Today I Learned

I'd like to check if we can copy paste a picture without upload it in a post.

And copy paste the formula.
And formula
$a = b + c$
And font
And color
$\text{and font with formula } a = b + c$
And font and color and styles
$a = b + c \text{ } \text{styles and color in formula}$

This won't work even without copy paste
##\text{Different styles } \text {and color won't work}##

Drag and drop is about as complicated as I get.

The only picture I can copy and paste is a screen grab using the Snipping Tool...

I'd like to post three postings at once. So the trick is, I "create" a thread, then I write the posts and calculation there. Then when it's done, I just copy paste to the thread that I want to answer. And I want the graphs will be there, too.
Because this three post are related each other. I'll give you the link.

But edding three post at once with graphs will remove the graph. Oh, my. Luckily PF Forum has edit feature.
Okay..., today I learned that if I want to write three posts at once, I have to be careful with the graphs.

 

[Stephanus]

Yes, @OCR , but it's not the screen that I want to capture. See my links. They are all 2 minutes separated. The only way to do that is to write all of them one by one ant post them at once.
But once I post, I didn't see my graphs.
I have to upload them again. Perhaps the server just save the graph for each user, not for each browser window opened.

TIL, https://docushare.icecube.wisc.edu/dsweb/Get/Document-58012/dumm_thesis.pdf

The "point-like" in that title has nothing to do with neutrino sizes, it means they all come from the same place in the sky (within the angular resolution).

IceCube is at the South Pole, so naturally things from the South look different from things from the North.

I rarely use $\pi$ without a factor 2, so $\tau$ would be more convenient.

You can always write a single post and put everything in that.

[ATTACH=full]103326[/ATTACH]

You can, almost. Instead of the ATTACH tags, turn the attachment number into a valid IMG image link to the original image, e.g., the above becomes [ATTACH=full]189275[/ATTACH]

N.B., you do need to obtain (or guess) the correct filename suffix: jpg/png/gif, etc.

Right click on the image -> show image details (or similar, browser-dependent), gives you the exact path.

Today I'm going to learn whether I can post 3 posts with graphs simultaneously.
My first image.

Thank you all for the suggestion. But, when I write the post, I haven't click the "POST REPLY" button, yet. How can my files be in PF server?
My case is like this.
I want to answer to a certain thread in 3 different posts. So I open 3 browser windows, then I wrote them until I finished. Then I click POST REPLY button.
But as @mfb suggestion...

You can always write a single post and put everything in that.

Oh my God. Three different browser windows!. I'm going to try it.
[Add: No, it still didn't work. The other posts only show link to the file]

 

[mfb]

I want to answer to a certain thread in 3 different posts.

Why do you want to do that? Put everything in one post. Much better to follow threads like that.

One browser window and one post is everything you need. If you want to attach images, click the "upload" button, upload the image, include it in the post (there is a button to include it as full image, or use the thumbnail version).

 

[Stephanus]

Why do you want to do that?

These are my posts I just want to post them in 3 different section so it is neat. But next time, perhaps I will do it with the help of the spoiler button. So the OP can click any detail that he wants to read.

Today (at about 2am) I learned that foxes can make some really strange noises when arguing over territory. I also learned (a few hours later...) that it is called "gekkering".

I still don't follow exactly what you are trying to do, but ...

before you click on POST REPLY you have already clicked on UPLOAD to attach the file to your post, so by hovering the mouse over that filename link at the foot of the edit space you can see the attachment number your file has already been allocated. I have used that information to present the pic 3 ways above ⤴⤴⤴ before I click to POST this. I think the ATTACH tags are restricted to the post to which the file is actually attached, and for all other posts you must use IMG tags.

 

[OCR]

Lol... OK, I just copied and pasted your image... I know that isn't what your talking about, but I wanted to see if "Copy Image" worked...

It seemed to...

 

[Stephanus]

Okay, so, here the catch

Okay, I'll do it again.

 

[Stephanus]

This is the second email.

And this is the second email

 

[Stephanus]

This is the third post.

This is the third email.

 

[Stephanus]

Ah, I see.
So the catch is this.
You have to open your browser tabs first before you do the editing or click reply.
Then you click reply. And do the editing there.
But I don't know if it will work when we edit the post more then 30 mins.
This is what I want to do. Posting more than 1 post simultaneously.

Yes but not 3 graphs in a post. 3 posts with graphs in them. And posting them simultaneously.

Okay..., IMG should do the trick. But the file must be in PF server before I type IMG.
Furthermore, click the browser refresh, will somehow delete our draft?
If you write 3 different post in 1 thread, then I think click the browser refresh button will clear your draft also.

And one more thing. How big is PF Forum server? I mean, this.
If we create a thread, and upload some image. So the image will be in the server, right.
Then, before we click [POST], we simply close the browser. Will the image still be there?
That's one thing that I should find out by myself. Anybody want to try that?

 

[NascentOxygen]

Okay...Yes but not 3 graphs in a post. 3 posts with graphs in them.

Is a graph not an image?

 

[NascentOxygen]

This is what I want to do. Posting more than 1 post simultaneously.

I think you mean "in quick succession", because "simultaneously" just can't happen when it's inescapable that each posting requires its individual mouseclick.

 

[Stephanus]

Nope, they are different class

I think you mean "in quick succession", because "simultaneously" just can't happen when it's inescapable that each posting requires its individual mouseclick.

Yep, quick succession. And PF denies quicker succession (less then 10 seconds).

And today I learn something, too...
If you click [CREATE THREAD], upload some image in them. Save the image links to a text file or clipboard. But don't delete them.
And then copy your link:
Then you can close your browser, open it again. Or you can even turn off the computer.

Now, you paste the link in a new thread or new post.
{IMG}https://www.physicsforums.com/attachments/calculus-jpg.103552/?temp_hash=6e11f591c20b6db233c08a96fd612316{/IMG}
The curly braces { is intentional as a replacement of square bracket [, so bulletin don't treat it as BBCode.
The image is still in the server.

I hope this come to admin attention for each graph in the server, admin should know who post them to prevent spamming.

[Add: This is the SOLUTION of my problem. Now I can create more than 1 post and post them in quick succession, without worrying about the image.]

TGraphic.JPG, an image file! As far as forum software is concerned, an image is an image. Your graphs are captured as images, and are displayed as images.

So far today, I have learned several things.

1. How to activate the "On this day" function on Facebook. It's under "Apps", on the left hand side.

2. I needed this, as I had earlier seen, that on this day in 2015, I learned that they did animal testing in my city, back in 1931, but had navigated away from the entry.

ST. JOHNS BRIDGE FIRST TESTED BY ELEPHANTS FOR STRENGTH OF SPAN
June 13, 1931
"dad said when they crossed it their were elephants in town from a circus & he said the elephants went across first to prove the suspension style bridge could do the job as I guess there were some doubts due to that design." ​

3. PETA was founded on March 22, 1980

Not sure if anyone still uses elephants to test new bridges anymore.
(google, google, google)
Still not sure, but it appears Portlanders were not the first to think of this method:

4. The elephants that tested the Brooklyn Bridge, May 17, 1884
ps. It was P.T. Barnum's idea, and his elephants.

Ok, that's enough for today.

We have several smaller violins which the kids used for learning, and four full sized ones, one of which is electric and one of which I have lent to my daughter. I also have a viola, and I sometimes play my wife's second best cello. Apart from those we also have a baby grand piano, a digital piano, a couple of classical guitars, flute, clarinet, some recorders, some ocarinas and odd percussion bits such as triangle and tambourine.

@Jonathan Scott
You seem knowledgeable

does this look like one of those 19th century reproduction labels?

My friend Harry is rebuilding several of his old violins
Good to see him so enthused - at 84 he's short on physical strength so gave up construction and has gone back to the hobby he had fifty years ago .

He's curious about this one.

Sorry, I know very little about the history of violins. You need to ask an expert, not an amateur player!

I see from some Googling that Petrus Schultz is a known maker of good violins but also a known subject of extensive copying, including carefully copied fake labels (looking very similar to the above) and sometimes even with fake certificates of authenticity!

My own main violin is a Wolff Brothers one from 1901 (and isn't as good as it was before being very unfortunately dropped on a concrete floor after a faulty case catch spontaneously sprang open, after which it was professionally and very expensively repaired with a lot of glue and little bits of wood to hold the splits back together). The rest are all modern.

Oh, no, sorry to hear that. But it's been fixed. Good, then.

On this day, two years ago, I learned what "Minions" were called.

Before that, I think I referred to them as "those tylenol pill looking cartoon creatures".

ps. It was @Tom Mattson who informed me of the fact.
