Just thought I'd mention it.

I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

I've just tested it and it worked ok - what problems did you have?

When I clicked on "post", it took ages, and then either went to "Post new topic" or came up with an error message. I'll try again - might have been my laptop mucking about.

Problem solved - it was the type of photo - direct from my camera - that it couldn't handle, so I took a screenshot of it, and posted it in "Nature notes II".

Pretty sure that when we enabled it, we limited it to certain fairly popular formats. We don't want people posting raw camera images because

a) a lot of people won't be able to see them

b) they are rather large.

I think Gordon gave extensive details on how to deal with large attachments in his update to the 'for attachments' topic, "About this board".
