Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Loads of small cars, looks very like the Vieux Port in Marseille , but it isn't, not Toulon either.

    Somewhere in France.


    Edit: it's nice to be nice in Nice.

    Someone else can have my go.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,700 ✭✭✭tricky D


    Bingo! Just where the Ronin shoot out scene was filmed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 979 ✭✭✭Keedowah

    Train graveyard in Uyuni, Bolivia


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,635 ✭✭✭donegal.


    you got it.

    how do i strip out usefull info from the pic ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,655 ✭✭✭✭Tokyo


    Best thing to do is download your image to your computer, and upload it to the likes of imgur or similar. If you direct link from a page that provides information on the location, then it's no challenge for those trying to guess. In this case the photo is actually called train graveyard.jpg which is a bit of a giveaway :) Uploading the pic to imgur (a) breaks the connection between the pic and the host website, and (b) renames the file to a random name - wC3q1Obv.jpg for example.

    Additionally, it's better to take a google street view snap if you can, rather than using an image from online. With google image search, it's too easy to drop a photo into it, and get a match to other websites that have used the same photo.

    You could get a screenshot of the location (ctrl+prtSc), crop in MS Paint and then re-upload it.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,655 ✭✭✭✭Tokyo


    Afraid not.

    For adding photos, I:
    - press the print screen key
    - paste into a paint program I have (called GIMP)
    - use the crop tool to make it a good fit
    - use the paintbrush tool to wipe away some info
    - save it as a jpg file
    - upload it to a post on boards using the attachments feature
    - do a preview on the post to get a link to the photo
    - add it as a photo to the post between IMG tags (press the photo button)

    That is Banff, Canada.... you left in a big clue - want to go again?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,266 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    Hm. Where's the big clue? I didn't think there was anything hugely obvious!

    I'll post another one if you tell me where I made a mess of this one. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 979 ✭✭✭Keedowah


    The name of the shop on the right of the picture - first result in google! ..... or was using google a cheat on my part?!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,266 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    Ah. I thought I'd left Banff in or something duh obvious. Yes, using Google was a cheat on your part!

    Let me come back with another so.

    OK, here we go.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,655 ✭✭✭✭Tokyo


    That looks very like Gori, in Georgia.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,266 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    Nope.

    (Well, it might look like it, but it isn't it)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,526 ✭✭✭✭Darkglasses


    Switzerland maybe? Geneva?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,266 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    Getting closer.

    Budva, Montenegro


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,266 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    Neither. Budva is going the wrong way.

    The cranes in the background are a hint in a way - I know when I was in this country, there were some super views, and lots of views with cranes in the way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 537 ✭✭✭clever user name


    Luxembourg?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,266 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    Not mountainous enough.

    (Luxembourg, that is - this country is mostly mountains)


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 5,813 Mod ✭✭✭✭irish_goat


    Looks like Andorra if I'm not mistaken.
