Sorry for the dumb question(s)... but when i try to save some pics it's showing as an AVIF file...what's is a avif file? What's is the best way to copy and paste the pics from the threads i want to nominate?

AVIF is just another image format, same as JPG, PNG and others. It came about around the time of the pandemic.

I think most browsers support it already, so all you have to do is copy-paste the AVIF link and it will show on here.

I don't know if everybody already know this, but here's what I do to look for pics to nominate for POTM: I use the Advanced Search to show only posts created OR answered during POTM subject month.

Here's how:

• Open the Advanced Search
• The search also works with wildcard characters, so on 'Keywords', type the star character: * (see 1)
• Select the first and last day of the POTM subject month (see 2)
• Select All forums (see 3)
• Check 'Include sub forums in search', if not already checked
• On 'Sort by', select Date (see 4)

Unfortunatelly the Advanced Search is not perfect to the point of only showing pictures posted during that period, which would be ideal. But it does make looking for the pictures slightly easier.

You're going to get quite a few posts as a result, but at least only for the date you chose and in the order you chose. You need to open these posts (in a new tab, preferably) and look for the pictures yourself.

...

Another idea is, if you see a picture you like now in the month of March, for example, click on the post number (on the top right of the post), then bookmark the post on your browser. Then next POTM you have your nominations already sorted!

Hope this helps, or if anyone has any other ideas, feel free to share.





Edit: Sorry to mess up the POTM thread, Craig!
