This inquiry is about your "announcement bar" re. the upcoming site maintenance:
I don't know if the photo posting problem I had yesterday when I submitted my last Range Report is related or not. In looking at my Range Report target photo again this morning, I noticed it is distorted, somewhat elongated and a little blurry. I had also attached, via my computer, another cool edited photo of my Ruger revolver.The site is due for maintenance. It will be down when I do it. It shouldn't be for long. I'll announce before I do it.
I did this simple edit: Made a small clockwise rotation of maybe 5-6 degrees, and resized to only view the top 1/3 of the revolver. Mainly the barrel with name/caliber displayed. That turned out quite well, so I saved the new photo. When I attached it and previewed the post, the edited picture looked fine. When I posted it to the Forum, it was terribly distorted. Stretched taller, and looked exactly like one of those carnival mirrors that changes a person's reflection when they walk/move in front of it. I had no idea how to fix it, so I removed it from the post.
So might this be one of the "due for maintenance" issues that need to be addressed? Additionally, when I go to compose a new PM or a new thread, rather than the page coming up with the blank format for that function, other previous info is already included in the screen. I have to delete it in order to create a new post. Don't know if other Folk have this type of problem?
Of course, I understand that in cyberspace, the glitches could be from my computer. Just don't know, as this photo post was beyond my capabilities to fix. I'm looking forward to the needed maintenance you have planned. It will be good to learn what improvements/fixes you will do. Thanks.
PT7
P.S Just had a thought. I'm going to attached that edited photo to this post, and see what happens. Here it is: Shazam! The same thing happened again. The "preview" was fine; the actual post not so fine.
What an ugly revolver!
