    Hi,

    Ah. That kind of book. P

    I was thinking about it referring to opening an electronic book which is a part of that site. As if something about that has become broken as of late. ;)

    I don't pay any attention to the reviews or other content they generate. I used to follow a greater number of forums, but that is down to only two now. So, I thought I had missed something gone wrong.

    deleted my entire account and history 5 weeks ago, same garbage year after year.

    I'm still there, infesting just the Tech and the Sigma Fora, neither of which see much traffic here.

    i find the tech forum very controled now as well, theres a new guy posting thats pushing everyones knowledge limit atm. but its just the same old same old, after buying the x100vi its made me realise that tech has hit a wall and enjoying the fun factor, image content without having a sterile look to images. the lens and sensor from the x100vi are first class and im loving the optical vf. the af system is right up there with sony as well, but it should be its a sony sensor 😊

    Date for what?

    The magic date,
    The one where the Shiny New DPR Phoenix emerges from the smouldering ruins and fixes Everything.
    www.dpreview.com/site-news/7480142560/the-countdown-begins-dpreview-s-new-website-goes-live-next-week
    There's a whole lot of "Just you wait and see" getting thrown around, but without threaded Forums included, expectations are low. I wish them well, but they chose to ignore their Users, so where it all ends up is anyone's guess.
    I note with interest that Gear Patrol is now a "sister site", two's a crowd ?

    The site revamp is supposed to take another week. I had not seen the revamped site.

    The revamped DPR is now live, 9 July.

    Well done. Alone, I built this big barn (English post-and-beam style) when I was about your age ...

    I posted a comment in DPReview which was critical of the upgrade workflow. I thouight my post was sensible, but it was deleted and I was not informed.

    I am not impressed by the censoring policy.

    Probably 'cause you said that their upgrade workflow was "equivalent to..." 😂

    I pointed out that changing the production server without testing it out on a development environment was probably not a good thing.

    quite right!
    in our company we had 3, which is probably a standard in the industry :
    -a production system,
    -a development system for the programmers,
    -and between these two systems there's a quality testing system for "extended business user" testing.

    We considered this to be a business critical system and so it just had to work .
    Putting changes directly into the production system was unthinkable.

    Hi,

    Ah, yes. No talking about what they do over there, over there. At least, nothing beyond saying how much you like whatever it is. ;)
