Sorry Anton, but everybody seems work properly on FMF, so probably the problems are on your side. In fact I'm not sure which is your problem exactly. I suggest to you try to know better the Forum and how it works and wait until then to download more photos.

Of course I already checked your account and everything seems to be OK there, so honestly I have not answers to your requests.

Sincerely, we can't do much more. If some other FMFer get similar problems as yours then we can try to investigate them, otherwise, sorry, but we can't help you.

Hi Anton,

when you log in make sure you tick the box underneath that says ' log me in automatically on each visit '. It should make things easier for you - it sure confused me when I started on the Forum !
I also had problems uploading photographs at first, until I tried using a more modern computer with modern (recent) upgraded browsers. What a difference that made !!
Keep on trying, it will work eventually. Hope this has been of some use to you.
Regards,
Mike

Hi Anton

You are not alone. Sometimes I have to log in several times before my submissions go through, even after clicking 'log me in automatically on each visit' . Because this happens to me on some other forums too, I don't think it is FMF's fault, but probably to do with my security settings, which I don't want to change. What I do is copy anything I have written, highlighting it and using control C, in case the submission goes awry. In that case, once I have logged in again, I can just paste it , using control V. It is a bit clumsy, but it works.

Well may pc is 6 months old. But I have spoken wiht 2 ather persons on facebook from South Africa. And they have told me to not wast may time the Mineral Forum sever throu you out every time when you tri to lock in from South Africa. But im on 7 ather forums and it working on the same prinsepil as this one and I don't have a problem there to lock in. It looks to me like i wil have to go and look for a anther forum for minerals.

And samthing els. I have to changs every time may Country it keeps shanging it to the USA.

[Mike Wood]

If it's any consolation, I think your specimens and photo's are very good. I'm sure we would all like to see some more.
Thanks, Mike

Hi

I have tride 3 difrint computers a P4 intell desktop, laptop and a brand nuwe develupers laptop brand nuwe inported from the USA last week. And i have also tride 3 diffrint internet surge ingens internet explorer, chrome and firefox's. All of them give the same inlock problems and the same problems when you tri to up lode photos. I have also asked the IT departmint where i work to monitor the computer at work when i lock in on the forum and the feed back i got from them is there is no problems on may side every thing runs the way it must run. There is problems on the forums siver side. They have also tested the internet connection at work and i have also tested the internet connection from home and it is working correctly. What now

I just whant to let you now about this. I have to put this up here becous i can not pm eney one on the forum or send eney one a mail about it.

Im on an nather forum that runs the same setup foor there forum like here and there is pupil from al ofer the worlde on that forum and now problem with the inlock or loding fotos on there frorum from this side. The ather formus im on is not mineral forums so i will not put the names here becous it is then atverismint for them.

So i do not now if same one is going to do eney thing about this becous the feed back i got from the forum is that there is no problems on the forum and that they are happy the way the forum is running and that the problem is on may side. But i can not find the problem on may side.

Anton,

Every time you create a new thread for the same thing. I already joined (again) your new thread with this thread you created before...

You can't use PM currently because every new user has 10 waiting days until PM can be used as it is explained here -> https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?p=8055#8055 and as you should notice every time you try to send a PM.
You started on FMF the 17 May so today is your last day without PM

We wasted over one hour checking all our systems just to be sure everything works properly and everything is working well in FMF. Sorry for the inconveniences you have but us (and other people) we tried to do our best for you and as it seems doesn't work it don't make sense discuss about it again.

FMF is not a Forum for one single person, is a worldwide Forum, so if for some reason some one can't use it, sorry but we can't do nothing else.
