This is a real laugh, I tried to access Flickr because I vaguely remember seeing somebody else's photos several years ago on Flickr and thought I might have a historic account. When I tried to log in there is obviously some BT connection because it took me directly to my BT web based email account, no option to upload photos at all. I then went to the Tapatalk website as well and that didn't offer an idiot proof means of uploading a photo somewhere. I can see this becoming a full time hobby, just trying to share a photo. It's a lot easier on 911uk you know, click on "add attachment" and bingo.
I like to think I know a thing or two about technology (having one been at the cutting edge of it in about 1996 when I bought a minidisc) so forget all this tippy talk nonsense and do what I do.
What you do is, when you get your photos back from Boots or wherever you get them developed, fold them up nice and small then stuff them in the grille of the telly thing youre reading this on, just above the type writer. Mister Quiffy then sorts it all out when they pop out on his telly in Norfolkshire,
p.s. Don't worry about all of this- I'm certain that this technology fad will be over soon enough.
If you're using a tablet (iPad or looky likely iPad) or smartphone then the easiest way is to download the Tapatalk App - it's free. You access the forum through that App, and it lets you upload pics directly from your iPad
If you aren't then I recommend you make listen to some of the helpful advice you've already been given
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young but I'm just backdated yeah
What's all this got to do with horology ?
Incidently, I bought some goo from Ideal World to remove the green weeds and moss from my patio.
Now I have black dead weeds and moss on my patio. I prefer the green ones. Am I due a refund ?
I am currently wearing a 1949 JLC wrist alarm if that helps.

For some time now I have, purely as a personal hobby, been fixing clocks. Over the past few months I have ventured into pocket watches with some success. I recently purchased a rather nice "English Fusee Full Plate Lever" watch which I was aware was not working. I have since discovered that it has a broken balance staff pivot. I have cleaned and reassembled the watch for practice and enjoyment but I do not have the expertise or equipment to make or replace the staff. I know I could take it to a horologist and get it repaired but I was wondering if anybody who follows this thread had a similar interest and the neccessary equipment to do the repair on the balance wheel alone or could suggest somone who would carry out the repair without needing the whole watch. I don't want to spend a lot of money on the watch as it probably doesn't justify it, but would be willing to pay for the staff replacement so I can get the thing working again.

I considered taking a course but I think you can also sign up to use their equipment.

Thanks for the reply that's a great idea, unfortunately I live in France so it would be quite way. I don't know of any courses near me to take advantage. I have just taught myself up to now.
I'm guessing some horologists might consider it a piece of jewellery rather than a timekeeping masterpiece, but I just love the look and hence the purchase. Thus far it has actually kept very good time incidentally.
