Well, here's a random question for the crowd... any recommendations for a portable DC 12V air compressor, preferably one that also has an AC adapter? :) I've had a portal compressor as part of the gear I keep in the back of my vehicle for years now and I think it's finally died. It's a cheap...

Featured 👍 Great choice!

I have no Elvis images but if anybody ever needs a Fat Elvis model I'm game! 😁

At home I've switched from AdBlocker+ & Privacy Badger to uBlock Origin on all our PCs. On my mobile devices I still use Chrome as my primary browser but lately have started using Firefox with the uBlock Origin add-on when needed/wanted.

At the moment we don't have any ads displayed and basic EXIF is viewable by all members. Any donations (aka "subscriptions") go towards the Admin Coffee Fund. 😁

For now just try disabling the ad blocker for Cameraderie.org and see if that makes a difference. 🙂 When I'm at my home laptop later tonight I will check our Amazon S3 logs to see if I can spot anything.

@Irene McC Are you using any kind of ad blocker in your browser? The main Cameraderie server is hosted in the US but the attachment images are served from Amazon S3 servers internationally based on your region. Off the top of my head, I'm wondering if you're running something that may be...

I know a few parents who would be envious of that accomplishment! 😁

Thoughts on a new button at the bottom? The "Submit Nomination" button is a direct link to the 'nominate an image' thread.

It's a phone that should serve you well. During the last round of updates I standardized all of the family to be the same phone model for everybody and went with the S20 5G FE; so far they've been doing great.

Ooooh, I missed that. Yep, it's on (current) page 2 of the featured list.

@wee-pics Were you thinking of the 1st or 2nd pic?

Whoops, I missed the window last night and ended up having to do it tonight. Only off by 24 hours or so. :D

Was the 'two deers' pic identified yet? I think we're caught up except for that one. And, you know, if you guys leave it up to me to find a good pic of 'two deers' I'll end up finding one that look like dogs. OK, they'll be dogs. Fuzzy dogs. From the Dogs thread. 🐶 😁

For now the method of featuring images will remain the same, with the majority coming from member nominations and a few mods' team (and your local friendly admin') selections at their own discretion. I think it makes a good balance of member direct input and mods' team guidance. Feedback on...

A VW Kombi pickup! Those are like unicorns in my area. 😎

I changed it to Documentary unless you prefer one of the other prefixes. 👍 When you created the thread we're the other options not showing in the prefix drop-down? 🤔

Matt, thanks for clarifying. Don't stop. If anything, we should nudge the rest of the team to feature some as well so it's a good mix of member nominations and mods' team picks. 👍

When I was a kid I had a cassette of old 'zany' songs from the 50's & 60's. I listened to that tape over & over again and is likely what led me to later on being a Weird Al fan. One of the songs on it was by Allan Sherman and to this day I'll still start singing this one at random times...

HHhhhhhmm........ 🤔 It's a pretty transparent process of what ends up on the front page; members nominate images in that thread and a member of the moderators team adds it to the 'featured' list. There have been a few cases where a specific image hasn't been nominated but rather a link to a...

The site will be inaccessible for about 20 minutes but a message will be displayed. Unless it's a big upgrade, smaller upgrades usually result in a message being displayed when trying to reach the site that maintenance is taking place and to try again in a bit. Unless something goes wrong...

This Sunday night, May 1, I'll be doing some maintenance about 9:00PM Eastern time. Nothing major and nothing new being installed or removed, just need a few minutes to update a few items to their current release versions.

Looks good and nice job with the LEDs! Your version has more lighting than most of the smaller lightboxes I see on Amazon. 👍 Oooh, nice thought of using flashes for lighting, something a lot of photographers might already have on hand. Are you using plain paper or cloth for the sidewalls to...

I can't imagine VS would kill it without warning; my guess is they're doing maintenance (maybe moving it to new servers or doing their "Fora" software update) and that's their unfortunate holding page. 😲 EDIT: NikonCafe and TalkEMount are still responding so I'm going with the 'maintenance...

For grabbing the URL of a single post, besides the methods mentioned above (thanks, guys!) the universal method is to click on the icon in the upper-right of the post that sort of looks like an angle with three dots. After clicking that icon you'll see a pop-up box with direct links to share...

Greetings, everyone, and welcome Gerry to our community. :) Sorry for not chiming in earlier, for the past several days our 'Fuzzy Dog' has been ill culminating in him going to the local animal ER yesterday. He's home now and sleeping so I'm catching up on my inbox and some of my To Do list...

It's all good. 🍻 As Matt/MoonMind alludes to though, with it being a holiday weekend (for those that celebrate it) it usually means that traffic is way down so it was a good time to slip in an experiment or two. Having the add-on active on the site, even temporarily for a few hours, gave some...

It's an experiment to check out something. The folks who've mentioned other forums where all of the reactions are shown instead of using a pop-up menu is done with a 3rd-party add-on that adds several features. I picked up a license for it and, after trying it out on our test install, had it...

Personally I don't drink alcohol but will still use 🍻 with friends as a 'thanks' or 'cheers'. It rarely comes up but, for anybody who knows I don't drink, if they ask I just tell them it's root beer. 😁

Thoughts in no particular order... On mobile devices do a 'long tap' on the 'Like' link to bring up the menu. In other words, instead of doing a quick tap on the 'Like' link, tap and don't lift your finger right away. The menu pop-up should appear. The XF developers modeled it after how...

The direct link for those interested... Pink Floyd - Hey Hey Rise Up https://www.amazon.com/Rise-feat-Andriy-Khlyvnyuk-Boombox/dp/B09XBW591Z

Past few days have been binge watching some older movies like Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Director's Cut) on my new toy, a 4K OLED TV. For years I've been watching stuff on a Panasonic Viera plasma TV and, while it has a great 1080p picture, literally all of the TVs in the family & extended...

Looks like I forgot to circle back.... the "Adapted" prefix for threads in the Lenses forum is now available. If there are any existing threads that should be updated with the new prefix then (a) any of the mod team members have access to move threads and/or change prefixes; (b) if somebody...

Well, that's bizarre! I'll look into it, I don't recall ever setting any options so I'll have to dig into it to see where the logo & text is set. Thanks for the heads-up.

It's good advice for anybody who uses PayPal to check their recurring payments on a regular basis. 👍 It's way too easy for a vendor to mark a payment as recurring instead of onetime. https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/autopay/ Reminder: Any "Cameraderie" PayPal transactions will be either...

{Adding a poll after the conversation is underway seems a bit leading... :cautious:} Would there be enough activity to warrant any new dedicated forums instead of using the Lenses forum? It's easy enough to add a new thread prefix like 'Adapted' to the forum which is a good way of seeing the...

Another non-drinker here for the same reason. Anybody who has ever seen my lack of willpower around pizza & cheesesteaks understands why I don't take the chance with alcohol. :LOL:

Is that a Chewbacca beer koozie? :cautious:

Sounds like the 'Lenses' forum would be the place? https://cameraderie.org/forums/camera-lenses.204/

FYI follow-up since I know some of our members are involved with other XF communities. For the non-tech crowd, you can skip the below. 🤓 The root cause of the issue was an update to PHP 8.0.17 and PHP 8.1.4 that cPanel has pushed out. Sites with the combination of XenForo with...

Welcome, Rob! :cool:

Agreed, the light shining alone would make for a great shot but with the rider in the scene it really gives a 'wow' factor. I also hope the rider saw that huge pothole ahead of them! 😲

I'm a 'dog guy' but couldn't resist featuring this shot by @Irene McC 🐱 https://cameraderie.org/threads/the-requisite-cat-kitty-photo-thread.723/post-458940

Welcome, Sandy :cool:

Welcome, Dirk! I was not familiar with Nimes before and had to see where it was in France. I was surprised to see that it is known for so much preserved Roman construction. 😎
