Crazy Way People Used To Make Money In The Old Days

[Deepmartini]

I laughed my head off when I saw this old magazine article. But, hey when times are tough people come up with some crazy ideas. LOL

I just noticed that you can't zoom in on thumbnails once you click on them, making it hard to read. Could this be a feature to add to the thumbnail viewer? Ability to zoom in closer. Seems like a simple fix which would add tremendous value to forums.

Re-posting the images full size so you can read the article. Article is from the 1920's and is in the public domain.

Yeah but you can't zoom in when viewed on your computer.

They still do. A quality specimen costs around $25-75 now. I can only imagine what a rare, extinct specimen would cost.

A Google search for Butterfly Jewelry throws many such vendors.

It makes no difference whether you embed them as thumbnails or full size, you can still zoom in.
Just hold CTRL and move your mousewheel.

 

[Deepmartini]

Yeah but a lot of people don't know how to do that. It would be nice if there were a link that says "view full size".

There is.

OK I see it, it's "open in new window" which isn't ideal. Would be better to be able to click thumbnail, view image then click again and zoom in on it. Opening a new window takes you out of the site experience. Or set thumbnails to show full size upon clicking. Why have them still be shrunken?

strange that your attachments in your very first post were disappearing when hoovering over those attachments.
Is this a XF-bug ?

Option 1. BTW I don't think it's gross, but I do believe there is something wrong with people that like to keep/collect animal corpses, unless it's for scientific research.

Agreed.

Those kooky old people! Much worse than today's people making jewelry out of dead pets or even dead people.

Yeah happening here too, on FF 3.6.13

 

[Deepmartini]

Wierd. Must be a bug. Hope they spot this and correct it.

There is a market for everything... you just have to find it, exploit it, manipulate it, and put yourself right at the top of it to make the most from it.

Marketing begins at birth (hospital, clothes, stroller, etc) all the way to death (casket, flowers, burial / cremation). Everything from birth to death... marketing, positioning, money can be made... what you do in-between is the interesting part.
