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, guess you`ve started way before myself with the computer operations Best wishes all from Hamburg

Hi Dierk, I turned off autostart in most programs in Task Manager many years ago.
Dierk Bauer 27-03-26, 11:46 AM

Hi Derek, maybe checking via Taskmanager which programs are using too much of your RAM...new programs are often in Autostart and using up important RAM, while more or less useless

This is the proof, that Rick scanned lots of his photos with a black frame Good night Dierk
Dierk Bauer 26-03-26, 11:59 PM

Hi Derek, the black framed one is one of Ricks postings and he mentioned too that the location is River Severn, I inserted one of his photos in FAHRMANNSAND, as well as the thumbnail, which was in our downloaded content via WHHtrack https://www.coasters-remembered.com/...nd-imo-6706814

Derek 26-03-26, 11:33 PM

Hi Dierk, I am just looking at the second folder of "A" from Old Ships. Three photos of "Arlingham" but none of them fit Rick's post of that ship. Looking in properties none have any info as to waht camera they were taken by or what scanner One has a black frame is that Rick's ?

Good evening Derek, am sorry about your stomach problem, wish you a speedy recovery... Best wishes Dierk
Derek 26-03-26, 11:20 PM

I have not seen that message on Facebook, I use a different browser which blocks ads. Microsoft of course will help Facebook so I don't use "Edge" and I don't use Firefox either. I have gone down with some horrible stomach problem this evening but expect to back on CR in the morning

Good evening all...just found out that Facebook, in Germany at least, is asking now, before one can continue, to decide if one accepts advertisments, or not, if not, one has to pay a montly fee, or .... leave

Thanks Dierk, I will have a go at getting some posts done later today. best regards Derek
Dierk Bauer 25-03-26, 05:55 PM

Hi Derek, did copy Ronnskars posting of ALFRED EVERARD into the existing topic, created by Rick. You`ll find some of Ricks posted photos of her in the content of (Old)ShipPhotos.uk.... all black framed, used by Rick often..found thumnails of his postings in our content and the black framed (normal sized) photo in the other content
Dierk Bauer 25-03-26, 05:32 PM

Hi Derek, found out how to start with letter A with Ricks posting, after you click on Advance search/ enter member name in box for members and click "titles only".. You`ll see the window with 700+ postings (Topics created and replies) on the left hand side you select "Title" in "Sort by" and Ascending in "Order"... First pages are replies to Kent, who named the ships with numbers in front as per his "system".. so first ship with letter A is A.h.both id 5000122 on page 3.... Hope that it will help, as checking every image out of 45 GB is a task for years.... if one isn`t carried away before Best wishes Dierk
