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 500 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 Malc, did manage to ID all IMO Numbers, as well as the "last berths" of the posted vessels... did reshuffle all accordingly, can I delete your postings in order to avoid confusion?? Thanks a lot all for all your efforts
Dierk Bauer 23-02-26, 08:15 PM

Hi Derek, thank you very much for posting the unknowns... am not sure, but maybe we should concentrate on coasters etc first, could be that members would like to concentrate on coastal shipping in the future... got a lot of "flak" because we got all the ocean going (deep sea) ships, but so far nobody suggeted anything at all
Derek 23-02-26, 06:53 PM

but this is not always so difficult...am trying to use the searchengine always...and if no hits showing...something is wrong, as we got this content from our forum, soit has to be there... somewhere .. like Rick and Pete once said to me..."welcome to the club of Ships P.I. "
Dierk Bauer 22-02-26, 06:04 PM

Hi Malc, the file names of our photos are often misleading...like WORSLEY%20HALL%201886c0dd is the Worsley Hall , posted by Rick in 3 topics...and one is a "Double"...https://www.coasters-remembered.com/...rsley+Hall"%7D
Dierk Bauer 22-02-26, 05:48 PM

Hi Malc, got no WOODNICA.... WODNICA is correct
Dierk Bauer 22-02-26, 05:01 PM

Hi Malc, looking good...and is it easier for you now, using attachment upload via the camera icon?? will check for double postings (old ones by our members) as well as adding info...but can be that it will not always be at once
