While looking for a replacement LED lamp, I noticed that there are no photos to compare one's current lamp with a new LED lamp in the LED conversion finder.

They have all burnt out.
That's pretty good. :)

I made a file permission change and was in the wrong directory -- up one from where I thought I was -- so I spent the rest of my evening changing things back. Missed this one!

Hello Phil,
I am trying to upload pictures to sailboat pictures. I fill everything out and when I hit submit a red lettered information note tells me I can only use letters etc. I only use letters, it's my name.
Please help as it is frustrating.

Phil - So I'm not on social media...exceptn for linked in because I was told to...

So when you "follow" a member, is there a place I can go to see all of their recent posts? Is that what that means?
Thanks
Dan

I'm not completely sure, but my guess is that you receive notification when that person posts something. Anybody else have more experience with this feature?

Huh. Well, I may have to actually research this. Meanwhile, I'm going to follow you Meriachee. We'll see if my life changes or I get any notifications or anything.

All it does is make your First Mate ask questions if you follow Princess of the Lake. Seriously.

Phil,
I understand that the little Alerts thing at the top is intended to tell you that there are new posts, but is there an option of leaving it 'on' until you have looked at ALL the new posts that it's alerting? Currently if you go look at any post, the criteria is met and the thing goes to sleep.

Phil,

I've always used Safari on iOS, but I was thinking of switching to Chrome. Only thing is that in Safari when I tap on the title of a thread with unread posts, it opens up to the first unread post. Unfortunately in Chrome it opens the last page, but at the top of the page rather than the first new. Is there anything you can see on the side that is making the Chrome behavior different, or is it just something Chrome on iOS is doing differently that I'd be stuck with?

Possibly never mind this. I just saw that there's a Chrome update dated today that has fixes for issues like this listed in the release notes. I'll report back after I update and try a couple more unread threads.

Yep, the Chrome update seems to have fixed it. Way to go Phil, getting Google to fix the problem even before it was found.:biggrin:
