Hi, i noticed some problems with the forum options. Mainly two:
-despite there are many quite long threads, it is still (after so many years) to visualize more than 40 replies at once. Even editing the HTTP has not changed the situation. Why there is such limits, as there are topics with hundreds or thousands replies (and therefore very, very long to be read x40)?
-Most disturbing: in the ‘print version’ i cannot actually visualize the images, but only the links. Why? This means that, basically, i have to print or save the pages that interests, only in the lousy standard version. I don’t know if there are SW problem with the site, of SW problems with my PC, but having proof the stuff with IE, FF and GC browsers, evidently it is related with forum settings. But what’s the point to have a print version page that do not visualize the images but just the links? this can be ‘economic’ for the printing, but it is definitively a failure for who want to archivie-print the page in his PC or printer.
Those problems, despite the SW, are present probably since the beginning, as i am not a really newby in the forum. But i ask: there is some tricks in order to rectify those problems?

And presumably, having found little help or support here, you have contacted the Webmaster directly to lodge your complaint and request improvments to the operation of the site.

Well my friend.
As a wise man once said.
“It’s amazing just how much information is available on the internet. It’s even more amazing just how much of it is complete cr*p”.
If you’re using the serious sections of this forum as a reference library on aviation I’d say this: I’d treat 50% as surmise, another 25% as just plain disinformation and the rest as something close to the truth.
Also, and it’s a small point but of interest to photographers and artists, many pictures will be copyright to someone or other.
So if you’re copying stuff, you might like to ask permission first, from the photographer etc
And perhaps, seeing as you’re also such an aficionado yourself, why don’t actully contribute on one of the serious parts of this forum (Historic, General Aviation, Airliners etc) rather than posting obscure technical complaints on this bit, which is the rather light hearted, away from aviation section..?

Depends what you are considering as ‘rubbish’ (your post, perhaps, are so). for the wealth of knowledge made by more than 10 years, it’s a mountain of useful infos and should be preserved in a good amount.
Surprising as the young forumers (‘digital natives’) are not friendly with terms such OS and SW.
I’ll still ask for someone (webmaster?) competent in those things? Is it possible that, after 10 and more years, the forum is still so limited as functionality and friendly-page printing?

I think OS mean operating system. Not sure that the criticisms bother me me much – if at all!! No one has to be a member so if it’s not working to anyone’s satisfaction they can go elsewhere…..:confused:
It seems that he wants to print it off.
Goodness knows why anyone would want to print off much of the rubbish which is written on here.

OS?

SW = Software.
I’ll repeat:
1- i cannot visualize more than 40 posts at once, and i find this quite strange, as the normal layout is 30. So the ‘print version’ is not a great gain at all.
2- i cannot visualize, in the print version, any picture. Why is it so? Is it a problem made by SW forum, or by my PC/browser/OS?
Anyway, i’d hoped that, in all those years, KP forum would have been improved in those aspects, but it seems it is still like 10 years ago or so.:(
