Since the forum was hacked last week, we have been on a newer, more secure version. I am not sure the image uploads will work at all any more.

[pennyhound]

It didn't @ 1st try, then I copied and pasted the 1st picture it worked so I was going to do the same with the second one ... but wouldn't work, then I noticed my Norton Anti-Virus was off so I re-booted ... and tried again. Hummmmmm

Thought I would ask and see whats what.

Very strange indeed.

Just befor that ... I posted two pic/s to a thread about the 1980 die two ...

I have had no problems loading pics to the forum. I think the problem with the first attempt was that there was no 'www' after the http://. Just a guess, but there doesn't seem to be any problems with the forum.

[pennyhound]

Bob,

Seems to be erratic, at times it works at other times it will not work, I've found if having problems, try again at a different time, can't say what is the cause.

Some times no problems at all, then other times ... just will not post the picture/s ...

Cheers

I can't say what the problem is. I have loaded pics on many occasions, and have not had any problems at all. That is strange indeed. If a picture needs to be posted, you can send it to me, and I will load it to your post. I am going to attempt another image post here to see if it is still working.

[pennyhound]

Can't say what it is either ... seem/s to be most prevalent, when I have two or more IE pages open at the same time, and late or early morn ( 1 - 5 AM, US CDT) ... maybe it's my ISP again ... thy been getting some funny business going on here of late. (also have "OUTLOOK EXPRESS" open to check spelling)

Like I say ... it only happens when I notice a dramatic slowdown in loading speeds, I know then that I'll just have to leave and come back another time to post messages / pictures. At which time, I have no problems at all. (That's why I suspect something else is going on. >>> ISP problem/s)

I only posted to see if other/s maybe having the same type of problem from time to time so I can narrow it down, and give ya a heads up ... it's probly on my end, if and when I get it sorted ... will post back here.

Cheers

Tried to get on last night (Friday; 9:00PM US CDT) and couldn't even get the page to load (Homepage, "65.98.41.194") after 3 minutes of waiting, then thied the forums page. Same thing, after 3 more minutes, tried the "Attributation Page" ... worked just fine ??? Then went back to these two pages and same as above ???

@ the bottom of the IE page it would read:

"Web site found. Waiting for reply ... " then nothing, not even a page will not display ??? (page was acting like it wanted to load, but nothing happens)

@ this same time; would try different (other pages) and no problems ... is anyone else having a problem like this ???

@ the time of this posting ... no problems again. Really, strange!

Bob: The "D" looks like the wings on the Mercury Dime?

[Bob P]

Coop...that coin is what is known as the 'flying D'. That one is the best one of the bunch I have. I have collected all the various die states of that coin, to show progression of the die break. It is this one stage where it looks so much like a wing. After that, it begins to get a more 'blob' like appearance. It is pretty cool though...and it's an RPM to boot. Pretty nice marker for that die state...don't ya think?

[Robert]

If the wing was a bit higher on the "D", it could be called the Old Delta Logo variety.
