Official SGT ADD thread
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

I haul a box of books off to Goodwill every month or so. It's an addiction, but at least I clean up the mess. ;)WEDFan wrote:I really need to stop buying books instead of borrowing them. :D:
I want to get a Piezoelectric pedometer from Amazon (I'm too fat for the other ones), and take a whack at my Wish List. I've made a rule I won't put a book on the Amazon Wish List if I can find it in our library system, but I'm not going to admit how long that wish list is... Okay, so what am I doing wrong that that image isn't appearing in my post?

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Thanks. I'd edit my original post, but looks like it's too late.

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
Easy peasy. Find an image you'd like to add to a post. Put your cursor on it and right click your mouse. A box will appear with some stuff in it. Select Copy Image Location. That will record where the image is.Main Streeter wrote:hobie, I so wish I understood this.
Go to SGT and either start a thread or do a reply. In the grey bar above the text field click on
Click on From URL. That will bring up
Put your cursor in the white box below URL. Click Paste from the Edit pulldown menu of your browser. That will insert the image address you recorded earlier.
Click on the check mark below the white URL box. The check mark will disappear. Click OK at the bottom of the box.
Click Preview Post to confirm image is there. Note: Some sites do not allow their images to be used. If this happens then all you'll see is a URL address instead of the image.
