Sorry Jane, I'm not too sure what photo you are referring to. I wasn't aware
that i was sending a Hyperlink.

I always strip my posts entirely before sending to Arachne, I have checked all
settings and my signature only contains text and no URL's.

I can get into flickr for Arachne without being logged in on Google Chrome,
but Microsoft Edge doesn't allow me to get in and i get sent into a redirect
loop.

Oh my  It is some months since I've had a chance to check out our 
Flicker pages  -  what a lot of exquisite lace I'm finding, such 
talented lacemakers.  BTW I had no problem accessing the page by 
clicking on the 'flicker' information at the end of this message.


Cheers,
Shirley T.  -  Adelaide, Australia where we're forecast to reach 39C on 
Friday.  Hooray, summer has arrived at last after all the rain and windy 
weather these last few months.

Happy New Year to all and hope you can find time for lots of lacemaking.

I checked one of Joseph's posts and it's not sending any attachment.  
The link at the end of the post of his that I checked was sent as a bare 
link.  Is it possible that your mailreader is previewing the link for 
you?

Just to clarify, I'm thinking it's the link that's causing it in the same way 
that if you include a hyperlink in a post on Facebook it brings up a preview 
page of the website. I think it is only with Joseph's posts, but I'm intrigued 
as to how it gets through the normal stripping of attachments by the server? It 
also only seems to be when I'm using my laptop, not my phone. Or is it an 
Outlook thing?

Joseph, do you recognise the description of the photo?

I'm not clicking the link, the photo just there, at the bottom of the post 
under the link, both on reflected and digest versions.

Jane Partridge


The 'problem' I have is that the hyperlink to the flickr page brings up an
attached photograph of a young man at a table with several pots of yoghurt on
it - presumably advertising of some sort - and this happens every time the
link is repeated, especially when posts are not trimmed (and I've made that
mistake a couple of times recently, too!!).

Whether I'm logged into yahoo as Arachne or my own Yahoo account myself, the 
hyperlink takes me directly to the lace photos - but I'm in America, like 
Clay.  Can't imagine what else but country can be affecting it - but I'm not 
a computer expert

[lace] Re: Arachne Handbook etc

2017-01-02 Thread Jane Partridge 
Joseph (and anyone else interested)


If you want to check what was written in the handbook (it's a bit dated now,
even though I think I updated some of the info re long gone websites when I
posted it) you should be able to find it in the Archives (search for posts
with my name and handbook). There were two parts to it originally. I think
I've still got the files saved, but having changed computer to laptop and also
changed ISP over the years, might not be able to lay my mouse on it quickly.


It isn't all rules, some of it is the history of things like why we have two
lists when we started with one, what exchanges were going on then (we've done
bookmarks, Christmas ornaments, Christmas cards) and so on, plus a bit of
netiquette for those who don't know. Timely reminders like remember some
lacemakers may have young children reading over their shoulders (mine have
grown up, left home and had their own children in the time I've been on the
list - frightening, isn't it?) so mind your language and censor the jokes
(it's what chat is for!).


Remember not all countries have their celebrations at the same time, so some
will be busy with family life when others have nothing other than the computer
to amuse them - it's also difficult when your children have flown the nest,
especially if you live on your own, to remember when school/college terms
start and finish, and how much time they took up! Those times can be
particularly stressful, and it is often when a joke can be taken the wrong way
- fortunately flaming these days is rare, but there have been times in the run
up to Thanksgiving/Christmas when, like all 'families', we've squabbled
amongst ourselves. On top of that, we've had some laughs over the years (very
politically incorrect these days) because of the difference in UK/Aussie
humour and US humour - and I well remember the discussions over the US
question of what on earth we (UK/Australia) need a lace cake band for - we
said we used royal icing on our Christmas cakes and it was to hide a multitude
of flaws in our icing skills where the sides of the cake were concerned - they
asked 'royal icing, what's that?' - and as for Marmite. I'm sure the
other long-in-the-tooth Arachnes will remember it well! But through it all, in
the days of learning to communicate internationally, we learnt a lot not only
about lace, but how others see things, and gradually worked out how not to
upset people. We've seen new 'faces' join, we've seen others leave the list
or, sadly, leave this world altogether. Their words of wisdom live on in the
Archives - that is somewhere else that Arachne has an edge over Facebook -
finding something that was posted two days ago is easy on Arachne, on Facebook
it can take months!


The main advice is never to worry that you have asked a silly question, or
that it has been asked on several occasions before. You *may* get someone
telling you to go and look it up, but that is off-putting to a beginner, and
it may mean another week of a very quiet list because everyone is racking
their brains for something brand new to say!!!


I'm sure we have discussed pincushions before, but I have never heard of the
wire wool and soap idea. I have been told that using polyester (of the toy
stuffing variety) can blunt/dull the pins, and learnt enough in science at
school, and in practice since, to know that brass tarnishes (as does silver)
when exposed to moisture and air, and that one of the components of brass -
copper - will gain a coating of verdigris, especially when it is in contact
with the acid in pricking card, and this will leave a turquoise/blue stain on
your lace if you leave the pins in for too many years which reminds me,
maybe 2017 is time to get on with the piece of Honiton I started under the
watchful eye of the late Christine Hawken and is still on my pillow!


(The solution to tarnished brass pins is also to be found in the Archives...
don't chuck them away, use a bowl of water with a bit of vinegar and a drop or
two of washing up liquid - soak them for a while and they will come up like
new again.)


The 'problem' I have is that the hyperlink to the flickr page brings up an
attached photograph of a young man at a table with several pots of yoghurt on
it - presumably advertising of some sort - and this happens every time the
link is repeated, especially when posts are not trimmed (and I've made that

I tried to download the "handbook" from Majordomo server, but i got an error
message telling me that there was no such file.

I didn't want to breach any of your rules when posting, so i have been mainly
