I'll try this one as a test:

... and the result - FAILED on the initial try after dragging and dropping the image. Message was something like "Predecimal coins can't handle your request".

 

Paddy and others, try dragging an image into a post. Should work now.

Here's one such image:

(That's a still from a Blue Peter episode where they used 2 of my coin images in a Penny Farthing Bicycle feature - earned me a Blue Peter badge!)

Ok - as a try and for want of anything else to post, a picture of my Grandfather's WW2 medals:

Yes! Worked fine.

Excellent! Took me a while to ID that last one on the right. Dutch Orange-Nassau, fabulous. The ribbon looks very similar to the standard WWI British War Medal. 

[Paddy]

Yes, the Dutch one is for "Knight Commander of the Orange Nassau with Swords", which he got for his work rebuilding the dikes in the Netherlands after the war. (He was an officer in the Royal Engineers.)

Have you spotted the mismatch? The TD medal in the miniatures is the correct one I believe, the TE is a replacement as the TD got lost somewhere along the line.

There's also a 'MID' leaf on the miniatures, but not on the full size. But if that's how they got to you, assuming your grandfather is no longer with us, then probably best left as they are.

the only oddity I have noticed is a congratulatory notification that I have completed one whole year! 🙂 

Sadly, I didn't get one and I've been reduced to a "Newbie" when I click on my Id.

Everyone has defaulted to newbie I'm afraid. I can bump anyone up (have done for you) if they don't fancy waiting to accrue points again.

Something else of interest, and pertinent . 

And No, my dad was not involved in the invasion. He was assigned elsewhere.

Oh well, if we're doing medals .. let's see if this works.

No. Doesn't work for me @Chris Perkins

Says I can't paste images directly. I have to upload or insert from a url ..

What kind of device/browser are you using? It is the same if you try something else?
