Help and Advice / Full Screen

« on: April 13, 2017, 09:53:40 AM »

Is anyone having problems when trying to view a photograph on full screen?

When I click on 'full screen' the image looks squashed. This has just started to happen over the last week.

Help and Advice / Theft

« on: April 08, 2016, 08:45:10 AM »

It has been brought to my attention that at least two of my photographs have been stolen from Ship Spotting and placed on the Vessel Finder website.

The person who stole them credited himself as being the photographer. Needless to say I have reported the incident to Vessel Finder who have since removed them.

I have since done a random check on the photo-stream of the 'thief' and noticed at least two others have been stolen from Ship Spotting. I have, of course, sent private messages to the Ship Spotting members who are involved.

Help and Advice / IMO

« on: December 09, 2013, 03:51:02 PM »

Earlier today I submitted a photograph of the PD Ports dredger "Cleveland County" but, for some reason, it will not accept the IMO number. I have tried four times to add it and each time it shows as "unavailable".

In March last year I submitted another photo of this vessel and the IMO number shows without a problem.

Any ideas or suggestions here?
