The ships I have a responsibility for are having some unusual issues lately

You probably can't tell us, but is it the Zumwalt? ;)

Safe travels! :)

The customer is ALWAYS right.

They can be a lot of other things sometimes - pig ignorant, awkward, demanding, cynical and or mean.

But they are ALWAYS right. ;)

Every time I hear that line reminds me of this post:

I've been doing these new shared albums in Google Photos. How do you all feel about this? It lets me add to them as I go and you can get notified of new stuff I think as well.

IMHO it's good for your customers: nice, high resolution photos, documenting the issue and the repair process, etc.  But not so good for people in forums - for example if cloud-hosting photo providers are blocked on their end, and also - will the pictures still be available in five years time?  I'm sure everyone here has seen a thread where all the pictures are gone because someone hosted them on an old Photobucket account, or whatnot, that's long since defunct (pretty common on Amibay, I've noticed).

Again, just IMHO, I'd upload a few photos directly to the forum, as well.  so that if something ever happens to your shared album the forum pictures will still be available.

That's assuming the forum doesn't go through another big data loss like it did in what... 2003?  :lol:  Oh well, nothing's safe on the Internet, great photos, I'll stop ranting now!  :)

Exactly... every time this "said" Amiga Facebook  page is referenced, there's never a link and I can never seem to find  "The One" because there are just too damn many Amiga Facebook pages! :lol:

I assume they mean the one with 15,000 members.  Look for it, you'll find it.  :lol:

Edit - the only downside to it is, unlike a forum, posts tend to get buried and forgotten pretty quickly.  And it's not like Facebook has search tools to help you find "where was that thread that had such-and-such an answer from two years ago", you know?  :(

Edit again - it's up to 17,972 members now. :D

Hope to get caught up here soon. I got quite a bit done this evening!

How soon before you can quit your day job and just repair Amiga's full-time?  :D
