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 Derek, thank you very much, can be that we have to spend it, when we find ways to upscale all our thumbnails to a dwcent viewing size, found one, but they charge 50 $ per month and most of the reslults are useless... so better wait for better AI systems....
Derek 04-05-26, 03:08 PM

Dierk you should have had a transfer via paypal from me all the best don't spend it on pipe tobacco ha ha
Derek 04-05-26, 02:54 PM

Hi Dierk, I have a very large monitor so have Miramar open alongside CR. Hope you soon feel better. My sciatica is still making itslef felt in my back and right lower leg. So I am not very mobile without care.

Off for my nap now
Dierk Bauer 04-05-26, 11:45 AM

btw am now at Traders postings, did finish Heye-P with 100 percent result. well thanks to Kents treasure of 482 GB of pure gold for us
Dierk Bauer 04-05-26, 11:42 AM

Hi Derek, it is no problem for myself, as I am using 2nd monitor, using my Miramar account etc... and after all these years can see if one is from this space of time or another... important if it is the same name... so it is not time wasted on my side... and adding IMO or IDNo is no problem too... Best wishes Dierk.

Hi Dierk, Yes will add photographer unknown. I could not find threads for some I did find one or two. But after searching and finding no thread I add them. Working my way through "B" I come across those with threads but not always. I will try harder! When I can get around to it some money will come to you to lighten the financial load
Dierk Bauer 04-05-26, 09:49 AM

Hi Derek, thank you very much for uploading all these old vessels... just in case you`re wondering where some went... did move them to the existing thread/topic created by Rick mostly... btw am wondering if we should add to "uploaded from file" the remark "photographer unknown to us ? Guess they are mostly out of copyright after all these years/decades, but makws live easier for us ....maybe
