    Also easy: click and drag photo from your desktop or folder onto the message and drop it. Another easy: click the photo icon above the message, click the box that pops up and select the photo from your computer or phone.

    View attachment 196551

    What not to do: click the attach files button below the message.
    If you click the attach when the pic is done loading click insert and then full size. How are you guys missing that. It’s to easy. I go through and edit soooo many posts when the pic is small. Especially in the classifieds. That’s just being lazy and making the members open the pick so we can see what the heck you are selling. Drives me nuts.

    If it’s already posted go back and Click edit then click insert on the pic and then full size. Then save at the bottom of the post.

    I will cheer any failures on the left with much glee.
    With each story that came out, many of those people were smugly and heartlessly saying “they got what they deserved” of every death of an unvaxxed person; they were pushing for people to be fired if they didn’t get the shot; cheering when people got thrown off of airplanes. Yes, the needle on my schadenfreude meter pegs with each crash and burn of these people.

    So it seems that you guys are misreading what happened here. The articles I read say it was killed because the new management having a different vision before it was even started.

    Seems really stupid to launch something like that less than two weeks before a chance in management of that magnitude.

    Its March 29 debut, ahead of parent company WarnerMedia's April 8 merger with Discovery, sparked speculation about its fate as a stand-alone service.

    Warner Bros Discovery's global streaming president, J.B. Perrette, said in a statement that the CNN brand and its content will be part of a more comprehensive streaming offering. The company also operates HBO Max and Discovery+, two services the company has said it plans to combine.

    So they plan on merging CNN content with a more comprehensive steaming offering.

    That's just telling me CNN+ wasn't good enough to stand alone. It was still a crappy idea to begin with.

    It sounds idiotic and not so true. With that amount of money laid out especially.

    Is it possible that they saw the reality's in this but too late.

    .
    Management changes usually mean changes in direction regardless if the direction was good or bad. Incoming people want to qickly put their stamp on things. In this case it was a smart move dumping this loser.

    It was a smart move and an acknowledgement that CNN+ was a stand alone loser like we've all been saying.

    Doubtful. This was a total change in command structure. The guys in charge now couldn't be involved in decisions until after the merger was done, so they couldn't stop it from starting. Once they were in charge, they put an end to it. Mostly it seems because they are against having a bunch of streaming services. Instead they want to put all of their content into one service, a mini cable service of sorts.

    I haven't seen anything that said that. They were apparently on course to meet their subscriber goals.
    Ok you got me. Looks like CNN+ would've been a hit. Even more so than CNN. I'm just biased because I don't like them. I admit it.

    I have no idea why anyone on planet earth thought people would willingly pay a premium for something that very few people want now, despite it being free.

    Really? A project and team are underway and the current management team has no idea this is coming or when if they maybe heard a rumor. Who was to pull the plug?
