Advertisement Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 Hi Guest stnami, Take a look here Too many catagories for the forum. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Rolo Posted March 17, 2007 Share #42 Posted March 17, 2007 Then I translate it back into English for the International forum, sometimes via French, Russian, Malay etc... just so Rolo can understand Imantlish beats the hell out of that language of 2004.. Roblish/ I'm studying Imantish at evening classes, but not making much progress to date. Need t work harder. Maybe, like FORTRAN & Sheakespeare, it'll become clear all of a sudden and the text will be more revealing. Until then, I'll rest on the dark side waiting for the sun rise.

stunsworth Posted March 17, 2007 Share #43 Posted March 17, 2007 If you use Firefox the Foxlingo plug-in will translate the pages for you. Translation between English and German can be difficult to follow because the word order between the two in a sentance is so different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted March 17, 2007 Share #44 Posted March 17, 2007 IMO you are living in a dream world... This is definitely a very different, read unfriendly, place vs. the old Forum for numerous reasons. Can anyone else see the irony in the above two sentences? Rather like Rolo I don't see any great difference in this any the old forum. - remember Phil Kneen (sp) in the old forum? This is a very helpful and well natured place most of the time. As more people join we old timers have a harder job being heard, but that's a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted March 17, 2007 Share #45 Posted March 17, 2007 I personally find the forum a very friendly, engaging, helpful and enjoyable place - but we all have different expectations; perhaps mine are just lower than those of some other members.

stunsworth Posted March 17, 2007 Share #46 Posted March 17, 2007 ...the German Forum does run this site, they are the majority... As I write there are 100 people in the international forum and 60+ in the German. I won't keep posting these messages, I think the point's been made :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John, Suggest you visit the archives at the bottom of the first page. You may find it an eye-opening experience. The "tone" in particular is very different. You may also find the photography better. Judge for yourself. Others have..., and have voted with their feet. Agreed, this place is friendlier than a totally open Forum on the Internet, but it's hardly as genteel as it was. More's the pity.

waterlenz Posted March 17, 2007 Share #49 Posted March 17, 2007 I'm sure It's been said by greater minds than my own, but there are just too many sub-catagories to this forum. The seperation between digital, film and "customer" makes no sense to me...we are all customers. The Film forum is moribund because while there are many film users few are interested in talking ONLY about film. (note the constant mis posting to this forum) Seperating into all these groups seems to be draining the non-digital content of the forum. I think there should be only two catagories (Customer and Collector perhaps?), so that more users participate in a greater variety of threads...digital, film or whatever. Glad I got that off my chest.. Best wishes Dan The trouble with too many categories is having time to browse them. I therefore mainly look at the digital forum and generally only bother to look at (and rarely write to) other forums when the top thread is interesting (such as this one) - my bookmark for LUF is at the top level so I only see 1 thread per forum when I get on, then I go to digital and see one page of threads. I am glad for the German language forum as it provides those with no or very limited English ability a chance to participate and it looks like many do (I occasionally check it out). There may be Leica forums on net in other languages without an international component - ??? Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spylaw4 Posted March 19, 2007 Share #51 Posted March 19, 2007 Agreed, this Forum is very friendly, engaging, helpful & an enjoyable place. Azzo I second that - but I have to say that us non-M8-ers have been getting a bit swamped in the Digital Forum over the last while, alas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
