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 Norman, did notice today that Kent saved some of his photos in tif format, did open with IrfanView and saved as jpg

Thanks Dierk for the info. Enjoy your pipe. You've earned it.

Off now for my beloved pipe

Good evening Norman, found another trick to get at Kents photos, taken by himself... when he stated the date of his photoshot, like 12-02-2014 type into search field and you find the folder with these photos... one cannot find them otherwise, as they got the name from the camera like PA.... only Am slow, now on page 98, but all replies fixed too as well as links

Good evening Malc, did find a few photos posted by Rick with Zoner Photo Studio 18, verified via posted Thumnail on the 27th August 2015, so another possible way to trace his postings

Hi Derek, did send an email with some screenshots for better understanding, just in case if my explainations were not good enough
Derek 09-03-26, 10:05 AM

Good morning Dierk, Ok although I have had no real problems with search I will use advanced. I will be able to insert direct from flashdrive now I have got it working. I have had this problem before with file names being to long for the pc to transfer over but I can upload direct from Flashdrive. I have not got anything else as far as I know to upload into Rick's profile as all I had have been inserted from the alpha list and I could not find anymore on the flashdrive? I will be restricted by time over the next few days but I will do what I can from Kent's list ?

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
Dierk Bauer 09-03-26, 09:13 AM

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

Working...
