Am i the only one experiencing this?

Is anyone else finding that since new Tau cam was installed, we are only offered a .BMP file type to save pictures? The other AfriCam cams on the current menu used to offer .jpeg/.jpg file type but after new cam they all only offer a choice of .BMP.

If we save a pic from Tembe website for example, I can save as a .jpeg/.jpg file type but when i save from AfriCam's Tembe cam window i can only save as .BMP.

The .BMP file type is 10x the size of a .jpg. Yes, i am aware that .BMP can be converted to .JPG.

Good morning to some, good day to the others. It's the beginning of the weekend!!!

I am very new here. When I send a picture to be highlighted, how long does it take to show up on the highlight page? Thanks.

There are some really great video clips of wildlife and the natural environment on the BBC site below:

[=green]Science & Nature's Planet Earth Explorer allows you to witness superb natural events and enjoy incredible locations, including the Danakil Depression.

If you're in the UK with a broadband Internet connection and have Flash installed, this link will launch the Planet Earth Explorer and play video showing you the Danakil landscape:

GOOD DAY TO ALL FROM VANCOUVER ISLAND +17 RIGHT NOW LOVELY DAY UP TO +24 WE HAD TWO ADULT AND TWO BABY BARRED OWLS ON POWER LINES LAST NIGHT ( NO PIC) EVERY ONE HAVE A GREAT DAY WEEKEND COMMING UP -

If possible I would like to see legible time and date stamps on the AfriCam pictures.

When cammers do discuss the pictures or ask questions it is very difficult to ID which pic at what time that they are referring to.

Also there is no way to tell if cam window is frozen or continuing to refresh when there are no sightings on it to distinguish if picture is changing. If there is a time and date stamp we would be able to tell if it is refreshing and report any freezes.

as in London, 23rd July whoooo hooooooo. The plan is to meet up at the Two Brewers in Monmouth St Covent Garden, home of many a meet at 11.00 and then go to Belgo for some grub..... more to follow. I can supply further detail to anyone that would like if you send me a PM, can also advise on places to stay should you need this facility. It will be a great day and we hope to see ya there!!!!!

Hmmmm, mighty quiet in here today, and I must run, have a great day all!

Hi and bye Bomites, the day is flying it seems, have a great day all, I must run, lol!!!

We hope all your wishes and dreams come true Marge...((((Marge)))
