Welcome to the Shoutbox!

The Shoutbox allows you to send and receive instant messages. Here's how to use it:

Sending a Message

Type your message in the text input field and click the Send button (with the paper plane icon) to post it. You can also use the following keyboard shortcuts:
```
Press [Enter] to send
[Shift] + [Enter] to add a line break
Bold (CTRL+B)
Italic (CTRL+I)
Underline (CTRL+U)
```
Messages Display Order

Latest messages are displayed at the top while older messages are displayed at the bottom.

Message Length

Messages have a maximum length of 1000 characters. If your message exceeds this length, you will be prompted to shorten it before sending.

Viewing Older and Newer Messages

Scroll to the top to view older messages, or to the bottom to view newer ones. These actions trigger on-demand requests, so they won't be affected by the polling frequency discussed below.

Message Updates

New messages are fetched automatically based on a polling frequency of 30 seconds and will appear shortly thereafter.

Flood Protection

To avoid spamming, you must wait 5 seconds before sending another message. Please be patient!

User Permissions

You may need to log in to view and/or send messages. Admins may have configured which usergroups can view and send messages.

Shoutbox Etiquette

Be respectful and follow the community rules. Inappropriate behavior may result in a warning or ban.

Pruning Old Messages

Messages older than 500 day(s) will be automatically deleted to keep the Shoutbox clean, organized, and free from clutter.

Resizing the Message Input

The Message input automatically grows as you type. But you can also manually resize the message input box vertically to fit your needs. Simply drag the bottom-right corner of the input area to expand or shrink the box. This allows you to type longer messages more comfortably.

Need Help?

If you're having trouble, please reach out to an admin for assistance.

Hi all, did shorten it a bit in length, ADELPHIA did look too streched ....
Dierk Bauer 07-05-26, 09:19 AM

Thanks a lot Derek

Good morning Dierk, Looks ok to me well done. We certainly don't need ads unless we need the cash for running the site. I would put it on our Facebook group. best regardsDerek

Good mornning all, wishing you a pleasant day Am sorry, but couldn`t reach Adnan, so tried my luck again... what do you think can be done better? The headbanner can be inserted as image file only, one can add one or two advertisments too, but that is not our intention to make money out of the hobby of our members... Can we show it to our members in the Facebook group too...guess most of our members still "floating" around there ... Best wishes from Hamburg, stay Healthy, safe and take care

Hi Derek, was testing, but guess have to try harder Off to bed now...
Derek 06-05-26, 09:29 PM

Hi Dierk, Have nearly finished "Y" will be downloading something else tomorrow and giving it a go
Dierk Bauer 06-05-26, 09:01 PM

am now at page 9 of Re Mercers posting, so 4 to go, but another 22 photos not on his Flickr site, tried to contact him via Messenger, but no response so far, will try email tomorrow...
Dierk Bauer 06-05-26, 08:58 PM

Hi Derek, thanks for the info.... found an old headbanner , made by Robbie in our content, have to find a way to exchange the fishing boat for another one, but still hope that Adnan can find a solution ...
Derek 06-05-26, 08:43 PM

Hi Dierk, Downloaded "Y" from images to be inserted. Have started linking up images with Ricks pages. best regards
Dierk Bauer 06-05-26, 07:51 PM

Best wishes and Good night
Dierk Bauer 06-05-26, 07:51 PM

Hi all, hope Adnan will have time to get our new headbanner done... I tried to find out how it can be done, but guess the result isn`t good enough, Banner should be wider, so that, if possible 3 ships can be shown, if not possible ADELPHIA and VATERLAND without BALLYHILL from Ronnskar Will contact Adnan tomorrow as it`s way after midnight at his place
Dierk Bauer 06-05-26, 07:00 PM

Hi Norman, hope you are well
Derek 06-05-26, 07:33 AM

take care
Dierk Bauer 06-05-26, 07:32 AM

Well...have to run now... mad wife otherwise
Dierk Bauer 06-05-26, 07:32 AM

Well, am trying making it a bit easier if possible... have to admit that for myself it is easier if no location is mentioned as I cannot identify most of them
Dierk Bauer 06-05-26, 07:30 AM

Well, still uploading the files of our restored/saved content, will post the link later, when back home... and upload completed ....hopefully
Derek 06-05-26, 07:29 AM

It is difficult for me to id Rick's postings but some with location mentioned are easier. I am doing my best but guess some will be wrong. Just endeavouring to fill the gaps!
Derek 06-05-26, 07:27 AM

Ok I am trying to upload again this morning once all tasks are done. Leg pain woke me at 6am, going to chiropractor tomorrow. There is not much room on my PC hard drive but I have a spare EHD somewhere that should have capacity
Dierk Bauer 06-05-26, 07:27 AM

Regarding Ricks postings, noticed that he "almost" posted one photo only per posting, noticed too, according to the saved thumnails with correct timestamps -did repost too as evidence- that he uploaded images without complete Megadata too. ONe can assume, that images with Megadata of cameras belong to other posters, but like stated Epson 2450 or 90, Epson 3490 and MP Navigator were used by Rick for scanning etc... and the blackframed ones...
Dierk Bauer 06-05-26, 06:56 AM

Will try uploading all content in the pCloud drive, as it got a capacity of 2 TB and 500 used only for Kents content... Hope that you and Malc and Norman can download all with MegaData intact afterwards, if you got enough space on your SSD/HDs... but have to leave for the city for Docs appointment...am feeling tired and weak still, but "Dr. Google" gave the info that Bronchits last 2 to 3 weeks and it is the end of week one now
