james phillips Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 <p>I have just been over to the new LF forum that Bjorn and the others have been hard at work on. These are the people from <A HREF="http://www.largeformatphotography.info/">Tuan's site</A> that said they would get another site working. Well my congratulations goes out to them because it is now working splendidly!<p> <p>Bjorn has posted a message that <b>"Now, most things are done, so please go ahead and test the forum. There are of course more to come, but I think that the basic functionality is there now."</b> There are already some questions and answers there and more building everyday.<p> Here is the link <A HREF=http://binoni.nu/lf/main.php? forumId=1">click here</A> to the site. Hope to see you over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james phillips Posted September 23, 2002 Author Share Posted September 23, 2002 Well looks like I need to study my HTML because I goofed up the link. Here is is in plain text so that you can get there properly. http://binoni.nu/lf/main.php?forumId=1 Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtis_nelson Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 I just visited the new site, and it looks great. Is this forum at Photo.net only temporary? I can't figure out why there is a nearly identical forum out there unless this one is going away. Anyone? Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bj_rn_nilsson Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Gaah, hoo hummm. I'm not sure if we were to go that much public with the testing, but never mind. The forum is almost done. The functionality of the forum is there, but some of the links in the headers doesn't work the way they should. The q and a stuff does work as intended though. Another thing is that whatever you post in that forum may not be carried over to the new place. (If we move that is!!!) There was never any intention to run the forum from the binoni.nu site, as I only use it for testing purposes. The server is physically located in Sweden, for whatever that matters. I would like to find out how you people on the other side of the puddle (the Atlantic that is) feel about response times etc. But all of that could and should be discussed in that forum and not this one. About the look and feel of the forum: It was my and Tuan's intention to have it look and feel the same as the old LUSENET. We think that it's a good idea to have things the way the community is used to. There are a few small differenties and we might add some more. The programming language and the database are different though, so all of the development is done from scratch. See ya all over here, ehh there, ehh never mind.

qtluong Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Curtis, if you'd like to learn a bit about the historyof the QA Forum and why it might move away from photo.net,please see http://www.largeformatphotography.info/lf-photonet.htmlThis is only my perspective, but there will be a vote.

james phillips Posted September 23, 2002 Author Share Posted September 23, 2002 Bjorn, In regards to response time on the present site here is my take. So far the response time on binoni.nu is as good as and most times better than here at photo.net (I am doing this from Western Canada on an ADSL line) Unless there is a compelling reason why you wish to relocate the message forum, I do not see why you would bother to do such a thing. My two bits for what it may be worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_goldfarb Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Looks like it's off to a good start. Thanks for all your labor and effort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin carron Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 The change to 'contribute an answer' so that you get to see all the responses as well as the question will be IMO very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_jiri_loun Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 Good point, Colin. That feature is being missed a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
