Thank you so much MrsLubner.
The informality of the forum is excellent to say the least but simply to place a couple of extra pages into the site script take's nothing more than a couple of minute's.
Renderosity i would guess is almost unique in not having to decide what heading to put a thread under.
If i required help in adjusting my white balance for example i would have to browse all the post's to see if any information was available.
If i were to look under a heading for example named Camera setting's then in all probability i should find it there quicker since this is where the information should be found.
Wall's cannot be built without foundation's being laid.
Many people are avoiding saying what they feel for reasons unknown to myself.
Possibly feeling the wrath of Renderosity and all it's might is keeping them quiet.
It would be interesting to know how many people involved in photography have actually put forward ideas to Renderosity whereby their idea has been nurtured and turned into reality.
It is actually only small silly thing's that are driving people away-And one of those small silly thing's is the fact that Renderosity is not listening to the user's wishes.
Renderosity make's very little revenue from photography at this time and i truly hope that eventually they can.
So to offer a seperate - for example - photography art chart would cost them nothing extra but would keep many many people happy and contented.
Ilona-Krijgsman i noted is being as truthful as other's are.
Although some of our opinions differ greatly i accept her opinions as her own and valid,Yet she is clearly stating reasons why she does not post, as again other's are also doing.
But apart from being part of a discussion nothing will be done about her reasons for leaving.(She has great image's by the way)
In all probabilty her departure is regarded as no loss since she did not generate revenue.
Renderosity does not make the forum's.
The user's do, which is why the forum is struggling.
Renderosity is trying to run it without the user's and the user's have given the forum the thumb's down and let them get on with it.
There is no magic answer's but there are simple answer's.
The first being Renderosity should listen.
Hopefully the forum will survive but at this time i really do not see light at the end of the tunnel.
