(Please Let me know if any of my info is with this, I'm trying to learn Imgur. Thank you.)

I can tell. Make sure to Edit and Resize images that are like 3000x pixels. And no it's just a picture of birds staring at a tv.

Thank you, I'm really really trying to play technology catch up, but I'm starting from scratch. For now, I guess I'll have to write captions in bottom of image.

No problem, the Imgur thing is an extra hoop from the days when SA had a number of people to kill someone's private image links.

That said it's a very good site to quickly resize an image and post it on a forum. Generally speaking if you're posting on a forum I'd recommend no larger than 600-800 wide otherwise you end up with it going way off the screen or doing all kinds of funky formatting things on lower res screens, plus in general it's best to avoid posts that a giant mega-pictures.

If you link the IMGUR link rather than the image link, we will see any Comments posted on the image, but it won't display in the forum.

ED: If you WANT to post a giant mega picture link to the Imgur and post a Thumbnail instead by putting a t in front of the IMG code.

They could do what photobucket did and monetize all existing photo storage and block it from loading.

this entirely ruined 90% of car forums on the internet that had how to guides with pictures.

Angela Kang (one of the show's writers) is now the new showrunner for TWD. Gimple has been promoted to a position that oversees both TWD and FTWD.

Why do they keep letting Scott Gimple fail upwards? They just made that new position up and promoted him to it.

It's especially bizarre considering this season has been a major decline in ratings and and increase in fan frustration. The show has been spinning its wheels for almost 3 seasons now.

At this point I just read summaries of the episodes, roll my eyes and mutter ‘Jesus Christ’ then come to this thread to have a laugh.

What they should have done is move Dave Erickson over to show runner of Walking Dead to see if he can right the ship like he did with Fear. And then they should shoot Gimple into space.

basically confirms Carl being killed off is for shock value. TWD has become Survivor, but with fictional characters and a random character death at the end of the mid-season finale instead of the end of the episode.

I think I said this before, but they should do a 'The Mist' ending.
Everything is loving bleak, about to die, and then a helicopter hovers over, lands, and a shitload of soldiers come out.
Turns out the rest of the world found a cure quick, fought off the zombies and were taking back the US.
And one says 'We have been broadcasting on radios the last few months, were any of you listening?"

They even have Melissa McBride to reprise her role. It'll be perfect.

you know honestly about half of those were good. moonshine episode had good moments, Jesus episode was a nice change of pace. Four Walls and a Roof is one of the most memorable episodes in the entire series.

I do wonder how much the single episode writers have to deal with what the showrunner has for the big idea. If you were handed the Glenn Dumpster episode where you had to include all of what they wanted you would be up all night trying to write something that makes sense.

Yeah, just because she wrote the GLENN DUMPSTER episode doesn't mean she came up with that plot point. I'm going to chose to have some hope that TPTB recognized how pissy fans were and how the ratings have eroded, failed Gimple up, and we may have a shot at a better show.

If Gimple is in some makework consultant position overseeing video game canon and lunchbox licensing, maybe he won't gently caress up FTWD either.
