Hi Bob,

Have a look here,  I think this will be my new standard. Equasis data including ships management data. I didn't take much longer and it didn't hurt either :-)

Hi Andre,

Could you present us your to do list in order of what will be handled first.
This way we will know which ideas still will be implemented after migration.
It could avoid double reactions or provoke additions and/or advises to the ideas.
If you could realize an estimated time path along with it, we will also know how much patience  we have to practice on the individual items.

Hi All,


pm_inpyn is concerned:
"On the new site they are mentioned at random and I am missing sub-category."

I know the programmers changes are instantly seen on the Beta Site.

When it was first launched, the categories looked slightly different.
I suppose he's working at this section of the site right now.

The changes I see since, is that some categories are double but not complete and that now, when you search in a main category that contains sub-categories you get results. Before you got none.

All of this because of members commented on this. This shows that our comments are taken seriously, but it just takes time to implement all of it.

To all I say: I think we need to be patient. Where "the FLY-boys" go wrong in ignorance, just explain to them what's what, don't judge them that leads nowhere.

Hi all,

Bob i'd like to comment on what you say about MMSI and Call sign.
You are right about members not filling in all details. The ones that do,
help making the search options larger. So if one doesn't know the name of a ship or IMO number but do know MMSI or call sign, More info about the ship can be found using those.
I still feel the advanced search is to limited in options. But while developing I think in time (together with members putting in more effort in filling in the blanks) we will have a database with an enhanced search other websites will be jealous of.
One of my proposals has been to have a field for inland vessels ENI number their equivalent for IMO number. Adre Brandao (AIRNAV) understands the importance of it, because inland vessels are increasingly outfitted with AIS transponders and show up on the AIS screen.

Welcome to the site,

From me a word of welcome as a fellow member and a warning as well.

Beware, ship-spotting can be addictive  :-) . Make sure you keep an even
balance between the spotting and your family live.

An other word of advice, when you really think to get into this. Start from scratch with categorizing your photos, it will help you in the future.


Have fun,

Ed

P.S. It would be nice if you fill out your profile form (Edit account/uppper left corner).

Hi Steve,

Good thing you pointed this out here. Such situations could even lead to facing charges of slander either to the poster of the message itself and/or the site as a whole, and damage our reputation.

Possible solution:

Never mention the words "breach of copyright" or copyright "infringements" etc...
Until proven so. Not even including the word "possible, or alleged"

Just to mention: "shipspotting photo seen on website X ,with a copy of the link to it" would be a valid and neutral alert to something that might be....

It would be up to the copyright holder to react appropriately.

While not everyone is following the forum, a direct PM to the copyright owner might help as well.

Yes Goeff,

that's what i meant with"Informing on copyright infringements
Yes, why not, and yes why not have a special place for it on the forum."

And yes Cornelia lets keep it clean and to the point.

Mention the infrigments and if you deal with them share with the community
how you did solve the problem and what results you made.

I read you  "gone through this. Either they ask next time, remove photos and some pay."
I ask, how did you solve this, did you just write them. Did you use a lawyer? Was your result always 100% or have you also been ignored by some. And when ignored, what did you do or will you do next?

Maybe the solutions that you hand, can be added with anyone elses expierences.
Which in the end may lead to a topic in the FAQ's "how to deal with copyright infringements."

Hi Bob,


"I suppose I will have to put up or shut up! (I do not see the latter as a realistic option!)"

So the rest of us have to put up with your whining about our whining..... :lol:  

Just pulling your leg..

What's the use of a forum other than discussing topics among people.
That's everyones liberty.

One who feels it's moaning, doesn't like it....
Well that's like watching television, just change the channel or even switch off the set.

Better, come up with a new constructive subject or idea, share news, upload your best photos.....

Hi,

If it must change, it would be from a desire on your part to be named in the titel without breaking to much with the old format i guess.

I suggest something like:

"ShipSpotting.com - World's Largest Shipping Community, and marine photos database. Supported by (maybe? ...and/or
