Does anyone know what this thing is??

[microbe.72]

Found this burried 6 inches deep- in a wooded area next to a beach. It's 4 1/4 inches long and 1 1/2 wide. There is rust on the front and back of this- but the middle part has no rust. There is a hole on one side of it. Have no idea what it is.View attachment what5.bmpView attachment what 6.bmpView attachment what4.bmp

Possibly a latch for a trunk or for a door?

Just wish I could see the Damn pictures, Did not have this problem on the old site, glad this is better

No images? Just blue "Not" symbols.

 

[Minrelica]

I see the photos just fine. Not big, but fine.

I'm using FireFox... maybe there's a problem with other browsers that needs to be brought up...

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

Well, if a browser as universally popular as Internet Explorer 9 doesn't do it, and with crap like the SPAM above, I think we have taken a big step in a pile of poo.

 

[Minrelica]

Pics not showing up in IE for me either.

 

[Daedalus]

Working in firefox ! And working in Google Chrome .
But we are getting spammed big time now . That is not good !

 

[Rancho Leo]

Mod deleted first 2 spams but not the last..

When you ban someone in vBulletin you have the choice to "delete all users posts as SPAM"

Lots of Spam the other day; no images here either. Second page already?

A suggestion: the little sayings on the bottom of each reply should be much smaller print or at least a noticeably different font or color. Its practically the same size as the replys and it just doesnt look right.

Click on "stettings"
then "general settings"
scroll down and you can change the number of posts that appear on each page.
We are all set-up for forum default.. I just changed mine and these are all on 1 page now

p.s. you can also change the font/color of your signature so it's different from the replies if you wish

Just thought I'd help since I've used vBulletin forums for the past 7 years

 

[microbe.72]

i will try to put the pics up again- it would not accept high resolution photos, so I took some low resolutions with my phone.

 

[Silver Searcher]

Nope not seeing pictures also these problems need to be sorted, it's becoming a pain

THERE ARE 3 LINKS AT THE END OF THE ORIGINAL POST. I CLICKED ON EACH OF THEM AND DOWNLOADED
3 JPG-PICS.

I DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT THEY ARE.

 

[Got_4by4]

You need to go back into your "paint" program and save them as .jpg.
Why would you save pictures in .bmp format in the first place?

Actually they are bitmap images and I see the just fine too, although I have no idea as to what it is, I have to agree with WIT, it does look like part of a latch or something.

A little suggestion for the others on here... since this is new territory for alot of us (myself included), maybe you should spend a little time "exploring" the site ESPECIALLY your profile, settings etc. and you'll see some of the options available to you. It helped me and only took a few minutes. I didn't like the transition at first but i'm liking it more every day, or maybe i'm just getting used to it. As for the spam, that has to do with your browser privacy settings. I have yet to see one advertisement or spam or anything. I normally run IE8 when I use Firefox, I do see some ads at the top of the page dealing with metal detecting or precious metals etc. but it's NO different than the ones on the old format.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

I can only see one picture on one thread that I responded to. Besides being confusing, I see a ton of errors. I cant post images. My profile is a mess. The spamming has stopped and Im sure the problems will eventually be fixed. Wish you continued success.
