    It's been 6 days since the last new post to this forum. Is one of the other DPR Forum clones doing better or is it just time to find something else to do?

    I don't think any of the other potential replacements are very busy either. People with occasional questions are still posting at DPR, and frankly there hasn't been a lot of activity at any of the DPR forums I follow (sony cybershot, panasonic small sensor, nikon coolpix) beyond the goodbye threads.

    It's been a long time since there's been a new camera to discuss.

    In the small subsection of the forum that discuses panasonic compact cameras there is little traffic, but DPRevived as a whole gets lost more than any of the other DPR replacements I've seen.
    Opening up to Olympus & Panasonic in general there have been 11 in the last day...

    If you want to boost traffic here you could try asking a question or sharing images.
    I very rarely use compact cameras (I like playing with different lenses) so would be unlikely to view them, but no doubt there are others that more closely share your interests.

    I think that DPR's forums were supported to a large extent by the regular news articles and reviews posted on the site. Standalone forums like this one will struggle without the regular news driving readers to post. I think this forum has probably already hit its peak.

    Maybe therein lies the problem: the difficulty in posting images! It should be easy for a photography forum...

    How is it difficult? Hit the upload button, when you photo is uploaded hit the double frame button, done

    On my phone there's no Upload button. There's an Insert Image menu pick that wants a URL. I don't see any other method for my Android.

    Yeah there is. Tap the 3 stacked dots in the top menu bar, tap upload file button, navigate to your file/photo, once it uploads to the page you'll see another menu, tap the double frame icon, done. Make sure you position the cursor where you want the image in your post before the last step though

    That is a Blue Jay, as is the bird to its left.

    Yes. If we are hoping to replace DPR, such items are necessary: they keep us informed and give members something practical to discuss, rather than the long theoretical discussions that are a feature elsewhere on this site. :)

    Thanks.

    As @Kkardster said, it's a bluejay. I waited and waited but the little rascal never turned toward me so I took what was offered.

    Thank you, Bruce.

    Getting that shot was one of my "gotta get" items when we were in Budapest. I have a thing for night shots.
