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.

Good morning all, wishing you a pleasant day Am on page 79 (out of 100) of Kents posts, while Norman is working on page 22. A few photos only couldn`t be found, maybe due to being safed in danish

Hi Derek, guess it is a RAM issue, I`ve got the max possible RAM in my computer, which is 32 GB.. but one has to check if your motherboard got a free slot for additional RAM device... Another possibilty is downloading in "letter" parts from my OneDrive Cloud ... The link https://1drv.ms/f/c/806f6ed9e232e075...IjW5k?e=crCaqa

Good morning all from sunny, but cooler Hamburg,wishing you a pleasant day
Derek 23-03-26, 06:49 AM

Is there any other source to investigate for Rick's photos?
Derek 23-03-26, 06:49 AM

Good Morning all, apologies for my absence for the last few days. Dierk I have been trying to get the Old ships images off the flashdrive and onto an EHD. But so far it is not successful I will continue to try but the flashdrive gets going and then disconnects itself from my PC. I have tried SS USB as well as slower ones but to no avail. I get the message not enough memory. Even though I have shut down the inernet and everything else. Guess my PC is past it?

Good morning all, wishing you a nice day and a pleasant weekend... overshadowed by what`s happening in the Gulf region... am keeping fingers crossed, that no more seafares, as well as all innocent people, will be getting harmed and that this tragedy for all people will end soon
Best wishes from an overcast Hamburg
