The beardie picture definitely wasn't removed, it is too cute! :D

Like Nae said - an entire thread of beardie pics would belong in the Off Topic forum, but bluey pics with a beardie one added in is perfectly fine.

Sorry there is problems with apple products and this forum. We are still trying to figure out if it is the phpBB or the Apple software, there isn't much about these kind of problems so it is hard to figure out where the problem is. Jeff - you said that you don't have this issue on other forums, do you know if any other sites you are on are running phpBB? Thanks and sorry for the issues!

I know I'm stating the obvious, and you probably already know this, but it seams to only happen when using a URL. Using the option to 'attach' the photos seams to work fine.

Hi Devin

:welcome: :bluey1:

If someone hasen't already said this - don't be concerned about the hissing/huffing (unless his/her mouth is wide open). They hiss/huff to clean their noses. Not really an aggressive expression.

Glad to hear you are giving your new bluey time to acclimate - but once he/she realizes it is you feeding - probably will warm up quickly.

Something you may want to try is keeping your hand near the food dish - slowly going closer each time till he moves away...stickying around a bit to see how long he takes to retrun to his food.

Another technique I use with my snakes - I put 1 sock in their tank that I had worn that day - helps them get used to your smell. Kinda gross, but it works. :shock:
