Hello From the new Bartender

[SolaresLarrave]

Thanks for the timely note, Stephen. And I'm glad it was you who took over ownership! 🙂 And seeing that things will likely remain the same is reassuring. Again, thanks for your note.

Now, I have a nice beer waiting for me at home. 😉 To you and to RFF!

 

[KoNickon]

OK, Stephen -- looking forward to it! And thanks again to Jorge and the moderators.

Glad to have you as our Head Bartender, Stephen!
I was only half kidding about getting Mr. K's ear in the other thread...

Soon a new sponsor will be added, Tom Abrahamsson’s Rapidwinder.com – producer of the Leica Rapidwinders and Soft Releases. He is working now on the design of a RFF Soft Release for Leica M’s.

What an excellent idea! Umm, not only for Leica M cameras, I hope?

joe, probably the thing to have done about a raise would have been to use the proposed "ALL jOE, ALL YEAR, ALL BARE," calendar as a threat/bargaining chip...😀

1 Hiya, and it seems like a good move.

2 Can I stop seeing messages like this: "Safari could not open the page “http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/index.php” because the server stopped responding."?

3 Can you have a good web designer clean up the user interface?

Bartender, one Bourbon, one Scotch, and one beer!

Whenever I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself. 🙂

Seriously, Steve, thanks for continuing the tradition of this fine system. 🙂

Since we are airing laundry.......This is not directed at the new bartender (maybe the barmaids?🙂 ) but when I click on a thread title it will often take me to the last post. While clicking on what typically sends one to the last post I end up somewhere else. Not a big deal.

>>3 Can you have a good web designer clean up the user interface?<<

What's wrong with the user interface? This is one of the better discussion sites I've visited. I know at a glance the topics being discussed, I can easily find specific forums (except the buried Nikon Forum), threads I've been following are highlighted. The dark gray is very easy on my eyes.

Stephen, welcome in the new role here!

Whaa???? It's fuscia on my monitor! Do I need calibration? 😀

 

[sirius]

Thanks for supporting this great place, Stephen. It is exciting to have someone with your depth of knowledge about RF cameras more involved here. Judging from the writing on your website, I like that you are opinionated as well. It keeps things interesting. I'm happy to hear that RFF is doing well.

I, too, like the user interface. Leave it as it is. But I also agree that the behavior when opening threads is inconsistent. Sometimes it takes me to the first post. Sometimes to the last post. Why is that?

Thank God, Earl! I thought it was only me! 😱

No, I just meant tidying up whether it's 'Rangefinderforum.com' or 'RangefinderForum.com' or' RangeFinderForum.com' or'Rangefinder Forum' as currently it varies as you click around the site.

 

[VinceC]

That's a relief, Jon.

 

[zpuskas]

Congratulations to all!

This website is simply too good to get messed up, and I have a feeling that Stephen will do his best to allow RFF to grow bigger and better. I am optimistic about this evolvement.

Thanks for clarification

Thanks for clarification

As a customer of yours and a member here I appreciate your efforts.

Welcome to the new bartender!

Welcome to the new bartender!

I'd just like to say welcome to Stephen as new head bartender and thanks to Jorge and the moderators for such an excellent site. I have learnt almost everything I know about rangerfinder photography from sites such as this one and the CameraQuest site, which is an excellent resource.

I also like the current site design - although I do agree the issue of which page you get when clicking into a thread could be looked at to make it more consistent.

All the best,

Dan
