There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

APOLLO AND PARVEZ
Thanks for the corrections on Hairyfoot and the Nagarahole tiger.
As to the reason. When I want to use an article or a photograph for a post, I use Photobucket to edit the scan. When done, the result is returned to my computer. What I use for the forum, comes from my computer, I mean.
Photobucket is an important tool, but it has become unreliable. More often than not, I'm unable to log in. When I succeed, I can't work for long because of all the errors. Preparing a post, for this reason, has become a time-consuming and irritating affair. As errors, irritation and mistakes get along just fine, the number of mistakes had risen.
As there's nothing wrong with the computer, I decided to find out a bit more about Photobucket. What I saw, strongly suggests Photobucket is suffering from problems. As they're unable to solve them, I decided to call it a day. I'm deleting all albums, that is. May take a while as a result of the problems mentioned above.
I'm not saying mistakes are a result of unreliable tools only, but they are connected. I saw the Panna documentary more than once and have the picture of Hairyfoot you posted. When I was done editing and sent it to my computer, another Photobucket error made it disappear completely. Hours later, tired after a few hours of trying, I sent a picture of a more or less similar tiger to the forum. I just didn't see it and it wasn't the first time.
Anyhow. I need a new tool to edit scans and pictures. If any of you has an idea, I'll be interested.
