As I've pointed out to you before Gareth, you have been discussing it.

Unfortunately very few people have stated an opinion and some who have are of a contarary opinion to your own. Some also agree with you.

Listening to everyone is a necessary part of things.

It's been a while since anyone added anything to this and it's a shame that only a handful of members have posted any ideas.

Without just repeating the ideas already made, are there any other suggestions?

Thank you Chris, as I said the two things were not connected.

Nothing at all to do with it ISO, and the reasoning is exactly what I've just said.

I would point out that as the thread is here nobody has been denied anything. If the thread wasn't here we would have been denied something.

The "ruling" as you put it is a guideline from the Moderators because not all members agree with these postings and we have to take everyone into account.

I know it's always tempting to think there's a behind the scenes conspiracy, but I have to say that there isn't. Just take it at face value and you have the whole of it.

This section is for Classified Ads and it isn't a Classified Ad, it's as simple as that. I'll move it to General Chat, but please bear it in mind.

We could end up with the forum cluttered with obsolete randomly noticed links to all sorts of things and that wouldn't really be helpful.

Some members also object to their potential bargains being spotted and ruined, particularly with links to eBay.

There are many different points of view to balance.

You don't. Repair house job if needed, but it's doubtful that it will be needed.

I've never kept any digital camera long enough for it to be a problem. Always upgrading, although this process has slowwede down since we bought the K20D bodies.

Please don't put commercial links in Classified Ads, this area id for private sales/wants from members.

No idea, but when I'm there I will look, weigh it up and select the appropriate lens from the bag. If I don't own a suitable lens, then calculating what I might have needed won't help. Noticing possible viewpoints, maybe from adjacent terrain or buildings, will.

SD cards are "non-volatile" memory, so they don't lose their information, but then everyone who has several cards knows this.

However, if left for a very long time the information can become corrupted and unreadable, so they are not suitable for archival storage. I would imagine that a "very long time" means months and years, but I've never seen it defined.

Duplicated thread has been removed, please update this one.
