OT, sort of - Eternal-SeptemberYou know, Diana, I think Ray hit the nail. I can go to abp gardens and am receiving recent pictures from members but not from non-members. But non-member text comes through just fine. I can read Wendy's posts but can't receive her pictures same as here on abpo.

I remember the discussion about the problem. E-S is of no use if we can't see the original posts. Oddly, I can see the ones that were up before I logged on with E-S.

Back to the old drawing board. Maybe a note to the site admin.

If I recall, there was a discussion about (motzarella's) issues with attached images only showing up if they were posted by one of their own subscribers, but I thought that had been resolved.

All:

May I ask, who here is using eternal-september.org? And if you are, can you
see all of the original posts? I am getting threads, but no OPs other than
the one KB posted, and she was using eternal-september. I also was able to
read my own.

I remember that when some went to Motzarella that they had this same issue.
How did you handle it?

OT, sort of - Eternal-SeptemberThis was an issue when people first began to use E-S. Tomorrow, or soon after, I will see what I can find out from the site. We need this resource. Oh, and rgo comes through just fine, so it's the binaries.

The Orchids Digest is now run By Kenneth B (I'm not going to even
attempt to spell is name before coffee) for free using freelists.org.
Looking at the freelists info, it appears that it is possible to have a
list with attached images. Seems to me that it would provide us a way
to share photos at no cost to anyone; maybe a little time as a moderator
to kill abuser's participation, and I'm willing to give that a try.

Basically, you just send an email with photo attached to the list
address (I have applied for " - not active
yet; should be within 24 hours if approved) , and the server distributes
it to all members. Reply, and that goes to all, as well.

It is possible to have all of the day's messages sent as a single
"digest", but with the images, that's probably not a good idea, as it
could be huge!

What the heck, let's give it a try and see how it goes. I can always
close it down again. I'll cross-post info if it's approved.

OT, sort of - Eternal-SeptemberSounds like a great idea, Ray. It would be like using newsgroups except you use your email instead. Let's face it, newsgroups are collapsing because they're not profitable to the ISPs. Email is pure gold since everyone uses it and it's not likely to be shut down. And you're willing to do all the work! What more can you ask for? Thanks Ray.

We'll see if it is even accepted by them.

The lists are supposed to be for "scientific" purposes only, so when I
applied, I commented that it was a "sister" to ,
and would be used to share images for the purposes of identification,
quality assessment, and the like.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I've even stopped reading my mystery
group because there's nothing going on there either. Usenet is going away.

Interestingly photos seems to be the main topic of interest in the
online community. The AOS forum's number of posts to the picture
threads outpace the culture threads.

Copyright and file size may be an issue. [shrug] I usually don't post
an image unless I don't care if its stolen by an eBay vendor. Or I can
watermark the hell out of it, *G*!

OT, sort of - Eternal-SeptemberAnything I can do, I will, Ray. BTW, I have tried twice to sign on to Orchids Digest (at Freelists). I get the postings every day in my inbox but can't seem to join that list. I got as far as a notice that said I'd receive an email to use for verification, but I never did get one.

I think the mod's name is spelled Viateur.....Signs everything VB.

Default OT, sort of - Eternal-September

OT, sort of - Eternal-SeptemberViateur does a lot of posting of synopses from various publications along with links to the full article. Many are interesting. But I'm pretty Viateur is not the administrator of OrchidGuide Digest unless it's a nom de plume. The administrator is Kenneth Bruyninckx, the owner of Akerne orchids in Belgium. Ray's comment is self evident from this. Kenneth ran the newsgroup which I think had the same name before switching to freelists.

Anything I can do, I will, Ray. BTW, I have tried twice to sign on to Orchids Digest (at Freelists). I get the postings every day in my inbox but can't seem to join that list. I got as far as a notice that said I'd receive an email to use for verification, but I never did get one.

I think the mod's name is spelled Viateur.....Signs everything VB.

I must have missed it too !!! But I'm in on this Ray, sounds like it would work. If you need help with the
moderating just yell.

I will repeat a proposal I made some time ago, but which gained no response: anyone up for a binaries newsletter?





The Orchids Digest is now run By Kenneth B (I'm not going to even attempt to spell is name before coffee) for free using freelists.org. Looking at the freelists info, it appears that it is possible to have a list with attached images. Seems to me that it would provide us a way to share photos at no cost to anyone; maybe a little time as a moderator to kill abuser's participation, and I'm willing to give that a try.



Basically, you just send an email with photo attached to the list address (I have applied for " - not active yet; should be within 24 hours if approved) , and the server distributes it to all members. Reply, and that goes to all, as well.



It is possible to have all of the day's messages sent as a single "digest", but with the images, that's probably not a good idea, as it could be huge!



What the heck, let's give it a try and see how it goes. I can always close it down again. I'll cross-post info if it's approved.

OT, sort of - Eternal-SeptemberGotcha. Anyway, see Ray's later post about Orchid Photos List Serve. It's up and running. Hope to see you posting on that list. I miss your neat plants.

I'm pretty sure that Viateur is just a poster of web published orchid
stories. I always guess that he has a saved search on Google News and
every time a new story has the word orchid in it, he gets a notice from
Google and puts it on Orchids@Freelists.
The annoying part is that he puts EVERYTHING on there. If 8 different
publications do yet another story about that Ghost Orchid in the
Corkscrew swamp, he posts them all.
I save a lot of time reading that list by skipping over everything with
his name on it.

PS Just signed up for the new list that Ray started.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who skips everything from him.
