I wasn't really trying to make much of a point. I was just yanking his chain. People are way to serious about this stuff! Safe swoops Sangiro

Hey, Good for you. I can appreciate a man who makes a decision and stands by it. Not taking this personally at all. I would not think twice about recommending Blinc it to BASE jumpers first. I thought I would point out however that after this post you logged in on the 15th, 19, 20, 23 and as recently as yesterday on the 26th... Safe swoops Sangiro

Of course... Safe swoops Sangiro

David, Good going! Just a heads-up. We are in fact working on a solution for Dropzone.com as well. Someone who knows an awful lot more than me about online mapping kindly stepped in and is helping me put something together.

Tom, It's a feature. Not sure which browser you're on.... can you right click and "Copy Shortcut"? Safe swoops Sangiro

Tip: The search box in the top right corner can get you almost any content you need. Try it. Search for "convention" of "WFFC" in Safety Articles... Safe swoops Sangiro

I have pushed both these articles to the home page again... I'll leave them up there for a while. Safe swoops Sangiro

I guess any advertiser could try to make this point. If someone has a July Sale of gear. Is it a "service to the public" to let them know about cheaper gear? It's advertising. There are advertising options available on Dropzone.com. Feel free to use those. Safe swoops Sangiro

Good idea. I'll add it to my list. The space is not really an issue... I just think it's a good practice anyways.

Yup - you have it right. The Urals are considered to be the border devide between Asia and Europe. Different global organizations seem to place Russia in either Asia od Europe. The UN seem to position it in Europe... which is a strong argument for including it there. I'll look into it some more. Safe swoops Sangiro

I predict before the year is out you'll PM me to remove this post as you'll be "in a serious relationship now" or "her husband found out about dropzone.com"... Glad you're having fun a blast on Dropzone.com! Safe swoops Sangiro

I unfortunately can not at this time. I think it's a good idea (and if I could I had that functionality available I would have used it) It is something that I hope to get set up for the future. I agree it would be a good way to manage that forum. Safe swoops Sangiro

Stand tall ol' buddy.

Heya all, I will post some more detailed guidelines for posting to this forum. In the meantime, it seems that some people are starting to look at this forum as a place to advertise. It is not. Thge Forum Rules apply here the same as anywhere else. The purpose of this forum is to discuss "skydiving events and boogies" We will be much more diligent in removing advertising from here in the future. We will also remove duplicate and unnecessary spamming. Please don't abuse this forum and risk loosing your posting privileges. The following is not a "skydiving event", it's a special that you're advertising: $15 Thursdays at Skydive Purupatoo This applies to the Events Calendar as well. If you want to advertise special offers at your DZ feel free to check out the advertising options on this site. Safe swoops Sangiro

Most welcome sir!

I've added a Quick Search (some dropdown boxes) above the ad listings on each category page. Still a work in progress but it should already do what you asked for.

Hey, Viking is the man who has been so kind to take the load of going though the photos and approving them off my shoulders. He does a great job but has limited access to a PC at this stage. I'll drop in quickly and go though them.

Heya all, I've made a bunch of changes to the Gear Review database and wanted to point some of them out quickly. Last 3 reviews product detail page. I have made some changes so the last 3 reviews written on a product now appears on the main product page. If you want to see all the reviews, where there's more than 3, there are a few pretty obvious links that will take you to all the reviews from this page as well. Click here to see a typical product page. Write Review form on product detail page I've also included the form you use to enter a review at the bottom on the main product page so you don't need to (but still can) jump off to a separate page to enter a review. Flagging Discontinued Products. I have flagged discontinued products in both the gear listing and on the detailed page. I leave them up so people can read the reviews as they are often still sold second-hand. See here and here. BTW - I have not really gone over the whole DB yet so if you see discontinued products in there, PM me and let me know or if you want to post a list, drop it in the Errors and Bugs forum. Sorting Reviews (This is cool!) I have added the ability to sort reviews as we now have enough data to start implementing some filtering. Look at this graphic. There are 3 dropdown boxes at the top of any page that lists all the reviews for a product. 1) The first allows you to show reviews with All Ratings, or just 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 star ratings. So you decide if you want to read the positive, the critical or all reviews. 2) The second dropdown allows you to sort by Newest first (so the latest review will be at the top), the Highest Rating First (all the 5 Star reviews will be at the top) or the Most Useful First (those reviews that received the most votes as useful reviews will be at the top) 3) The third dropdown allows you to show either 10, 25, 50 or 100 reviews at a time. Here's a page with reviews. I will add a few more sort options over time (thumbs up or down reviews etc) and a have some other features in mind but want to shift my attention to the classifieds for a while. Hope this helps.

It's a JS error... I fixed this on the home page. I know there are a few other places where it may still show up. Will go after those soon. Safe swoops Sangiro

Nope - No need to look into this. The Netsky viruses does not infect Linux/Unix machines, which Dropzone.com runs on. We are not vulnerable to the slew of MS targeting viruses out there - but still monitor our systems 24/7 for threats. It uses the technique described below.. and that's why you appear to have sent en email with a virus while you have not. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=304676#304676 Safe swoops Sangiro
