Crikes, I had a scare yesterday when I clicked the community link, everything had changed, places I could not find, even this place seemed to have been gone, I could not locate it anywhere in the changed style. Thank goodness the community forum looks similar to its former self.... just wonder what's going to happen if eBay puts up the new style for good!?

What did it look like? Don't suppose you grabbed a screenshot did you? I haven't heard of it being re-imaged yet again, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised...

Unfortunately no I didn't, I just got the hell out of Dodge, but it was atrocious, like something you get free from a 3rd party message board host! I certainly hope they don't go for it, it was not a good design!

Well, if it happens again, see if you can grab an image of it. Bearing in mind they do roll out changes gradually and it very much depends on which server we are connected to whether we see a new look or an old one during any transition...
Is it possible it might have simply opened on "text only" due to some kind of glitch?

Apart from me grabbing the ½ snipe 16950, Wizi, that's a very good question and I don't think any of us know the answer.

No, me neither!
Had another slip-up this Saturday, or should that be, a slip-down? I was taking some pictures whilst out and about at a country park, got to a disused canal (no water) which was part of the old industrial sector of the grounds, way back when, I wanted to get some pictures from down in the canal bed so I walked around to find a way down, which I did, problem was, it was a tad more slippy than I had realised, I was part way down the slope when my foot gave way, so down I slid down, down, down, down, until.... I landed at the bottom on my feet, I looked back up, at to where I had taken that fateful step and said to myself, 'Whoops'! As I stood there, covered in mud down my left hand side, pondering as to how I could get back out from the depths, I decided that I would just soldier on, as it was not the end of the world, I have been in worse situations which I have gotten out of with just a little bit of observation and simple planning, I was sure that this situation would prove to be of a little inconvenience. I walked around the canal bed, snapping pictures of whatever I thought was of interest, the architecture, the masonary, the rusting metal frame of an old canal barge, but the most interesting, yet at the same time, terrifying, was the abyss that lay before me at the end of the canals path! Starring into the now fenced off tunnel into the mine, the fear, overcame me, I averted my gaze, as my mind conjured up many a terrible visions as to what could be lurking in the darkness. After what seemed like an eternity, I found myself, wandering about aimlessly, as if in some type of hypnotic daze, to which I may never escape.... then I found some steps and a walked out back to where I had started ![]()
Here, check out the spirit orbs:

I see no orbs?

I've highlight, circled in red and numbered the ones that I could see, in this version of the pic. Number 6 is illuminating behind the bar:

They look a bit compact and sharp compared to classic orb pictures; that's why I didn't see them... Do they appear on any other pictures you took at the location?

They're sharp because I had to apply the Sharpen More filter about 2 or 3 times to the image, but I haven't had a close look at the other pics yet, so I can't say!

As we're made of energy and energy cannot be destroyed, merely change its form, orbs are supposedly the almost visible forms of those who have died and are loitering in the area that they died, or was the place they liked to be the most, they sometimes can be caught on camera.

Yep, you never know! They don't always appear as orbs in the pictures mind you, sometimes they appear as a mist, a shadow, or some strange type of light anomaly, it varies per the strength of the spirit energy.

Channel 11, Channel 17, Channel 38, yeah, though personal experience as well.
