These are the picture instructions to make the two strand diamond knot. (Also known as the knife lanyard knot.)

(…the little knots are single sailor’s knife lanyard knots
…the center knot is an extended footrope knot.)

Thank you Willeke,

It is Patrick who ask me to do it like a challenge during the metting in Saint Malo.

Good night, Luc

I love the double knot, it looks so neat and crisp.
Oneday soon I will just have to be able to do that, but with sewing thread.
Thank you for showing the picture it sure helps to show what knots are all about.

He guys,
How did you add your pictures to the posts above?
I can not find out how you did it.
You can see how I did mine by hitting the quote button on the post.

I like the knots, I would nearly forget saying that.

Willeke

Hi Willeke,
All you do is this; type [ i m g ] then in this space put the http:// url address for the picture, then type [ / i m g ] after the address. please note! do not leave any spaces inbetween the characters as I have, i did this so you could see what to type.
I hope this helps,
Willeke, if you look at my profile yopu will see how I have done this at the bottom of the page in the signature section.

I hope this helps you,
Take care,
Barry :wink:

Barry,
I know how to post a picture, if you have a look at my post above you can see that I have done it as you just told. But cbrew6 and asemery have a picture in their signature but it does not show up when looking at their profile.
And it looks like a link to an other website. That is why I asked how they had done it.
When you look at your profile it shows the picture, theirs does not.

Willeke

Sorry Willeke, I must have misunderstood.
the pictures in my signature are linked to another website, maybe they have done theirs a different way?
Take care,
Barry :wink:

willeke, go to the bottom pick additional optons browse your puter for the pic u want then post.

Lets try with a picture, I think I found it.
When you post a message you get the option to attach a file.
In this case I used a photo of a knotboard I made with TH jewels.

Willeke

Ooh I never even noticed that one, I need to open me eyes :o
Thanks for the lesson Bud.
Heres a little ditty of me own.
Take care,
Barry.

That’s the way I did it. Here is my attempt at a mobius band. Tony

Of Note,

Pictures posted this way do not display to casual viewers who have not logged on.

Pictures posted using the img tab display if the viewer is not logged but not these ones, all you get is the file name.

All pictures posted as attachments will now be viewable to unregistered guests.

The ability to post such attachments has been limited to certain member levels (Jnr Members or above) as we only have so much space to store these. If this creates any problems, perhaps we could re-visit the posting of attachments and consider opening it up to Newbie Members.

Please bear in mind that the permutations of the various member groups privileges and boards run into literally hundreds of potential combinations, so it may take some time to get everything just right.

Mel

Mel,

I think your logic on this is a back to front.

84% of posts on this forum come from just 25 members - those with three and four ‘knots’. They are also the most prolific image posters.

By contrast, the rather derogatorily named ‘Newbies’ rarely post and are even less likely to post images.

So if you want to save on limited web space by blocking certain groups you would be best served by blocking those with rankings of three ‘knots’ and above who generally are all well able to use the [img] tag method to present images.

Furthermore, it is those who have not posted much that we should most encourage to join in. This is not achieved by banning them from using facilities designed to make forum use all the easier.

I disagree with your decision to block this service from ‘Newbies’ and suggest that if saving webspace is that important to you, that you consider preparing a short tutorial on how to best prepare images for posting. Tips like choice of background and use of lossy .gif formats offer big reductions in file size which would not only save on the limited webspace, but would also reduce download time for everyone.

Mel, try thinking of it this way - Content is what brings people to this forum, not a big chunk of pristine empty webspace.

Derek

Derek,
Have you checked you PM’s recently?
It is against the kind of spammer that posted that kind of shit that we are trying to protect the forum.
I am afraid that a number of posts will not be the final solution, but we need to start somewhere.
