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.

Problem is, that after some time, one has to get in again as the system is closing down the search engine... couldn`t find in Settiings a way to change it

Re finding their post, you have to go to Advance Search, type in members name like Rick R.I.P. or Roedspaetten, click on "Titles only" and Search now...you`ll get shown all started topics and replies than... if you type in the page number you want, and hit Enter, you get it shown

I will have to insert photos direct from the USB as names to long to send to my pc. I have uploaded a couple this morning. The dates on the properties is showing all the same as far as I can see the date they were last modified. 24/12/2012 so unless the post is unique we will have to guess where they belong

Derek 08-03-26, 11:38 PM

Dierk Bauer 08-03-26, 07:58 PM

As Reg Mercer aka Stuteman1, didn`t respond to our emails, was able to find some in our content, but found out that he posted a lot in Flickr too, joined them and hope to get his missing photos there
Dierk Bauer 08-03-26, 07:55 PM

Did start with Kents (Roedspaetten) postings, currently on page 5, but will stop for today now... If you like, you can check the progress by calling up via Advance search, if some are missing and can be found elsewhere
Dierk Bauer 08-03-26, 07:51 PM

Found some in our content, which he posted with Zoner Photo Studio 18 in the EXIF - you find it by clicking on Properties, is located above te IPTC box, left hand corner, downside
Dierk Bauer 08-03-26, 07:48 PM

If you see in the EXIF file MG Navigator or Epson Perfection 3490 it is one of Ricks, as well as images with a black frame, he told me so and you can check it by calling up FAHRMANNSAND IMO 6706814
Dierk Bauer 08-03-26, 07:42 PM

Hi Derek, if I don`t find them in our content, wether by Timestamp or correct named file, am checking the content of OldshipPhotos.uk
