DBR Security Fundraiser

[devildeac]

My VCR keeps blinking 12:00 (—:—) 12:00 (—:—) 12:00.

All help appreciated, thanks in advance.

I *think* OPK started the sideways or upside down pictures on DBR. I always attributed that to smoke inhalation from his BGE and/or an extra dram of some 18 year old Scotch.

[PSurprise]

I don't think DBR has ever followed pic metadata that tells the orientation. What does the pic do when opened in other software? Can you rotate it and save it, then upload it?

Yeah, I tried that. It keeps rotating it 90 degrees of the original photo, no matter what orientation I save it as. Very strange. It is a mobile photo, so that might be an/the issue.

[Indoor66]

Heck, I'm too dumb to know any difference.

It looks like the boards are now updated and secure. If anyone has any trouble, please let us know.

Thanks again to everyone who's helped us out with it!

Thank you. No more insecure login notification.

I definitely appreciate how the collective of mods and admins take care of the DBR community.

Again, thank you!

Is your VCR Beta or VHS. I can maybe help you if it’s a Beta. I have never messed with those new-fangled VHS models.

Yeah . . . Let’s go with those excuses — er, explanations.

VHS, baby. I’m high cotton.


(I don’t understand all of this discussion, but glad DBR is here for us and happy to support efforts to keep this user-driven format alive. Y’all rock. And appreciate y’all putting up with my foolishness).

No more insecure login notification.

I see what you wrote, but I think of this: "Sorry, but you will not be allowed to login to our network because you seem to lack confidence and we sense your anxiety."

Don’t do it while lying on your couch!

I turn it off and on again. If that doesn’t help, I’ve got nothing.

I can help with this.
All you need is some black electrical tape and scissors.

Method 1: You'll need a strip, maybe two, of electrical tape. Place the strips over the blinking time. Problem solved.

If this doesn't meet your needs, try Method 2.

Method 2:
1. Unplug the unit from the TV and the wall.
2. Remove the unit and place in your car.
3. Drive to the electronics recycling center and leave the unit there.
4. Call your adult children, grandchildren, or other technology-savvy person and have them help you select technology from this century. No blinking times on these newfangled little boxes (and much easier to carry, to boot!).

Hope this helps!

[ETA: Looks like 94duke beat me to it!]

When I try to upload a jpg, the image keeps rotating 90 degrees. I've tried rotating the image and then saving it, but it still comes up sideways. :\

You’ll have to edit the EXIF metadata in the jpg itself (or use a tool to do it for you).

Not sure if it has been reported, but Chrome is blocking a few scripts when I access the forum. The scripts are either hosted on non-secure sites or have mixed content warnings. Here are the ones that are blocked when I view this thread.

What are you using to rotate it?

For all my image needs for many years, I have used Irfanview, which is unsurprisingly offered by a guy named Irfan.
It's simple, fast, clean, and free.
Whenever I rotate an image with Irfanview, it seems to work when I upload it.

Plus for every $10 you donate, DBR will send you a cinder block autographed by a mod.

Collect them all!



(I guess I have to say that I'm joking before we get an Uncle Milty moment. So, um, don't sit by the mailbox waiting for your cinder block. Plus, Jason Evans' autograph cost at least $25).

I send funds on August 7th but haven't gotten my cinder block yet. Who should I contact?

Ummm . . . They’re probably held up in customs. Damn tariffs and all.

Call Tre. I heard he has all the stones.
