When I was doing my "Blues Comparison" last night, you can add Aurora Blue to the list of having a sediment. Not a lot, but there was some. It would have been hard to capture it with a photo as thick is that bottom glass is.

With the new FPN rules, now I REALLY don't know what to put in my signature.

Wow waht a site!!! I was just looking a my bottle of Lamy Red and noticed sediment in the little well at the bottom of the bottle. I just shook it up and it went away. And then I got to thinking, should I shake or not shake!! Should i just leave the sediment in the bottom or toss the whole thing (absolutely the last option). So I searched for 'shake' and low an behold this thread came up and answered all my questions. Thanks to all involved.

 

Merry Christmas and may you all experience the blessings of our risen Lord!!

Am I the only one not seeing the pics? All I see is the HTML code for them.

In some things in life it's better to take a Zen approach. If you think too much you won't achieve your goal, wheras if you don't think and let yourself go, it shall be achieved with ease. I find this helpful in writing, kendo and music.

I can't see them, either.

 

But my thanks (anyway) to SamCapote for the informative post!

Enough of this chocolaty goodness, we've got work to do.

Right on! I see no pictures, either. But, these were there 6 weeks ago.

The pics are still there, but you have to copy and paste with out all the html tags.

 

Did they hose being able to use the same HTML tags I have been using all along? Now this is bizarre. I just copied the exact HTML code from the first post, into this post to see....and they are there on "Preview Mode" let's see if I click "Post"

 

It now gives me a "Sorry, but you have posted more images than you are allowed to" Perhaps there is a new forum limit of thumbnail images you can post now? Let me try breaking it up into two posts.

The irony is that I go through all the trouble of making a second cropped thumbnail image, uploading both, and then manually writing out all this HTML code to reduce website load while still allowing you to click on thumbnail, and have full size open in a new browser tab/window.

 

If I do it this way, when you click to see full size, you have to keep backing up your browser page to get back before looking at the next image:

Edit: Well, they changed it, so now I can just post image link to my small thumbnail, then while still composing post, click to highlight the thumbnail image, and then the "Insert Link" icon, and add the name of the full sized image in the Linked To "URL" box, and it will now open it in new window/tab. Makes my life easier. Still not sure on how many images you can have in a post now--but in post #31, I have twenty.

Your first post in this thread worked fine initially. I don't know why it would suddenly go wonky. I'm not *aware* of image changes that have happened in the last week or so but I'm often unaware of such things just because. :P

You're not the only one ... I can't see them either, it's just code.

There were no changes at all to the board software. However, if you edit and save, the fancy footwork required to show the images as they are supposed to, needs to be copied in again completely. I tend to edit stuff like that outside of the reply editor, and then copy it back in again, prior to do the final posting. This has been the case since version 1 of th eboard software, BTW.

 

BTW 2: no overhead at all for the FPN server itself this way. Just so you know.

 

Warm regards, Wim

Well, something changed because many people saw the images when they were first posted, then at some point they just stopped being displayed. There's no "edited by" tag on the post, either.

 

edited to add: And now (strangeness continuing) I see just a blank screen at the bottom of the OP, neither the images nor the code that I saw yesterday.

Well, I tried to edit it, but there is something weird in that message, which I can't put my finger on. I just edited it, found a missing angled bracket, but there also are too many pictures (30 is the limit), so I put #31 and #32 in code tags.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
