Is it really that difficult to get a website that is a little more user friendly?

[ageless]

Why do I have to work for thirty minutes to figure out how to upload pictures on this forum?

I still can't get them to post anyway but upside down

I post 20 photos a day on the morning funny with no issues. I put them on with my iPhone and iPad. Are you using a laptop?

 

[Pascal]

Click manage attachments, select file and upload... nothing to figure out

Usually if the upload fails it s because the file is too large. People don’t realize that picture files have become huge and must be resized before uploading. This is not an issue with this forum...

I have resized all my photos and every one posts upside down. Even if I make the original upside down and upload it, it's STILL upside down

Maybe the version of wordpress is old. I cannot open anyone's photos on chromebook or android anymore.

I normally don't upload images to here. Instead I upload them to imgur.com and link them from there. Just copy the BB code on the picture and post it here. You can also rotate images on imgur.

good points. Thanks everyone. I'm going to just use google pic host but........REALLY? 2019??

I am guessing you haven’t tried to use the search function yet...... The clunkiness and inaccurate results is my pet peeve here: you practically need to know the answer before you search!

Considering what we pay for the service, I don’t think we should complain ...

Ditto Pascal.

We are very fortunate that Sam's provides and maintains this site. I've saved thousands of dollars from free and accurate advice received here. I also just enjoy spending a few minutes a day reading about what other weird people who own antique boats are doing. When I sold my last Hatteras the buyer was familiar with the brand, boat and my use and maintenance history by reading posts here.

So please keep rewarding the guys at Sam's with your purchasing dollars. It's a great investment.

Let's just imagine my thoughts were directed more at the membership and our ability/willingness to provide oh, say $25/yr? $50/yr to Sams (it works for boatdiesel.com) to help bring it up to standards, maintain, and possibly upgrade. Is there a way to pitch this to them and the membership?

Many would not pay. I think it works best to be free to get the most participation. Sam's benefits from getting traffic. I'm sure this free service gets the most people to learn about Sams and increases orders. You just have to learn how to use the site. It works fine.

I think boatdiesel has the same picture size restrictions. Of all the forums I use, only one has the capability of automatically resizing pictures. It s runs day hosted by volunteers some of them programmers.

Resizing pictures isn’t rocket science and easy to do whether on a phone, tablet or PC

I didn't mention any resizing issues, at least I don't think resizing will invert them right side up.

Agreed, nothing wrong with wishin

During my 1.5 hour chat with Scott he says I "should discuss charging systems" with you

Not many options for 32v anymore. The old Sentry and LeMarch or the smart charger from Analytic, or an Outback Charger/inverter.

Feel free to send me a PM with your phone number.

I take pics with my iPhone. They will post upside down from the phone to the site. So, I send my pics to my laptop, open them and spin them 360 and close. From then on, they post in correct orientation.

This may not be the most up to date site, but neither are our boats and neither am I. I would suggest taking your complaints to Sams via a call or email as opposed to open posting. All I can say is Sam's has got to be the most patient and forgiving folks ever for what I've seen posted over the years (not singling anyone out). And I really appreciate them!

Complaints about the site are meant for this section, why keep them a secret so Sam's knows the extent of the dysfunction. No need to judge my intention or demeanor

.Robert, I take pics on I-pad or I phone also and I don’t mean this to sound like a smartAss remark but I just take my pictures for the site with the phone or iPad upside down, works perf every time. John
