Author Topic: Upload your random pictures Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-11-2003 04:53 PM                     Gerard, you are completely missing the point here. It is NOT a joke. Porn sites were uploading their content here and sucking bandwidth which costs a lot of money. Something HAD to be done, and there's nothing better than a blurry pic of Joe with his "angry face" being displayed on porn sites rather than the actual porn that those webmasters were expecting to be displayed. It was not intended for YOU to see, but due to your system you are seeing it. Perhaps down the road we can change that to read "your computer or firewall has issues. Go to X webpage to read about your options to fix it." or something along those lines. Right now it isn't a real high priority as there are only a very small handful of people who are seeing the website the way you are.  |  IP: Logged Gerard S.

I'll try to print on a friend's rig when he gets back from vacation. The funny thing is how I have no trouble with archived collections listed on the Film-tech home page, but only on present-day forum threads.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

New custom software was implemented on that date and images from then on are affected. If it is possible to use a browser other than IE for MSN with your connection, download Opera and use it to print pictures... it doesn't suffer the same problems as IE's poorly implemented print rendering engine.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-11-2003 08:13 PM                     No, no, no, the main webpage of opera.com now only offers version 7, which is evil. Download the last good version 6.06 here or you can use this link. Both are for Windows.  |  IP: Logged Gerard S.

Daryl: You wrote quote: Images uploaded prior to November 11, 2002 are not 'affected' by the measures taken against the problem. New custom software was implemented on that date and images from then on are affected To test this, I just printed the first page of the new home page offering, "How to build a simple breakdown clutch...etc." from 5/11/03, and the photos and text printed properly, exactly as they appear onscreen. The same for Sam's upload of his apartment Brenkert, which I printed the day it was offered in the highest priority category, both long after 11/11/02. So is it possible there is a loophole in your security net, or some strange inconsistency in my software that allows me to print from the homepage offerings, but not from the forums?

I just wish I had time to clean them up and see if they would work. We even have the rectifiers for the arcs, the old mecury vapor tube types.  |  IP: Logged Matthew Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 461 From: Port Arthur,TX Registered: Sep 2000 posted 05-12-2003 07:39 PM                     Newest pic of me.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-18-2003 07:35 PM                     Actual leader found on a print.

But if the leader is from a Danish lab then Danish it is.  |  IP: Logged Jean-Michel Grin Expert Film Handler Posts: 222 From: Geneva & Lausanne, Switzerland Registered: Jul 2002 posted 05-19-2003 03:04 PM                        Bad Luck for me and my weak English; I don't understand this word "Slut" Could someone translate it for me that I could laught too ?

Similar to a whore or prostitute, but a slut doesn't necessarily do it for money.  |  IP: Logged
