Suggestion Box

I do not find that to show in other forums that I use. People are generally responsible and respectful of the content.
I know that it is up to the owner. Just stating my opinion.

It’s of course as Ed, and also Tony, pointed out.
Just report the problem, and we will fix it.
If it's a change that don't make the rest of the discussion loose its context, of course (which, as already been pointed out, is one of the main reasons for the editing time limit).
And the odd mis-spelling is hardly a big deal as long as they don't confuse, so surely they can remain in many cases. But if we spot them, we generally correct them. It goes on all the time without you noticing it, especially with titles which we think should be correctly spelled regarding the brand names and models.

 

Re IMAGES COPIED FROM ...

Catalogues & Parts Lists - Subscribers Area
Vintage catalogues & brochures, essential material for the stove historian & researcher. As well as parts info in many of the catalogues, this section also includes dedicated parts info sheets.


For "Suggestion Box": That a notice be added to Subscribers Area along lines of
Please do not copy images from this section and post elsewhere.
---------------------------
Comments:
I KNOW from multiple prev. discussions, mostly private years ago, that membership (incl. Mods / Admin) were divided on the copying of images (or not) from Subscribers area. FWIW imo all parts lists should also be in Subscribers Area. I am just one member.

I myself, PREFER to link to reference/answer with note "...subscription needed" (mindful that for our fantastic ref. site... subscriptions = needed FUNDING to maintain the site, at times barely covers costs / is short).

Homepage, in-general, includes:
Articles & Images are property & copyright of CCS or original contributor. All printed material reproduced with permission where applicable.
It is the aim of this website to provide & share information but
please do not take items or articles from this site for publication elsewhere without permission.

".. for publication"... would this apply to ebay listings?

There has been open criticism when images are used on ebay, for example but no concern (i'm aware of) relocating inhouse/onsite.
YET, once subscriber images are posted in non-subscriber section:
a simple google search (anyone/anytime/anywhere on the planet) and CCS "subscriber reference details" are easily copied... too easy, imo.

I consider reliable ref. content to be the life blood of CCS, "...collectors told, check on CCS", the online resource for stovies.
Without putting any checks at all on this copying, do we have death by 1000 cuts ongoing?
Or am i making something out of nothing?
My suggestion is in bold above.
---------------------------------

As mentioned opinions were divided on this, i DO expect excellent differing points, i share my subscriber concern, is it worthy of discussion ?

Re differing points: IE $9 for 1-time access for 1 detail, for person never heard from again is not w/o it's downside (site HAS BEEN, welcoming & helpful as a rule, maybe even rule #1).
That and same, 1-time, say i link to ref. section, then person does not find the detail they need after subscribing. I've been there, done that on other sites... Seems more common as of late and not a good experience (join/register/subscribe to a site, seeking answer(s), then come up empty ).

Is "1-time access" practical? (or 1 day)

 

It's pretty much up to Ross, I think.

An idea I just had: I often browse the stove reference gallery and thought it would be nice to have an indication by the stoves that have been awarded stove of the month/year. It's fun with the avatar banners, and I do wear mine with gratitude, pleasure and pride, but in the end the winning stoves themselves are more interesting than the owner?

BR/Staffan

 

Now you're going to get a "SugtY" banner as well. "Suggestion of the Year" @Staffan Rönn

Good idea!
Ben

 

+1 with concept.

Stating the obvious.
One can "report" the 1st comment in their own gallery post.
In one's "report"...
an EDIT REQUEST: please insert comment ie "This was voted stove of the year in 2020".

 

Well Said. Agree to that one. "Says my stove".

 

How about a "back to the top" button. I think it would be useful when going through unread posts.
Ivan

 

@IvanN excellent suggestion.
I've mentioned in past, myself, I can't see checking every post / using unread post button
(so not familiar w/that "page up" specifically).
It seemed to me it was more of a admin/mod option?

I noticed "Recent Topics" was added to home page.
Unless I'm missing something???
"Recent Topics" gives members a *3rd similar option to conveniently catch up with what's happening:
> (all) unread posts,
> recent posts (stating the obvious, a click on the bullet point of a thread, that opens to the last unread comment in the thread, for you specifically)
and
> *Recent Topics.
----------------------------

I'm a "PC" user, scrolling up or page up on a pic heavy thread is slow.
Just tossing this out here.
cntrl + home short cut (back to top)

is one of the many common "PC" kybd short cuts that works on PC friendly CCS.

Inline with your request a list of the common keyboard short cuts would be helpful.
^^^^ that request goes out to any computer/site savvy members.

 

@OMC Thanks for the shortcut hint!

 

Doh ! ... my dosshell dinosaur / original windows may have revealed itself there..
If keyboard has you "home" (or end), that works. "cntrl + home" combo still works but cntrl is no longer needed .

I'll get caught up with the 90s yet!

 

We all are trying to enter the 20th century here

 

Just a friendly reminder that we like the Chat Box Feature.

 

We know and appreciate Ross, Christer and others occasionally helping out w/the site.
Soooo much gets corrected, organized, upgraded, improved etc behind the scenes, transparent to users. No doubt at times that can feel like a thankless job.
1. THANK YOU for all you do.

Admin & Mods could be very busy maybe deeply engaged for hours at a time or for hours on end but not open post and membership has no idea. There is no doubt that what all goes on behind the scenes membership does not know the half of it. Best that way, thanks again.

ANYWAY so days like that, maybe Ross finds fun with us?
Admin finishes an upgrade or add-on and starts the clock.
**HOW LONG will it take users to notice this option ... ?

Blah blah blah I know i made a short story long.
Above i requested "... a list of the common keyboard short cuts would be helpful.
^^^^ that request goes out to any computer/site savvy members."

Although I am familiar w/similar search breadcrumb function, i doubt this is just new look/format.
So have a laugh on me, I just now noticed this:


** i just found it ... wait for it... i dropped the keyboard and there it was .
SO to access it just keep dropping your keyboard or device until it pops up hehehe.
I wonder how long it's been 1 click away?
"Wow, who knew...!"
no really, who knew? (what click opens it. I do, now)

 

Hi Ross, in the Trading Post there is no Free prefix had to use For Sale "free to good home" .

 

Given a current topic concerning the lounge https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/why-im-cancelling-my-membership.47641/

Would it be an option to add a feature that visibility of the lounge and it’s content can be blocked for paying subscribers, by the user itself? So the lounge as a section as a whole, but also in the feeds of new and unread messages?

 

This is on the feature list for CCSv5 due in 2022

Done

Under consideration for CCSv5

 

I don’t support having a function that further “isolates” the Lounge.

One of the features of CCS, and more so CPL, is the fact that uncivil conversation, personal attack, propaganda, and far worse, is usually absent from CCS discussion. It is usually called out and moderated if it appears.

The behaviour of Members, in the main, is what keeps CCS and CPL the very best of the specialist sites and allows the site to continue to teach and be an extremely valuable research facility.

Isolating Member comment further will open the door to the fringe attitude of “well if you don’t like it, turn it off”.

I have a fair bit if sympathy for the Member that recently left CCS. The extreme comments posted (now deleted) were directed and attacking.

It would be very unfortunate if a small number of Members insisting on the false proposition that they have a “right” to say what they want, regardless of its truth or justification, made CCS a place others were not prepared to engage with.
