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.

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

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

Good morning all from cloudy Hamburg, wishing you a pleasant day Did send a msg to Reg Mercer too, but no response yet, hope he is okay. It is a pity, that you cannot view the date of change of the files as it is really helpful, finding the postings afterwards. and in case of unreadable names can lead you to the correct posting afterwards.
Derek 06-05-26, 06:17 AM

Good morning Dierk, will be carrying on with "B" but not finding anything from Paul Allen in the content. He has not replied to my message on facebook all the best Derek
Dierk Bauer 05-05-26, 07:52 PM

Hi all, am now at page 6 (of 13) of Regs postings. got most of his photos, but 12 awol, could add some photos for Rick too and mended some links well most of Paul Allens photos missing too, a few only found in our content, cannot understand why he doesn`t even respond Best wishes Dierk
Derek 05-05-26, 03:01 PM

Hi Dierk, Managed to post quite a few today including some of Rick's. We are off out for the evening so I must log off and get ready. Take care now Derek
Dierk Bauer 04-05-26, 09:20 PM

Good evening from Hamburg, got Traders postings done, started again with Reg aka stuteman1 postings, getting most of Flickr, page one done, so 12 pages left only.... will tackle Ron Hallidays postings afterwards, got all his discs, save one, but Ron told me that he got its content stored on his HD still Best wishes and Good Night

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.
