• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

There was an issue expressed in a thread whereby a member could not upload a video file as an attachment to a post. Although this site does not have the facility to play those video (and audio) formats natively, I have enabled the uploading of the most popular formats so they can at least be stored on my server for safe keeping and downloaded by interested members to view on their own PCs or mobile devices using their own utility programs.

If anyone has a file format not included or runs into any other snag uploading a file as an attachment, please contact me and I will review the possibility of adding that format to the list as well. Please provide the file size so I can determine the feasibility of what you are requesting.
 
I tried to upload an mp3 of the youtube video as a workaround in that recent thread, but that format wasn't allowed - I then tried converting to wav, but wav format was too large to upload. Thanks for fixing this so proactively!

There are always going to have to be file size limits, simply because my server does not have infinite disk space available. But if anyone has something that they can present a convincing case for increasing the limits, then I will see what I can do.
