Hello!
The last time I replied to a post I messed it up and made a new post. I need more practice!

I am now using the quick reply just to see how it works.

Now I will try adding some code.

Now I will try adding an attachment.
Well, I got the picture on but it is in the wrong place. I must try again.
Well that was easy!
That is a __________ attached to your BS2?
It is a homemade capacitor made from a single sided circuit board blank. I sawed it into two 1 inch square chunks, nipped off a corner on each, drilled holes and soldered in some wire. I then put scotch tape on one of the copper sides put the other copper side next to it and scotch taped it together. My meter says it is 220 picofarad but my meter is just an old cheap Radio Shack and gets kinda funky when you measure less than a nano. What can I tell you it got the job done.
So how can we be sure if you really fish?
Phil wrote some instructions for adding a full size image in post #7 of this thread.
I modified a few of his steps in post #15, to get it to work with IE8.
I live in central Pennsylvania, and I am married, I grew up by eating speed beef and hate it now so all there is left is fishing.
Number 2 in Phils post talks about an img. Is an img the same as a attachment? I see nothing else when I hit Go Advanced.
If this works I will have made my first reply with quote.
After hitting "Go Advanced" and with your small picture located where you'd like the big picture positioned, click "Preview Post".
The post should appear above the text editing window.
Right click on the small picture (in the preview image not the editing window) and select "Open in New Tab". Click on the new tab created and select the large picture by clicking and dragging your mouse over the picture. The picture should turn blue, indicating it has been selected.
After the large picture is selected, press ctrl-C to copy the picture.
Return to the editing window in the previous tab. Click on the small picture inside the editing window (not in the preview). Press delete to delete the small image and then press ctrl-V to insert the large image. The large image should appear where the small image had previously been.
As with many computer tasks, there is more than one way to post a large image. I described the method that's the easiest for me to explain.
With a little luck you may see an image of my big fat face.
I'm sure it's the camera's fault. Look what my camera did to my skinny face.
Nice, a capacitor worthy of a new Stamp thread if I may. Hopefully your forum testing is going well?
If my 65 year old brain can remember what I have done the testing is going really well. I am thankful that there is a lot of help here.
I believe my meter isn't worth a darn for measuring picofarads. I have read that if a capacitor has 20j written on it it means 20 pico.( the j is just a tolerance) Capacitors add up if you put them in parallel which leads to a higher number for the meter to calculate. If you put five 20j capacitors in parallel and take a reading and then divide this reading by five the answer is 51 which makes no sense. I then did the same thing with capacitors with 33 written on them and the answer was 65, another no sense reading. Luckily capacitors have a reactance which can be used to find what the capacitance really is. Another job for my BS2, I can hardly wait.
Me with a haircut and shave.

I'm having camera problems, too, it seems. My hair is always neatly combed.
