I find being on a very low budget makes me think about how much technology I need. I used to have a PC which was quite powerful for the price. I could play games and create stuff and it was lovely. And then my now-ex picked it up and tried to throw it at me (don't ask..) So when I moved out shortly afterwards, my mom bought me a fairly cheap laptop which works well. But then a year later, the screen began to go. I was upset about it as I couldn't afford a new one. But then I remembered an old TV that my dad gave me when I moved into the flat I'm still in. It was the bedroom attached to a cheap second-hand DVD player from a local shop. And the TV had a HDMI socket on the back! So I searched through my box of cables and found the right one and attached the TV to the laptop and bingo!

New topic. You need a job doing which you can't do, or can't be arsed to do, yourself. You get three estimates, all different; which do you go for? I tend to choose the middle one, on the basis that the dearer one takes me for a mug and will probably try to rip me off, and the cheapest is a cowboy. What's your approach?
Ask to see their references and look at previous work they’ve done. Don’t be frightened to ask before hand exactly how they will be doing the job, then watch them doing it, speak up if you think it’s not quite right, never pay any money up front.

👹👹🤬🤬👹👹🤬🤬😡 thats it! I’m giving up, one too many large photos has tipped me over the edge.
If you're referring to the one on the poetry thread, I don't blame you. I've got fast speed and unlimited downloads and it still froze my computer! That rarely happens. This forum needs some kind of limit to photo sizes. If my internet isn't coping, gods alone know how anyone on a ropey connection copes.

There is a limit on photo size, but the site can't be blamed for the shortcomings of every device used to access it, nor the internet strength available to those trying to access it.

I know. But this is the only forum where I ever have a problem downloading due to photo size. And I use a lot of different forums. And if there is a limit on photo size, it's not working and it needs lowering.
As I said in my post, I have a very good internet connection as I'm on fibre and live near the connection box. So it's not my internet that is the problem.

The problem does seem to be ongoing. I've adjusted the settings on my camera to help, but I'm sure if there was some " easy fix " it'd have adopted by now. I think, on balance , this Forum is very good, given that it's free to use.

Oh I agree! It's a very good forum. It's just not the best platform, unfortunately. I run a forum on Proboards and they have an extension that means you can post images without them taking up space on the forum's server. So we don't have this problem with photos.
