A forum update would be welcomed but more members are crucial to the survival. I don't remember ever seeing anything in N&V about the forum! Why not? Are we orphans? I agree on the membership. We need more real folks here but, for that to happen, there needs to be more here here! :smile: As for...

I don't suppose any one has proposed "Captcha" for keeping spammers off the site? Thou,It seems we aren't be inundated by as much spam of late. <snip> Actually, we had a captcha system in place and the spam-bots would blow right past it. We were getting about 40 to 60 new "users"...

Fix the HTML code to fill out the META NAMES for "keywords" and "description" As it is now, they are both blank. I already pointed this out in the "Where is everybody?" thread. Noted and already being discussed with the server admin. Thanks for the heads up! (and the p...

Does any one know the approximate monthly the sales volume for N&V magazine? Servo magazine? How about digital copies? Warning! Opinions expressed ahead! :razz: I was able to find a 3rd party statement of circulation here: http://www.echo-media.com/mediaDetail.php?ID=16866 Quick numeric summary...

One feature of the forum that would help a lot i think would be to give the readers/posters a way to upload a schematic drawing (or even another type of drawing really) directly or indirectly to the forum page. CanDo! :smile: This function is already possible using the board as it currently is. Met...

Hi Ya Vern Nice to see change on the horizon. Something that has my curiosity is what is the plan to promote? As can be seen it is pretty quiet around here. Ron Glad you asked! :smile: The basic plan is to realign the forums to sync them up with the magazines. We want to give readers a way to comme...
