Site related news, functions and modules / CFD question

« on: February 11, 2024, 07:57:34 PM »

My Photo of ferry Isabelle has been deleted with "poor quality" as a reason. I responded to the admin twice asking for clarification of what "poor quality" means. Too dark? Too light? Not sharp? Pixelated? Something else? Never received an answer/clarification. I responded immediately after receiving the first note and then 10 days later but nothing in response. 
The photo looks fine to me.
I find "poor quality" quite vague and not explaining it does not help in preventing this from happening again. To be clear, I am not looking for arguments or anything like that but I do need communication and clarifications from admins.
Thanks...

Does anybody have any info on how much Egypt's profit has gone down now that some companies opt to sail around Africa instead of risking being attacked by Yemenis?

Site related news, functions and modules / What is the definition of a harbour?

« on: December 17, 2023, 09:46:11 PM »

I while ago my photo has been deleted with explanation that it was a marina with yachts, not a harbour. Lately there have been a number of photos under "harbour overview" with yachts only or just a few fishing boats.
So what is the criteria for harbour vs marina?

Site related news, functions and modules / Can we have the pages back?

« on: September 26, 2023, 03:20:35 PM »

So I scroll, say 100 photos down. Then I click on a photo to see the larger version of it, click back to go back to the thumbnails and the photo I just viewed is now on the top of the page of thumbnails. I find it rather inconvenient because all the other previous photos are now not visible unless I go back to the main page and scroll down again. I preffered the previous version where we had pages.
Any thoughts?

Site related news, functions and modules / "Favourites" can't save more then one photo of same name

« on: August 25, 2023, 03:54:19 AM »

I tried to save 3 photos of SEA CLOUD but only one appeared in the "Favourite" photos. If I delete this one I can save another one of the same ship but not two or more photos of a ship with the same name.
Am I doing something wrong or is it a glitch in the system?

Site related news, functions and modules / Can the name of this city be corrected?

« on: July 14, 2023, 12:22:27 AM »

I have uploaded few pictures I recently took in the city of Herceg Novi (two words), Montenegro. The website shows this city spelled as Hercegnovi (one word), which is incorrect.
Can this be fixed?
Many thanks.

Site related news, functions and modules / How does that "search" button by ship's name on "upload" page work?

« on: February 02, 2023, 05:21:33 AM »

When I upload photos, I enter the ship's name and click on the "search" button,( the looking glass icon) beside it. More often then not, the window that pops up says "no ship found", whether the the exact name box is checked or not. I then find the IMO on marinetrafic, upload the photo and there are many photos of the given ship with the same name I entered.
What gives?
Why does this search button sometimes find the ship and sometimes does not even if the ship is already on SS with the same name?

It was fun to see them in the years past. What happened? Either way, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Site related news, functions and modules / What is that map icon beside the "location" for?

« on: December 15, 2022, 09:09:12 PM »

I click on the map, zoom in to Vancouver, click "use this location" but the location displays just "Canada", which is a bit of a broad location :-).
Any thoughts?

Site related news, functions and modules / Why is "Vancouver, Canada" missing as a location?

« on: November 16, 2022, 05:30:06 AM »

Well, not entirely missing. When I entered Vancouver as a location, as I have done in the past, what shows up is "Vancouver Roberts Bank" and "Vancouver Berrypoint" . Both of these places are very, very far from me and there are many other places a ship can be when in Vancouver. What happened to just "Vancouver, Canada" that we had before? I tried entering just that and the website apparently crashed and the message appeared saying "service unavailable".
Thoughts?

Site related news, functions and modules / Problem with Equasis password

« on: November 06, 2022, 04:34:35 AM »

They informed me that I need to change my password. Fine. I entered a new password and it is not accepted. I entered another one, not accepted. I chose a secure generated password option...not accepted. Then I gen an e-mail saying that I have been locked out due to too many unsuccessful log in attempts. I had this problem with them last time too. Ever since they introduced this log in stuff I only had trouble with them.
Any other websites to get the IMO number etc?

Site related news, functions and modules / I don't want to join SS social media. Please stop pestering me.

« on: June 11, 2022, 04:18:52 AM »

In the last few days a window pops up in the middle of my screen saying "while you are visiting SS join our social media blah blah.." First of all, I am not "visiting", I am logged in as a member of 10 years. Second, if I close the window, it means that I don't care to join. With today's technology, it should be traceable, especially now that that annoying "turn of the tracker" or whatever message keeps also popping up and I have to turn the tracker off to view the website.
So please stop pestering me to join! I don't want to! Please remove that message.

Site related news, functions and modules / How to disable the ad blocker of Firefox?

« on: May 23, 2022, 04:33:37 AM »

That pop up thing that shows up on every page is bloody annoying. I tried googling how to disable the ad blocker but the answers don't help. I don't see shipspotting anywhere, or any other website that is on my favourites list.
Help as step by step instruction is very welcome.
Thanks
