GOOD NEWS again? People talk about the complexity of movie rights, etc. Isn't this an MGM film and part of the Turner library? Did TCM need to repeat it so soon? I'm complaining a little, but also curious to know what other opinions are.

Yeah, I really don't mean my comments to come across as insulting, although I can see where the one you quoted may be seen that way. I really am surprised when people can't do things that I have no trouble with, given my numerous shortcomings. I assumed for a while that people may be using different types of computers (Apple vs PC), or a different operating system, or a different browser, or something that would explain it (I'm using a Windows laptop and Chrome browser, which seems to horrify most techies). I know you're a sharp person, sewhite, based on your past posts, so when I seem surprised that you can't post an avatar, it's based on all of the above.
Posting an avatar should not be difficult. Editing a photo you want to use might not be so easy. The photo I did for spence was originally rectangular and 150 KB. I uploaded the image to an online photo editor and created a square image. It saved at 67 KB.
The closer an image is to square, the better. My "The Keeper" avatar is 130 KB and slips under the maximum. Barely!
My desktop is Windows 10 and Chrome is my favorite browser. Linux and I don't get along. It is too complex for me. I have not used Mac OS in years, but find it superior to Windows!! But there is the cost and I have shallow pockets.

I literally set 'Bunny Lake' up to record on the DVR... then later that day I'd read that she died. I was thinking "crap! I hope I didn't jinx poor Miss Lynley."
Years back, I gifted my sister-in-law a Traveling Wilbury's LP. Yes, vinyl. Well, Roy Orbison died 2 days after my birthday gift. She looked me in the face and said, "Please don't by me any Huey Lewis albums."

The risk applies to people whom has an account, this is part of the reason I'll never join such. Just non subscribers reading won't put one at risk. Even if someone hacked TCM, what's to learn, my personal info is non existent For any viruses / trojans, it will be incompatible with Windows XP . What hacker will waste the time writing such for a long since outdated OP system (which still works great for me)?
I disagree on both counts. I'm no expert. Just my opinion.

I have a desktop PC. Since my Mohs (skin cancer) surgery, I don't use it. I have Amazon's 10 inch tablet. It is what you should expect for the price.
I do not miss MS Windows 10! My dream machine now is an iPad. Can't see well enough for just any screen. I love zoom and predictive text.
I don't like tweets, regardless of how this forum displays them. Not sure why Jake cannot post from the original source.
Sure, the web is never completely safe, but I really feel Twitter is unsafe. Even their CEO was hacked, for a second time.
From The Verge:
"Dorsey’s account has been hacked before. In 2016, the security firm OurMine hacked @Jack to send out a message about “testing your security.” The tweet also had a video and a link to OurMine’s website. (OurMine also hacked other CEOs, such as Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Google’s Sundar Pichai.)"

Spence, TCMModerator1 is offering to post an avatar for you. Not sure if you noticed that. Just say the word and you have a new avatar. Scroll back up this page to TCMModerator1's post.

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with classic film. Aren't their sites that devote themselves exclusively to classic TV series?
I am put off by the Twitter stuff!!!
Guess it either isn't being reported, or the moderators don't see the need to do anything.
This is a forum, not a social media platform.
I have Jake on ignore. Last time I mentioned it, my post was removed, but Jake is still allowed to flood this forum with Twitter posts.
In my opinion, Twitter (and Facebook) are unsafe. I would not be put off by Jake forwarding links, but he seems too lazy. I only use a tablet. This forum is not mobile OS friendly. Everything takes me longer, but I try to do the right thing for the other members.

I've seen Song of the South. I don't know how young these "younger people" are that you're referring to, though if you're referring to a theater release, I suppose that would lump me into that crowd. I was 2 in 1986-- not exactly the target audience for that film.
I have seen the film though. My friend, whose entire family are huge Disney fanatics, has a Canadian copy of the film.
You can watch it here:

Sometimes I wish that could take over some of your accounts, as it would take me less than 30 seconds to search for an image, copy'n'paste the URL, and then hit save. I've been reading some of you complaining for years that you can't figure this avatar thing out. If I can do it, anyone can, as I'm an idiot in general and especially so in tech matters.
There is an old saying from my radio days: "No brains - No headaches." Old DJs can be pretty lame. I've had plenty of ID 10 T errors.
Okay, seriously. Spence could change his password and PM it to you. You could fix his avatar. Then he could change his password again.
I do believe if anyone here can be trusted in this, it would be you LawrenceA.

I get that "too big" nonsense regardless of HOW small the image I try to post in a thread is.
Sepiatone
I don't know the exact limit, but recall it is a little over 100 KB for the avatar. The sizes spence has in mind are probably much too big. JPG images typically are smaller than other image formats. There are plenty of ways to make images smaller and change format.

This is really hard to do with my tablet. Hope it works.
This is near the bottom of page #3 in the Stickies thread How do I add a photo. Posted by slaytonf.

I am posting this as a link intentionally. It has images. This should help you spence.

The only thing missing is the Back To The Future trilogy.

We use to have a TV channel years ago that showed roller derby on the weekends. Girls were brutal. Here is some information about the Jim Croce song.

Yes, back in the days when gay and queer had different meanings. Back when sex was dirty and the air was clean.

This puzzles me. I have not been to a bricks and mortar in years, but in looking at TVs on the Internet, they seem to have remotes. For years now, you need the remote from the cable or satellite company to change channels. I have a remote for my TV, and only use it to change settings. The cable remote does everything else.
If you purchase a Roku of Amazon Fire TV, the remotes don't have channel buttons. You use navigation keys. I can't get excited over voice commands.
You've a good daughter TikiSoo. These days TVs may not have the quality they use to. American brand names are no longer American.
I am curious about the Panavision style TVs. What do the other aspect ratios look like? I watch a decent amount of older shows not in widescreen. Then again, imagine Ben-Hur taking up the entire screen!

Eeh! I'm tired of talkin' about old movies around here. I wanna talk 'bout somethin' else for a while.
Saaay, how about motorcycles? Yeah, let's talk motorcycles for change, okay?!
So, have you ridden one of those new Ducati models???
(...sorry, couldn't resist...and yeah, like Lawrence just said, welcome to the boards)
