    Hmm... doing stuff on Android is a pain as it's all "dumbed down". I thought you'd be on a desktop. The best advice I can give (as I don't use a tablet) is always save as JPEG (lossy and compressed format) if you can. I notice on the joke thread a lot of pics are posted as PNG (which is a lossless format and much bigger file size) but even those get uploaded o_O

    Sorry! Anyone else using an Android tablet?

    Thanks, I've got other devices but tablets so much easier so they get little use these days. This is the only site out of quite a few I visit where uploading pics is a hassle, and forget mp4's !

    Without having a look at your tablet it's hard to guess what's going wrong there. It does seem odd why it's just this site. But then Victor's been having issues as well!

    Who remembers when we had black and white TV - looking through the wrappers to pretend you had colour!

    Yes and I'm afraid to say I remember you could buy a plastic screen which fitted over the screen to give the appearance of colour TV , really realistic , not .

    I was born into black and white but don't really remember it but that's just my awful memory! I have a vague recollection of getting our first colour tv - rediffusion I think. It certainly came out of the wall.

    Piped tele was the best , you used to change channels via a box screwed to the window sill. We used to walk up the hill from Heol Las park counting how many front rooms had colour teles in and thinking , posh buggers .

    We always had colour but I do remember the heavy 50p’s we had to feed it with.

    Robin Hood -starring Richard Green (the only colour on the tele)
    Lone Ranger the horse was silver so we were OK
    and the best ever - when the streets used to empty - kids without TV going with their friends who did - around 5 o'clock on a Sunday to see the Dickens novels series Oliver Twist was my favourite

    As Ted Lower said "for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green." <laugh>
