Dire Straits star Mark Knopfler to auction Brothers In Arms guitars - BBC NEWS

[Love Expresso]

He played "Learning the Game" on it, so there is a Buddy Holly relation. More important, he played Golden Heart on it during the early first years with Kitty, so maybe sentimental reasons or Kitty said to him "if that guitar goes, I will be going too."

Imagine poor Mark having sleepless nights and a broken heart about the auction starting tomorrow.

If only we could reach him through the light years of the cosmos and know what he feels... Like maybe using Twitter or something.

Being an MK fan today is like having a Time Machine that brings you 100 years back when moving images and B&W movies were a novelty.

Well, Kitty is one slow learner then too! Double the slow learners, double the fun.

Affectionally called "The Kittycaster" 

Of course, not to be confused with the "Hello Kitty Stratocaster"

Sorry for the large image. Is there no way a resizing option can be implemented in the forum software?

Does anybody have an idea how fast the auction will go through tomorrow? Of course it depends on the starting price and how far the bidding goes. I will be on the plane without wifi acces quite soon after the start of the auction.

Easy, you can just add width and height numbers in the first [img] tag and make the image as big or as small as you want. The trick is to know the original size and just scale it at equal symmetrical proportions. If one side gets smaller 2 times, the other should too.

Example:

[img width=1000 height=500]

[img width=1100 height=600]

I asked and they said that it is of course difficult to estimate, but they will probably do 40-60 lots in an hour.

I guess some lots will go fast like the Eko or Teisco...

I think the video of the Black Strat of Gilmour is around 1 minute and reached three millions

Yes. I only now realised that there is an option to make a pre-bidding and that makes it a lot faster.

I know, and I even tried to search for a smaller one, but Google only has a filter for medium and large images. But it is annoying,though, as other forums, such as The Gear Page, TDPRI, and many others have a resizing feature, plus a much more modern and user friendly interface.

Yeah, the forum is getting just as old as Mark.. I wanted to update 2 years ago but didn't get to it. Last time i did an update some things got broken and it was a helluva job to fix..

It's not like we're constantly exchanging images here, even MK&DS pictures thread is not that popular anyway, so a simple HTML solution is all you really need. AMIT is beautiful in its simplicity, no bells and whistles are needed.
