Using Paint I quickly reduced it to 640 wide (148KB) but then failed to find how to display it on Fcebook.
So I have added it to my own Facebook photo collection so that I could get its URL to display it here on Corfid

Of course the original full sized 2.72MB image file was attached by Char to her 10 November (4:48PM) posting earlier in this thread and her own "small" version (800x400) (only 82.8KB) is in the collection of 8 photos attached to her later (7:48PM) posting on 10 November
Whatever I duly acquired a fine set of 26 high quality mp3s from guitars101
I examined the Guitars101 postings by the self proclaimed 101guru known as Zeppo (who I see has previously uploaded a total of 500 assorted lossy (ie mp3) sets of which no less than 30 are by Gord including 1964's The Canadian Talent Library and the Skip Weshner Tapes which are in 4 rar archived files so it looks like the complete 4 CD set
I note that the Guitars101 Forum program is Powered by vBulletin® Version 3.7.0
(an older version than 3.8.7 that Forian uses for Corfid) so you can use familiar search methods
But the most interesting feature for me is that for this his latest addition Zeppo had foregone his previous reliance for file storage on either http://mediafire.com,
http://rapidshare.com or
http://filefactory.com (who all use a puerile countdown delay system then throttle the download anyway. so that the 367MB rar archive file of lossless (probably FLAC format) files for the 1968 Fillmore West Switchboard recording is currently scheduled to take over two hours!!)
and for the second time Zeppo used the fairly recently introduced replacement by Kim Dotcom for his banned http://megaupload.com operation the site in his home country of New Zealand at
http://www.mega.co.nz
which I know offers a huge 50GB of free cloud storage and as I found when downloading a progression of updates to the insider trial of Windows 10 was being successfully used by some of the distibutors of some unofficial DVD iso image files. That fact made me resolve to set up an account at mega which I have yet to do but when I do I intend testing whether images stored there will display on Corfid since it looks like my experiments using onedrive have mostly failed
