Whatzit?

[MurphOnMillerAve]

OK, here's another Whatzit?, although it's more of a "WhatztheStory?, than just figuring out an "it"....
Let's call it a WhatzUp?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………….


I can't show the photo. Why? Well, once again, when I try to attach the picture, I get under "STATUS" a yellow triangle containing an exclamation mark ! , instead of the green go-ahead symbol.
When I first received one of these blockings several postings ago, I went back and removed a whole lot of photos on other threads, thinking I had reached some kind of limit in posting photos on MTJ. However, approximately three days ago, I removed a great deal more worth of photos than the mere 64KBs this current attempt would occupy, so I have no idea what to do next.

Can you right click on the triangle icon? It will sometimes give additional diagnostic information.

Hi Chuck. Thank you.
I did so, just now, at your direction and received, among several other designations, the following:
Connection: Not Encrypted
Zone: Internet / Protected Mode: On
Size: Not available.

Relevant?

Maybe. I suspect that the "Size:Not Available" is the critical one? There are a lot of image formats supported and some are more forgiving to manipulation than others. If the image size is already small and of lower resolution and you try to crop it down you MAY have arrived at an image that's not supported. BTW, that Size warning may be indicating that the image file is not reporting its size and that's why it's crapping out. The file header usually indicates the physical parameters XxY, pixel count, c/b&w, image type and the actual size of the file in bytes.

BTBTW, The yellow triangles with exclamation points are generic alerts that something is wrong and it's too complicated for a direct readout. No idea why the programers think this is an intuitive response.

Testing; 1. 2. 3.



I wonder what happened to the message in blue? It used to show up when I tried to host a photo in MTJ and the photo storage area was full.

I am sorry you cannot use SmugMug or Flickr like the rest of us Murph. You will just have to wait for your photo deletions to be recognized.

And now for something completely different

[rogruth]

The red things seem to have loops at the top so lines could be attached to lift whatever it is. Nah.

[chuck]

The "traffic cones" are just warnings about the circular trench and the raised nature of the object, aka "trip hazzard".

Some context

[rogruth]

Manhole cover on a hiking, biking, running trail?

[chuck]

Doesn't cover anything except the ground underneath. It's not supposed to move. It's defined by what goes on top of it (which is obviously not there at this point in time).

Why can't you use Flickr, Murph?

Is it the bottom grist-stone used for grinding grain?
That "exit" trough tells us something, too, as does the slightly sloped , outward-facing surface of the whole face of the stone. Could it be a classic "millstone" ?

Why can't you use Flickr, Murph?

I have always posted directly from my files.
I think Chuck may have hit on something with his mentioning my manipulating - editing - some of the photos I have used for the Whatzit images. That may be the reason some images are not allowed.
We'll see the next time I try to post a photo, if ever again.

Thanks for your inquiries, Wayne and Roy. I appreciate the interest.

No grinding. Trough is a simple drainage channel, aka a gutter.

BTW, we're in North America but not the US.

[webenda]

Great! Just great! The entire image, copyright Google, and even google won't tell me what it is. You have given us a super Whatzit Chuck.

Is that what it is, a concrete Super Whatzit? It looks like a survey marker in the center.
