Well done Eddy. You've obviously burnt a lot of midnight oil - or supped a few ales! Everything working fine here now that I've cleared the cache and updated the link in 'my favourites'.

Hi PD's & welcome to our new electronic 'HOST'  :rant - only joking Eddy    :music , but when I logged onto the Photo Gallery today......this is what I saw :?:
 
Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/photopost/languages/english.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/tmp:/usr/share/pear:/home/fhlinux181/p/paddleducks.co.uk/user) in /home/fhlinux181/p/paddleducks.co.uk/user/htdocs/photopost/pp-inc.php on line 131

So not being really  :computer literate I reflected & remembered a few years back  a :post by PJ, when he asked what sort of response would be fourth/forth/[4th] coming from the Vegamite splattered keyboard  :computer [south of that horizontal line around the fat part of our GLOBE]

>>>>> from memory, "an open_basedir restriction" is also an oriface    :nah - couldn't resist it<<<<<

& Shock+Horror   awaits us all  :roll: in the next rendition/edition/revision  of "Steam for Nuts" by courtesy of our AFC from that funny funny funny     Scotland & the not so brave - Derek

I did say that the photogallery wasn't working yet guys - It will return, but it all takes time....

Hi PD's - Eddy, I think that the facility of viewing our PD messages off line may have fallen OFF line    this evening - Derek

It does seem to be a little quirky at the moment Derek... Lets hope it settles down in time, if not there's no other software I can use to replace it, so it may have to go.... That's not what I'd like, but we'll just see how it goes first.

[Eddy Matthews]

Damn damn damn!  :sob

I've eventually found the reason that I couldn't get the photo gallery to work - Our new host doesn't allow one of the calls it makes to execute external programs because of security reasons, so now we're stuck with a gallery we cannot use

For the time being I've installed something that will work, and I'm in the process of uploading all the photos again - But the downside is that we've lost all the user galleries and photo descriptions etc.... You can create a new user gallery and upload your photos as before, but I have no way of being able to restore what we previously had.

I know it's damned annoying, but that's the way things go sometimes... My apologies to all, but I'm doing my best to get things back to normality.

Aaaaaaaw shoot thanks for everything you do for us Ed.     T.J.

Hi PD's & moderators - just one small point to review, when we view the new Links page, your NEW SYSTEM has provided the opportunity for members to vote & offer a rating/scoring :computer [1 to 5] of the linked sites

I looked @ Model Steam Engines (UK) which had a hit of 1 and a score of 2

So without being too  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted: I logged onto the site name list  & entered a value of two    :rant & this input was accepted, being two hits & the average good score of two

Only real problem is >>>>> the Model Steam Engines (UK) site is non functional & has been so for the past year or so

So   , :nose  :hmmm  :hmph

My vote is best we  try  :bow & to understand how to minimise fraudulent mathematics    within our own WEBSITE to start with - Derek

Hi PD's - I am not sure it the moderators met  :gather & had a or TWO...., but the newer  :computer  facilities via 'php group'  are pretty  ....good.... Derek

I'm afraid you've lost me totally Derek - What new facilities??? Apart from the forum stats, we haven't added anything new recently, so I'm confused - Hey it doesn't take a lot to confuse me!

[derekwarner_decoy]

Hi PD's ..... Eddy asked last week

I'm afraid you've lost me totally Derek - What new facilities???

Well I just meant the VIDEO section installed on 23/12/06 [it's called ESP]  :lol:

So thanks also to Bob Golder for the VIDEO clips of PS Waverley...but as usual I am a little  : .... in the 280 MB of the engine room, we see the Engineer at his engine console obeying the engine commands   from bridge telegraph.......to the rear of the console [toward the engine] we see a thin [1/2"diameter] vertical shaft [6 1/2'high] & moving up & down with each revolution of the engine.... what is this control rod do  :?:

The other supprising item of note is that the engine speed seems to build up to approx 45 RPM which is higher than I imagined

Apart from that  :kewl  & :post video's Bob......Oh & BTW, I think I saw Sandy & his ACS crew with their cup of tea &   VEGEMITE sandwich on the shore line in one video  :music  

regards Derek

[AlistairD]

The rod coming upwards is linked to a  rev counter. As far as I remember this is a comparatively recent  addition
