    ... ah, now if it were "Readers' Cats" - that wd make much more sense.

    I'm sure the true Third Programme audience is one that has cats rather than dogs... :

                Pabs, I didn't answer your question - it's 'he', called Dougal. Our previous Beardie was called Hamish

                  I think you'll have to resize them before uploading to whichever site you use. I don't think you can do that in photobucket (?). This one is 1024 x 829, which should ideally be resized to about half that (i.e. a quarter the size)

                  There was a request for a 'cat thread' soon after we opened, but there were several suggestions which mirrored threads on the existing r3ok and I didn't think it was fair to muscle in on what they were already doing, especially as there were members here who belonged to r3ok as well. Also I wanted the forum to provide something complementary.
                  It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                    Thanks ff; that's what I thought (re sizing).

                    Having threads for various pets could get a bit complicated - you might even end up with a 'Readers' logs' thread

                        You can resize in photobucket, I've just resized my Portia!
                        (Just click on Edit>resize and then choose, this was altered to 220 in first column)

                          A man is sitting in the pub when he hears a bowl of peanuts on the bar saying "Oooh, you really are amazing. Oooh, you are lovely." Then the fruit machine shouted "Rubbish, look at the state of that haircut. And those socks don't go with those shoes." The barman apologised. "I'm sorry," he said, "The nuts are complimentary but the fruit machine is out of order."

                                I'll have a go & see if it has a retrospective effect.

                                I've re-sized them & it didn't change the size here, so I tried editing the post & pasted in the new link, which also didn't sem to have any effect
