You need to log in separately for the photo galleries. Did you do that? Safe swoops Sangiro

We do. It's also the gear dealers responsibility what they do with their lives. It sounds to me like there are a few of them here who say they don't want memories of ignorant dead people whom they sold gear to in their lives. So they choose not to sell you their stuff. That's them choosing about their lives, not yours. Freedom works both ways in this case. They have the freedom not to sell it to you. They choose not to. There's the freedom we talk so much about. The rest is good ethics and integrity, something we need more of. Responsibility is sometimes bestowed, and sometimes assumed. Your point is valid that the responsibility for individual safety is not bestowed on any dealer, but that doesn't cover it off. They assume this responsibility on their own. Nothing you can do about it. Bless their hearts. I personally applaud them, just like I applaud the gun dealer who choose not to sell an Uzi to a 16-year-old. (Yes, you can actually legally do this in many places.) PS - I have never dealt with Para-Service so this comment does not in any way express an opinion about the company. Safe swoops Sangiro

With more than 2000 posts a day the moderators are almost certain to miss some. I remove it - thanks for the heads-up. You may want to consider sending a moderator a PM next time.

Added it to the Helmets section in gear. Post your review.

Graham was indeed a wonderful guy and a good friend. He'll be missed. The Incidents Forum discussion can be found here. Safe swoops Sangiro

Nope - that's not what you did.

Yeah, but you're short... basically can't step off a pavement without bumping your ass.

Heya all, Below are some pointers on how to set up a more Advanced Spam Filter for your Dropzone.com Mail account than the one discussed here. A quick description of how this works: All emails relayed though the Dropzone.com Mail server is checked and "marked" to indicate the probability of the message being Spam. In the message header (not visible in normal view) all messages are tagged with a line that looks like this: X-Spam-Level: **** The number of stars indicates the Spam probability. The more stars, the more likely it is Spam. The Basic Spam Filter is set to mark a message in the subject line as *****SPAM***** if it receives 5 or more stars in this line. This means if you use that filter you will catch all messages with 5 stars and above only. To set your filters to be more sensitive you can filter directly on the X-Spam-Level in the header. If for example you want to also filter those messages that receive as little as 2 stars then set your filters like this: From your email interface go to: Options -> Advanced Filters Click on "Add new" to create a new filter. Set up one of the two filters below: 1) Delete all messages marked as Spam before they are delivered. To do this, use the following settings for your Spam filter: If Any header contains X-Spam-Level: ** then: Delete it If you use this method, messages will be deleted from the server before they are delivered to you. You will never see them, they will not be sent to your Trash folder. 2) Route all messages marked as Spam to a "Junk" folder. To do this, use the following settings for your Spam filter. Create a folder called "Junk" (or any other creative name you come up with!) If Any header contains X-Spam-Level: ** then: Move to Folder: Junk If you use this method, then messages will be routed to your custom folder. You have to manually delete them from there. After you delete them here they will appear in your Trash folder. Remember to empty that from time to time. Make sure you only have one of these filters running. The choice is yours delete them before they ever get to you or sort them to a folder of your choice. Also, make sure to have at least one star in your filter setting. With no stars all your emails will be deleted! Also remember, the lower your star rating the higher the likelihood that it will catch and delete some legitimate emails as well. Most normal emails should have a zero star rating but it is probably safe to start with 2 stars as described above. This post is also available in the Announcements forum for future reference.

Heya all, Below are some pointers on how to set up Advanced Spam Filtering for your Dropzone.com Mail account. Before you jump in remember: The default Dropzone.com anti-spam settings are already pretty strict. See out Policy here. If you set this up incorrectly you can very easily filter out legitimate email messages, so walk carefully though the steps. If you suddenly stop receiving any email after you've set this up, delete the filter and start over. You probably did something wrong.[/UL]A quick description of how spam is filtered on Dropzone.com We use an application called SpamAsssassin which scans through every email we recieve, apply some rules and logic and "mark" every email to indicate the probability of the message being Spam. In the message header (not visible in normal view) all messages are tagged with a line that looks like this: X-Spam-Level: **** The number of stars indicates the Spam probability. The more stars, the more likely it is Spam. The Dropzone.com server is currently set to remove all email that scores 4 stars (****) or higher. That's a pretty strict setting. However, you may choose to filter even stronger. We suggest you take your settings down by one additional star at a time, check the results for a while before you tighten it even more. Remember, the stricter your rules, the higher the chance that you may filter out some legitimate emails as well. How to set an Advanced Spam Filter To set your filters to be more sensitive you can filter directly on the X-Spam-Level in the header. If for example you want to also filter those messages that receive as little as 3 stars then set your filters like this: From your email interface go to: Options -> Advanced Filters Click on "Add new" to create a new filter. Set up one of the two filters below: To delete all messages marked as Spam before they are delivered. To do this, use the following settings for your Spam filter: If Any header contains X-Spam-Level: *** then: Delete it If you use this method, messages will be deleted from the server before they are delivered to you. You will never see them, they will not be sent to your Trash folder. To route all messages marked as Spam to a "Junk" folder. To do this, use the following settings for your Spam filter. Create a folder called "Junk" (or any other creative name you come up with!) If Any header contains X-Spam-Level: *** then: Move to Folder: Junk If you use this method, then messages will be routed to your custom folder. You have to manually delete them from there. After you delete them here they will appear in your Trash folder. Remember to empty that from time to time.IMPORTANT: You must use the full phrase "X-Spam-Level: ***" in your filter. If you use just part of it or only the word "spam" you may end up filtering out all the mail you receive! Make sure you only have one of these filters running. The choice is yours delete them before they ever get to you or sort them to a folder of your choice. Also, make sure to have at least one star in your filter setting. With no stars all your emails will be deleted! Also remember, the lower your star rating the higher the likelihood that it will catch and delete some legitimate emails as well. Most normal emails should have a zero star rating. That's it! Safe swoops Sangiro

Michael, Fully aware of the back and forth interactions between you and Andrew... That being said, I will not tolerate this kind of harassment on Dropzone.com. Not against anyone. If you plan to start "researching" personal information to use in thinly veiled threats then this is the wrong place to do so. Safe swoops Sangiro

Made some changes... do you still have this problem? Safe swoops Sangiro
