Saw on the news tonight that they traced it back to a street in Dudley. All a bit odd. The room we were sitting in has wooden floorboards that have been stained (properly, not with tea!). These all started to move about, and then the entire place started wobbling.
It was over in a few seconds, but unlike anything I've experienced before.

Rather ironic that the title of this thread, quite unrelated to the eathquake, is "try this out"!

I was fast asleep when this earthquake happened - cheesed off 'cause I'd gone on about the 1984 one in Wales to a geography cover class last week.

Remember if you want to show such an image properly (without the squashing effect) you can always right click and view properties. Then you could like to the file name using the IMG button.
Althought I don't want to encourage the wholesale posting of images in terms of bandwidth consumption. The avatar stuff is very small (20k max) so not a problem. Need to be careful with larger / other images though.

Perhaps you could put up a hyperlink to another site with the pic on instead?

The only trouble with doing this is that you can give a domain a bad name. I know anyone I catch linking to my materials without credit - i.e. passing games off as their own without any mention of SchoolHistory whatsoever - is that I can ban the domain from using my site.
You might think this is small beer but I don't want SchoolHistory being blacklisted.
N.B. This is me being way overcautious though!
