Just one point to bear in mind, a high proportion of us here have Mac's, I suspect you mean PC, personal computer as opposed to a Windows computer, just mentioning it since it may be relevant.

I tend to agree about limiting the number of images, there is no, 'one size fit's all' with posting images, it depends on the circumstances to some extent.

Moderation is the best way I think.


Yes I agree about Mac/Win/Linux but in truth it is really all about the browser. We can support some but all is a different game as you will get people who want Opera, and others. Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Edge, should be a good compromise for now.

I agree that circumstances may drive a desire for more images in one post but in reality there is no reason why you need to show each and every step and if you do then it can be broken into smaller steps i.e. larger number of posts. If it is so complex then a YouTube linked video might be better.


We need to follow the 80/20 rule!
You will never sayisfy all the people all the time.


If we actually had 80 people posting and 20people silent it would be a step forward. :lol:

I was thinking about when Jeff takes the Mrs to Costa Rica for a month, he will have a bucket full of images to show us. :lol:

Erik, we have 300 members but 280 are silent, 15 are active and 5 are very occasional posters.

I had been wondering about suggesting a cull of members who had not logged on for a certain time. But I thought that they don't really take up much space.

My point exactly.

Lol - so I swelled your numbers by 62/3% all on my ownsome :lol:

You can always use the mass email facility to "ping" members and see if they are still alive.

The number of dead email addresses we get back at data1 when we do that is amazing....

On another matter - I have a mod to make to  the reply file to feed previews correctly in the new template - when is everyone likely to be offline?

Late at night is good as there is only Rich in Australia and the occasional user in USA who are timezone shifted.

And me when I can't sleep...  my cure for insomnia is an hour on the computer, I get so tired I just go back to bed and straight to sleep!

Why not just close the software and get on with it.  An hour or two, or even longer without the forum during updates/upgrades and maintenance is perfectly acceptable.  We rarely have downtime.  Perhaps an announcement the day before that the forum will be off for X hours would avert any concerns.

It's OK - I just waited until I saw nobody but me on the "who's online" so I knew it was at least 50 mins since the last person left.

I often work after the 10pm news through to 1 or 2 am.

The changes are very quick to implement - just the few seconds it takes to upload the modified file, just don't want to do it while someone is half way through a long post they have carefully crafted!! :thumbsdown:
