I really do not know enough Chris about FB since I am not a member and really do not wish to have that much info out on me in the first place that's called family phone,email and skype(favorite).The FB version sounds like a totally different forum/interaction from this one is that right?Not sure why Chris (Njaco) no longer comes around. He is active on the FB page for the forum.
I honestly wish the FB page would go away. The forum is so much better.
Hi guys. I'm still here. I poke in but don't do much. To tell the truth, my enthusiasm has waned the last few years. I've retired and that has been a mistake. The last year at work was the roughest. I have had medical issues and so has the Pre-wife. It just gets tough. And the Forum has changed. I can't keep up with the changing looks and to be honest I don't like it. Its a little tough to get around. I miss the spirited engagements with fellow members and nutjobs but that hasn't happened especially since everybody is checked at the door now. So this hasn't become the refuge I used to enjoy. I've run out of gas. But I'm still around.
That's right. Facebook groups are a little more chaotic. It's not a medium where you want to store information for a long time as the info sinks away quickly and there is not much structure. It's probably a bit better in almost realtime and more casual contact between people, that's why it's called social media.I really do not know enough Chris about FB since I am not a member and really do not wish to have that much info out on me in the first place that's called family phone,email and skype(favorite).The FB version sounds like a totally different forum/interaction from this one is that right?
...... Also many old photos were hosted off site, which those locations may not exist anymore. I've been trying to download remotely hosted pictures and store them on the server. Some may have been missed though. - david
Glad to see crusty show back upWell another crusty showed up
Thanks everyone. One of my peeves is the constant - or so it seems - changing of this place. Each time I have to check my threads to see if anything has changed. Pics gone, text disappeared. Its frustrating and tiresome. And it really isn't as easy as it used to be.
But I'm still here ad will be. I just saw Gary in Wildwood this past summer and hopefully get to see some of you. I keep plugging away.
Direct uploads are fine here. If you post a linked image the site will eventually grab and convert to attachment. So you can do it either way.David, is it preferred that photos not be linked to other sites? I started doing that over in the Picture of the Day thread and elsewhere. I'm on another forum where they do not allow ANY direct uploads due to concerns about eventually overloading the server space so what is our stance in that regard?
Originally when I scraped all the linked images I had them add as thumbs. I can easily fix that with a database search/replace command.But if a pic has carried over with the new changes, it shows up very small and you have to actually click on the pic to bring it to the proper size. My "Battle of Britain" thread has done this. As I stated, even though they are nothing to start a war over, these little things just bugged me. They may be one of the things that made me lose some interest the past year or so.
I can look into those posts/threads. Could you post a linkone of the missing items are dates from the "This Day In..." threads.
I've been slowly going through my old threads when I have some extra time and making the pictures full size, but that takes a lot of time and I'd rather spend the time at other places on the forum. If there is a way to change all the pictures back at one time that would make my day!.....But if a pic has carried over with the new changes, it shows up very small and you have to actually click on the pic to bring it to the proper size.
There is. I willIf there is a way to change all the pictures back at one time that would make my day!
