Just to say I paid the hosting for the full next year yesterday, so we don't have to worry about it again until Jan 2019. Got a bit of discount so we still have about $40 in the till. Will save for next year as it doesn't look as if our photo hosting is being heavily used It looks like most people w...
OK I think we are there now. Assuming we can get a 10% discount on annual hosting, we have enough to pay for a full year from Jan 20th when the renewal is next due. Will talk to them and arrange it. Still got slightly iffy internet access, but that should be better in a week or so. I'm mulling over ...
Thanks to everyone. We are about 3/4 of the way there now.
I'm thinking of using any surplus we get to buy a registered and supported version of software I installed for photo hosting last year. How many are using this or think the might in the future ?
Hi folks Sorry I've been a bit busy with other things and not been on here as much as I would like. I'm about to go and spend six months in Thailand and been getting things here sorted out ready. I'm hoping I'll have a little more time there and can catch up on the maintenance of the forum software,...
Good News - I think I worked out a technique to recover the Photos we have lost through Photobucket. Bad news - it's fairly labour intensive as it has to be done manually. It takes me about 1 hour to fix a page full. We may only have limited time too as Photobucket may block this. So two questions H...
I'm busy with other things today but It appears the problem is because you have used https for the photos address and not just http. Not sure if the photo package is giving out the address as https - it shouldn't as I haven't bought a certificate for Gn15.info( we don't do money transactions that wo...
OK i've adjusted the server settings so it now works here ! It's now up and live at https://gn15.info/photo You will need to set up a separate login there as it does not link with the forum software. I'm trying the free version for now, but if we have problems may need to change to a paying version ...
My.gn15 uses The old forum user/password database as it's not compatible with the new forum software. So it 's frozen in time - OK for existing users, but there is no way to add new ones or change old ones.
This is why I am looking at new photo hosting software.
Following on from that, I have been thinking about adding a replacement for my.gn15.info as the forum software stores photos in a way incompatible with some other forums - in particular the software used by RMWeb and NGRM-Online. I've been unable to find any free software that i'm happy has all the ...
i'm quite happy for people to use Gn15.info to host picture and use them elsewhere - but yes it does increase bandwidth usage and one day might mean we have to pay more to support and host the forum. Two things - firstly that day is a long way away yet and secondly, as long as the pictures are reaso...
It looks like one of my old test forums ( not this one - it's on different url, but still on the same server ) may have been taken over by hackers and used for nefarious things. I'm going to try deleting it entirely, but it's possible my hosting account may be suspended - I hope only temporarily. Th...
Just to say I'm getting messages from our hosting company that we have exceeded our bandwidth allocation. I've no idea why as we normally only use about 5% of it. I can't access my tools to check what is using the bandwidth as they are on the server and it won't let me use them because I've already ...
I'd look at https://www.onshape.com/open-source It's online so a bit slow, but does everything you want. One caveat - you can only create open source models without paying for it, so it's no good for commercial projects, but for hobby use it's fine and we can all share models on there. If I ever get...
