Lovely to see these pictures on the forum, and it was obviously a very successful event once again. However, I am unable to open any of the links to see the rest, perhaps because I do not do Facebook. When I click on the link the first message I get is 'the content cannot be shown on this frame', and advises me to open a new frame. When I do this I receive the message 'The page isn't available'. It seems that I must log into Facebook or open an account to view these links. Is there anything else I can do as I do not want to open a Facebook account? I am interested in all the links, but would especially like to download a copy of the show programme.
Hi Jo.
Thanks for the detailed reply on the issues with the links.
I spent hours looking through all the pictures and sorting them before i could upload them.
I then spent all last night uploading them and i hoped sharing the links from Facebook would work sadly not though.
I will have to upload them all again to google to share everything on here so a few more hours work for me unfortunately.
I do wish it was easy to share pictures and files on the forum but unfortunately its not and thats why its use has dwindled as members prefer Facebook for ease of sharing their pictures.
Thank you so much for your reply. I am so sorry! I can well appreciate your disappointment and frustration after all the hard work you have already put in. I do appreciate why many people find it easier to use Facebook, but sadly I have had unpleasant experiences with it myself in the past when I was still working, and have no wish to use it, or any other form of social media, ever again.
If you have no wish to engage with social media it is still possible to set up a Facebook account to view things that are posted there.
You do not have to use your own name for the account, you can set it so nobody can add you as a friend, and you set it so all your posts are private - you don’t even have to post anything,
This will take you five minutes at most, whereas George will probably have to spend two or three hours to upload photos to an alternative location.
I have posted videos and photos from the show to the GRF Facebook group, and other people who attended the show have done the same. It’s a great group and you don’t need to compromise your own security by joining Facebook with a secure, private profile set up as I’ve suggested.
Further to my post above, I have now subscribed to Facebook, and so am able to open all the pictures. Thank you again, Steve, for your advice, and thank you very much George for the wonderful photos! What a wonderful day it obviously was - I only wish I could have been there.
Please find my pictures now uploaded onto the Google platform for non Facebook users.
To upload the pictues to use on this forum takes many hours so depending on the views it receive will depend on whether i will continue to do all this for next years dog show.
Last years post on here with the dog show pictures only had 129 views so do you think its worth hours of work uploading pictures and then posting them here?
Most of our members prefer our facebook page as they can share their pictures and comments so much easier.
Below are the links to my pictures on the Google platform.

Thank you so much for going to all that trouble George. Not everyone likes social media, and I'm sure they will appreciate this as much as I do.
Very best, Jo
