Jumping ship

I refuse to use photobucket for one second longer. I haven't investigated the alternatives yet, but this is simply not negotiable.

I swear to all of you that at some point my ROM entry looked right and the entirety of every picture could be seen, but at the moment most of them are being cut off and they're appearing on AO3 at their original size though I very carefully re-sized them on pb.

I am absolutely enraged - bizarrely, for once my instinctive choice is an available mood.

Fingers crossed that it's fixed permanently :)
And I just realised I only have the size issue with gifs, so it might be down to how they get uploaded. Or something. Here lies the end of my technical ability!

Right. I once tried to explain my ability with computers as akin to:

1. Something happens.

2. I boggle at the stupidity of computers.

3. I tentatively prod around the edges of what I know how to do in an attempt to identify what something has just happened.

4. I fail to do 3 in any effective manner.

5. While I am trying to work this out, the computer in question has somehow produced marshmallow unicorns which dance upon rainbows, and now proceeds to unleash them into the world.

6. I alert the media.

7. Sadly, by the time the media arrive the unicorns are gone and my computer is once again (miraculously) working properly.

This cycle is why no one believes me anymore when I cry marshmallow unicorns.

*wipes tears of laughter from face*
Marshmallow unicorns?!?! Yeah, that sounds just about right. Thank you for making me giggle from inside my fortress of philosophy books and stacks of notes :)
