<p>A message you receive on the cone6pots network is server based, and resides on the server, not on your personal computer. It would be extremely difficult to infect your computer with such a message, especially if you have any up to date antivirus software. The message you received relies on you contacting the sender by your own email, and allowing him to convince you to send him money for something. It is a widely used old fashioned con game, not a computer attack.</p>
<p>Members cannot mass mail the entire membership, only the group of people that they are friends with. So the sender has to leave the scam messages individually, manually, eating up a lot of time. I don't think any scammers have ever managed to contact more than a dozen of our members, before we were able to suspend them. For this reason, I prefer not to mass mail the entire 2000 membership to notify them of a small breach, and thus replace the scam with spam. Instead, I post a status message that you will see in the Latest Activity column.</p>
<p>If you receive any suspicious message through the cone6pots network, Do NOT respond to the sender. Report it as a status item for all who visit the network, or in a message to me. </p>

<p>Your My Likes page will display thumbnails of all of the content and members you’ve liked in chronological order . You can click on any of the items on that page to be taken to the piece of liked content or member’s page.</p>

<p>A second reason for using the "Like" buttons is that "Featured" content can be displayed by popularity, and is easily accessible by all members, right from our main page. So far very few people have "Liked" much of anything, so setting up the "Featured" content by popularity doesn't generate meaningful lists of discussions, members, blogs, or videos. I have been forced to display the featured lists by other filters.</p> The Two Window Technique for…tag:cone6pots.ning.com,2012-01-28:2103784:Comment:535562012-01-28T15:50:02.583ZGeorge Lewterhttps://cone6pots.ning.com/profile/GeorgeLewter

<p><strong>ADDING IMAGES TO YOUR POSTINGS AND COMMENTS</strong></p>
<p>To place a picture in a comment or other posting you need to upload it from your machine or link to it if it is already online somewhere. Say I want to insert a picture below this line that is on my PC. Set the cursor on the next line.</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3127161240?profile=original" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3127161240?profile=original" width="223"></img></a></p>

<p><strong>ADDING IMAGES TO YOUR POSTINGS AND COMMENTS</strong></p>
<p>To place a picture in a comment or other posting you need to upload it from your machine or link to it if it is already online somewhere. Say I want to insert a picture below this line that is on my PC. Set the cursor on the next line.</p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3127161240?profile=original"><img class="align-full" width="223" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3127161240?profile=original"/></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then click the "Image" icon, and a dialog box will open.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3127161416?profile=original"><img class="align-full" width="269" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3127161416?profile=original"/></a>Click the "From my computer" tab, and then click the choose file button. A new dialog box will open that will allow you to navigate to where the picture is stored on your computer.</p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3127161301?profile=original"><img class="align-full" width="556" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3127161301?profile=original"/></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Select your picture file and then click the "Open" button</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3127161447?profile=original"><img class="align-left" style="padding: 5px;" width="455" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3127161447?profile=original"/></a></p>
<p>The Add Image dialog box will reappear with a link to where the file is now stored on the network server. You choose how you want it to align with the text and how much clear space to have between the image and text. You can also scale the picture by setting the width. The picture to the left, for instance is 556 pixels wide. </p>
<p>When you are satisfied, click the OK button, and the picture will appear in your posting. You can continue typing text, or add more pictures. Keeping the pictures fairly small prevents the posting from being massively tall with a whole lot of vertical scrolling.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If the picture is already online somewhere you embed it a little differently by finding its URL. <a width="500" height="339" target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3100440755?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024"><br/></a><a width="737" height="552" target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3100440755?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024"><br/></a>In a different Browser tab or window and navigate to the picture you want to embed and right click on the image. A shortcut menu will open. Click "Copy image URL". This copies the location to your clipboard.</p>
<p>Back in your text box where you are creating your posting, click on the "Image" icon. This time go to the "From a URL" </p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3127163824?profile=original"><img class="align-left" style="padding: 2px;" width="398" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3127163824?profile=original"/></a></p>
<p>tab of the dialog box. Place your cursor in the "URL" text box and paste the URL into it by using the "CTRL" plus "V" keyboard combination on a PC or "CMD" plus"V" on a Mac. When you hit the OK button the image will be added to your posting.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That pretty much covers basic image insertion into your cone6pots postings. Happy Posting!</p>
