I'm obviously missing something, but I just click on the "Attach files" tab and up she goes?

It’s easier on a laptop. First you need to upload the photo to one of the photo sites, I use Flickr.com then download a medium sized version of the photo. When you clicked manage attachment a new window opens. Then you have to select the file(photo) then scroll all the way over to the right and click ‘upload’ .

Sorry it’s hard to do and even harder to explain it as one wrong step and you’re basically fookd. What did you get when you clicked‘manage attachment’? Are you on phone or laptop?

I’m on phone atm so going to try putting a photo with this. Ok I was able to attach a picture of a new glass in the door of the Fiat sideways directly from the phone but I can’t copy and paste the link so that the photo is in the post here. I even switched from boards touch to ‘full site’ and I still can’t do it.

All done on the touch site and on an old Samsung phone in under ten seconds.

Better the right way round.

8 seconds.

Good man say my name, easy know you're the right side of 50 or perhaps even 40!

I'm using an iphone. Would you mind talking us through the steps as I'm getting stuck pasting the image after I click on the photo icon. I do delete the https that automatically appears in the box. Perhaps Samsung software is easier to use than apple?

I've given up trying to post pics directly from the iphone as they are always sideways, upside down etc. I now email them to myself, download them onto the laptop and then post them cause it's the only way that I know how too.

For your picture I left my finger sit on the image.
Then four options came up.
Open image in new tab.
Download image.
Search Google for this image.
Share this image.

This is done through Chrome.
I clicked on Download image.

Then I went onto the picture sharing site postimages.org and clicked on Choose images.
That allowed to me pick your image that was saved on my phone. I clicked on that and it uploaded it onto the site where there's a sharing option with all urls. I clicked on the one direct link.
And it comes up copied on my phone.
Then just go into the message on boards which would be an open tab and press your finger in the message and a blue dot comes up and you press that and the link is pasted into the message.
Then just wrap tags around that link to make the picture show up in that message and not just a url link for that picture. With good internet speed just a few seconds with your finger dabbing along. There's no url tags appearing when I paste it but if I don't put in those img tags and post that message and edit that message or reply to it after. They'll show up there.

Can you see where the leak is?

Or are you noticing coolant level in radiator dropping?

We used Abro Metallic Super Seal. Used it about 4 years ago and no leaks since.

K-Seal is very good and does not clog the cores if used according to the guidelines.

a rooter like myself would try a self tapper until I have time to remove it and do it right.

Any time I am buying something online (besides using paypal), send a small amount and wait until they confirm they have received it, then send balance.

It doesn't make sense, every Irish dealer now usually has their bank details on any invoice produced, so how the man in question didn't get a invoice for goods purchased with bank details from machinery crowd that he checked thoroughly usually bank details are listed on alot of companies websites is baffling, also you'd imagine with the amount of money involved in all likelihood which was borrowed the financial institution should of taken care of the transition and ensured its legitamancy

You see the scammers have access to your email account.

So say Tom was buying something from John, Tom then gets an email from John's email address saying bank details have changed.

Saw this happen myself with an Irish business, only that the person who was paying the invoice phoned to say the got an email saying account details have changed and was just double checking. Would never have been noticed because email was deleted from sent folder. Scammers studied emails and learned that payments were being made 1st of every month, and sent an email on 29/30th saying details have changed. Figure involved would have been close to 6 figures.

Donald Trump · 21-02-2021 01:36PM

There is a thing called invoice redirection fraud.

Trinity College got stung for a lot in one scam I think a few years back.

The most basic way that it works is that, you do business with some company regularly enough. You get a fake email purporting to be from that business saying "we've changed out Bank account details to 1234567890". You don't question that and update your system. Then next money, you pay as normal. A few weeks later you get a reminder for non-payment. By that stage, the fake account has been long emptied and the money is gone.

That article seems to claim a different version which is that the sellers email was hacked. So one would imagine that that would put the onus on them. If the email was sent from their email account.

It could of course also just have been spoofed.

Are you any better off paying through an intermediary such as PayPal? As long as you get your money to them then it is up to them to pass it on correctly.

Yes, you will have more protection. But buying by credit card also gives you protection too.

One thing that you should never do though is to send money through paypal via "friends and family" transfer. That has no protection. It is basically like handing over cash.

Paypal take a few percent of a transferred amount, but it is much less for "friends and family" transfer. So some sellers might ask you to do that so that Paypal take a smaller cut.

I was once buying something relatively small online. Seller wanted me to do that but instead I agreed to pay a bit more to cover the charge. I mean if it was 100 quid, I transferred 103 so that they ended up with 100 but I still had the Paypal protection.

bamayang · 21-02-2021 04:38PM

We get a lot of those spam mails in work saying our payment details have changed.
Company policy is it must be confirmed over the phone before the account can be changed on payment system.

You’d be surprised the amount of times people genuinely do change their account though. I have to sign off on it and I’m always suspicious until confirmed over phone call.

Some lads will insist on the friends and family method . Because of the following
They sell something . It gets collected. Then the buyer claims he never got the item . Complains to paypal. Since there is no record of delivery. Paypal refunds the payment

How hard is it to arrange a demo of a machine (tedder) in summertime? Dealt with both dealers before, there is no machines being used in the locality that could be looked at. Wouldn't be buying one without a demo first.

24-02-2021 11:02AM

Where would be best place to source a second hand loader,plus brackets,valves etc etc

Anyone specialising in likes of this?

I would think unless there’s potentially a lot of customers in your area or it’s a very new design it ain’t easy.

Surely unless it’s a massive machine (8/10 rotor) there’s one fairly local. As in within half an hours drive. There has to be some dealers nearby who have sold one or is it the particular brand you are looking for?

The loader is the easy part to get. It’s the brackets are the trouble. Afaik they’re very hard to get. Especially recently
Edit: In hindsight my post was less than helpfulðŸ˜‚
