*Cracking my knuckles* OK, no problems. BTW, I don't add " " around the URL--just and it works.

Moon pl. explain to newbies that capturing images will only work with Netscape..not Explorer. At least for me. Anything I do on Drool has to be via Netscape only.Anybody have luck with Explorer?

~Moon Thu, Sep 9, 1999 (15:45) #119

Love it Renate! Such anticipation! Moon pl. explain to newbies that capturing images will only work with Netscape..not Explorer. Evelyn, I'm not that geeky! I'm just a beginner. Karen or Heide can probably explain it.

~KarenR Thu, Sep 9, 1999 (18:53) #120

If you post with Explorer (which many people can't do), then you should be able to post images with said browser. I just find that Netscape doesn't have any issues with Yapp. Hey, Renate, why are you practicing? You know how to do this? ;-D And, claaaaasssss, please try to keep the "kilobyte" size of your images to 40-50K or under. With all the images that will be posted, we will be in ILH (Image Loading Hell) tomorrow.

~Moon Thu, Sep 9, 1999 (19:07) #121

So, that means start early? (heehee)

~KarenR Thu, Sep 9, 1999 (19:13) #122

Yes, I've just dropped off a present. More later.

Happy 39th Birthday Colin! I have come in mongolfiere from my castle in Umbria to attend your party. Richard Branson was quite put out when I left him and the rest of my guests. He was in the middle of explaining how it all started thanks to Mike Oldfield�s Tuberlar Bells, Virgin Records that is, and since I had heard the story before, I took my leave. But it could not be helped, I simply had to come to your festa. Ciao, ciao! As promised, I have brought lots of vini italiani for the celebration. Cheers! Colin, there�s nothing better that I could wish for you than to have a very musical birthday, so, please accept as gifts two of my favourites. I trust you own an amplifier. The classic Fender Stratocaster. And, the classic Gibson Les Paul. Tanti Auguri! Saluti anche a Livia.

Hey my guitars are not showing up! I don't know what's wrong. :-(

~KarenR Thu, Sep 9, 1999 (20:05) #126

Because there's that extra .jpg on the url. It ended with .gif.jpg Which is very wrong. It's one or the other. If you are right-clicking on the image, you will copy its address and there won't be any need to add anything except the stuff.

~KarenR Thu, Sep 9, 1999 (20:07) #127

Shoot, it thought my explanation was an image. Anyway, Moon, DON'T ADD the .jpg to the url. The image is a .gif, which is acceptable too.

~Moon Thu, Sep 9, 1999 (20:47) #128

I did not add it, that is the weird thing! Ahh! I want my guitars!

~KarenR Thu, Sep 9, 1999 (21:27) #129

Then just double check when you paste your urls to make sure the ending has only one extension. If there are 2, then delete the second one. OK?

~patas Fri, Sep 10, 1999 (14:39) #144

True, Karen... I've been hunting all over the Web since I started work on the DH's webpage - I don't think it will remain long as it is and where it is ;-)

~patas Fri, Sep 10, 1999 (15:13) #145

Karen, I've copied and pasted the urls, and they showed on my browser - do you think it's something like the Xoom problem? By all means delete the posts if the images don't show up.

~KarenR Fri, Sep 10, 1999 (15:23) #146

Try it again here. When you posted it, it showed up? It kept calling on the server and finally gave up. I did delete the three. It wouldn't be like a Xoom thing.

When I click on the picture, I got the webpage--not the image url. Right click on the pic of London and select the one to "copy image location" and then paste here, surrounded by the appropriate stuff.

~SBRobinson Tue, Sep 14, 1999 (15:39) #151

Funny, I never saw this version of the Telegraph photo (You know, the one just after he got bopped by the speakers and just before Donmar)... I think I like it better than the other one. :-)

~Elena Sat, Sep 18, 1999 (16:40) #157

Thanks, Karen, lovely photo. He looks more like the Real Colin in it than in most pics I�ve seen. Funny really, in photos he very seldom looks like he really does!

~LauraMM Sat, Sep 18, 1999 (18:48) #158

That is probably the best picture of him I've seen in a long time. Very non-chalant.

~KJArt Sat, Sep 18, 1999 (22:54) #159

The other one posted was much bigger, so looked impressive, but I suppose because it uses the same three-quarter angle and expression as so many of the other ones of him, I didn't like it as well ...But maybe it's just me ... (An unfair comparison, size-wise): http://www.iinet.net.au/~bunyip/DailyTelegraph.html

~MarciaH Sat, Sep 18, 1999 (23:27) #160

Oooh, lovely, Karen! Thanks! He is cute even with dings...does he need us to kiss them to make them feel better?!

~KJArt Sun, Sep 19, 1999 (17:10) #161

If not in body, then in spirit ... pass on those good vibes!!

~heide Sun, Sep 19, 1999 (18:32) #162

~heide Sun, Sep 19, 1999 (18:39) #163

That's a fantastic picture, Karen. Tell the other girls where it is. Ifi any of them are like me, they don't come here too often.

~Arami Mon, Sep 20, 1999 (19:34) #164

in photos he very seldom looks like he really does! That's because of his job... he usually wears make-up, mascara, hair colour, etc for it. :-) Truly private shots are rare.

~MarciaH Mon, Sep 20, 1999 (19:41) #165

Like Olivier, who never just went with his own nose. The first part of getting into a new character was to change the nose - for him. Perhaps ODB uses some magic of his own devising which we may never know...

~Elena Tue, Sep 21, 1999 (01:52) #166

(Arami)That's because of his job... Arami,I was talking about the off stage shots, obviously. True, even in them he often has his hair dyed because of a recent role or another but I don�t think he�s vain enough to put on mascara when photographed in the Colin Firth role! Btw he seemed to have a ton of make-up on his face as Darcy and I remember an interview right after Darcy where he was being a "real queen" about his yebrows.:-D

~nky Tue, Sep 21, 1999 (12:43) #167

Hi all! Thanks for the picture, CF looks good to me no matter how much or how little make up he has. His eyes says it all, yyyyuuummm!

~Arami Tue, Sep 21, 1999 (12:49) #168

I don�t think he�s vain enough to put on mascara when photographed in the Colin Firth role! No, not for incidental snaps, of course: but he, as many other actors, often poses at specially pre-arranged publicity and fashion shoots, and that's obviously where he gets to be "a real queen".

~KJArt Wed, Sep 22, 1999 (21:47) #169

Hi! I found the BIG version of that other small goodie: http://members.xoom.com/_XOOM/firthfiles/articles/et22599a.jpg

~KJArt Wed, Sep 22, 1999 (22:09) #170

I apologize. ...I didn't try to post the pic, so thought all would be OK like it was for me yesterday. Just now, found out I was wrong. The site I visited yesterday is completely altered and no longer contains the picture. Mea Culpa!

~KarenR Wed, Sep 22, 1999 (22:31) #171

What picture are you looking for, KJ?

~KJArt Wed, Sep 22, 1999 (23:06) #172

It was a larger version of the one I posted at #156. I didn't like it as well, as the color was off a bit blueish, but it was the same size as the second Telegraph photo I gave the URL for. I really feel rotten, because I printed it down and wanted so to share the goodies, but now it's gone... (*SOB*)

~KarenR Wed, Sep 22, 1999 (23:28) #173

Nothing is ever lost. I have the larger version and will upload it tomorrow.

It's almost like being in the same room with him! I just want to say, "Oh lovey-dear, how did you get that widdle scratch on your nosey-wosey?" (Okay, so maybe I wouldn't.)

Assuming you are one of the anointed with a password and dialog box at the bottom, you just type in your message, read it carefully to make sure it says what you want (use those word-processing tricks if it doesn't), and press the "submit" tab on the lower left.

Karen, could you PLEASE PLEASE email me a copy of that picture?

~KarenR Thu, Sep 23, 1999 (22:13) #181

Lynn - you were successful in writing your question to us. So you've mastered the fine art of Drooling. See ya at other topics. ;-D Amy - the boo-boo on the nose was the result of attempting to hang some speakers on the wall as I recall. Our boy is quite the *hand*yman, isn't he?
