Hi Ritch Ditch,

unfortunately, that was a misunderstanding on my part. The other member is using Chrome an a Mac, not Safari. But Chrome on Mac works flawless with this addon.

I'm pretty sure this forum will be my forum of choice coming over from DPReview. I just have 2 issues.

1) It takes a while to scroll through the forum list. I liked where dpreview showed you all the forums on a one-page dropdown - no scrolling necessary to choose one.

2) The lack of exif info on posted photos is an issue. Exify is not a viable option, at least for me. I would like to see the info as you hover over the image as on dpreview.

Otherwise I really like this forum.

I think we are all slowly finding our way round the structure of this forum, I understand some are finding it more difficult than others, but give it time like all new things.

1) I notice you prefer the other forum way where you could scroll through a list. Me on the other hand, I found that here with the 'What's new' I was interacting with sub-forums I would otherwise not go in on the other forum. Big plus for me.

2) I don't know if the forum is going to have an in-house 'exif info hover' but I'm sure they are aware of the need.

Glad to be aboard myself.

Thanks for your reply.

For 99.9% of the time on DPReview I only ever visited 3 Nikon forums, and the Nature and Wildlife forum. Now I have to scroll down through about 3 pages for the Nikon ones and 8 pages for the Nature one. I mean it's hardly the end of the world, but I'd like to get there faster. Of course, maybe - like you - I should broaden my horizons.

As for exify, well yes it works but if I load it as a browser extension then the exif data shows for every other image on every other browser tab. It's not what I need or want. To have a digital photography forum not elegantly show metadata is a significant negative.

Okay, to see just the forums I'm interested in I can "Watch" them, without sending any notifications to me. When you enter a forum there is a button on the right hand side under the egreen "Post Thread" button that lets you do this.

That way I can select "Watched forums" from the Forums drop-down and see just my interests.

So that's my first issue taken care of.

Not sure I understand you right, but it would be good to be able to collapse some sub-furums so you could scroll down quicker to the forums you like (phpbb does it). Just teething problems I guess at the moment, dirk is willing to work with us all to get the community working as a whole.

What I meant was that if I click on the "Forums" item in the menu bar, I have to scroll down through the list of forum names to find what I want. There are about 20 entries before the first Nikon forum, and about another 30 before I come to the Nature forum. As I said it's not a huge deal but I'd like a faster way. And by "watching" only the forums I'm interested in I can do it. Having set my favourite forums to "Watched" I can hit the little "down triangle" on the Forum menu and just pick "Watched Forums" to get a shortened list of only what I'm interested in.

I hope that makes sense.

As you pointed out the "What's new" control is very useful too.

Yeah it did make sense and glad you are getting it like you like it.

My experience as well. Before this new site I stayed only in a single forum. But the What's New option has taken me into other forums and that is enjoyable.

Thanks for pointing out the Watched Forum feature which I had not noticed. I've set it up for three forums and will enjoy not having to scroll way down to find my preferred forum.
