.

But first I'm just going to try a load a photo of a Bf 109F that I have to hand on some older downloads to see if that works.

Tally Ho!

Hi Biggles,
Something not quite right at moment.
Think its how you have filed your pictures.
I cannot open them.
Andy or Bill might be able to point you in right direction, their a bit more 'Techie', than me.
But, you are getting ever nearer to showing off your stuff.
So, have a coconut.

Sorry about the delayed responses to various postings yesterday.
Chris: Yes this cyberspace lark is all new to me...
BigKev: Yes, I will send Dave some test shots and ask him if he can help me post them...
