There are a number of folk seemingly missing in action whose posts I used to enjoy, finding them informative and stimulating.

Aleander, Stephen Diamond, Graham, are a few names that come to mind. I am sure there are others.

I miss you guys.

Hope all is well with you.

Cheers,

Daly

Hi Daly,

There are a couple of Grahams on this forum, so I may not be the one you’re missing, but I, in any case, am still here and still following the threads.

There are a few reasons why I don’t post more, and this might be a chance to vent them:

1) I can read the threads but cannot post using my preferred browser, Opera. To post I have to log in using a different browser, so I’ll usually only do so if I feel strongly about something.

2) I’ve always felt that this forum is more cliquey than I personally feel comfortable with. Some of my posts have been answered more dismissively than I like, and readers shouldn’t have to spend time trying to find out what unexplained acronyms and terms like “CRIMP” and suchlike mean. Other users have been castigated for posting in the wrong thread, or in the wrong way, which I would prefer not to see, especially as I, for one, have never seen a guide on this site on how to post.

3) I decided I had better things to do in my life than move my data from one program to another as developers lost interest and something different turned up. So I’m sticking with just a few programs which satisfy 90% of my needs at the present time - Whizfolders, Evernote and Flashpaste.

But I do check out all the new versions which other readers post about! So, don’t stop posting! Perhaps soon I’ll be moving my data to yet another set of programs ... :-(

I wasn’t aware that posting didn’t work in Opera - I’ll check into it.

If it helps, Chris, I can log in in Opera but the “Post”, Post Reply” etc. buttons do not appear in Opera.

Chris: correction. In Opera 9 the problem seems to have been resolved. Sorry for leading you up the garden path.

Graham. Again. From Opera this time!
