Hi Jeff, I've been experiencing a strange phenomenon with photos when I upload them into posts... they all come in upside-down. They sit on my desktop and in iPhoto properly oriented, but lately, every photo I've tried to upload will initially come in upside-down. I rotate it on my desktop, re-import it, and it's upside-down again... I then rotate it back to its original position, re-import again, and it's fine... I can't seem to figure out any kind of rhyme or reason to it except that there is possibly some kind of embedded metadata that makes the upload engine re-orient the photo based on what it thinks is the top? Any ideas? ~tom taylor

Since upgrading to the new software and/or look, I've been unable to find a button or link that will take me to the 'Last Unread' post in a particular thread on the 'Unread Content' section of the forum. Am I going mad, or is it missing??? Regards John

Hi Jeff, I was just wondering if you could point me in the right direction regarding personal video monitor rigs for boom ops... I just ran into a recent contribution of yours on one of the other forums after a key word search on the subject. I figured if anyone would know... you or maybe Scott Farr... Thanks : ) -- Tom Taylor tom@taylormadeaudio.com

After having surveyed the site for a few days I must admit I like the old style better. This lack of color, the gray look, is kind of boring. I know it's the content that's important but the old appearance was way more welcoming...warmer. IMO Mick

Hey Jeff--help me out here. I suddenly have to log in each time I visit here, in spite of checking off "keep me logged in". This never used to happen--from my office computer I could always be logged in already. Did I change something inadvertently? phil p

Mr. Wexler, A discussion on uninterested third parties leaving comments on posts for sale might be warranted. Other sites do have rules regarding this. http://www.dvxuser.c...-Before-Posting A comment such as "That's a bit pricey" or "such technology is dated" does have the effect of handicapping, or killing a sale thread. These comments I suspect, come innocently intended, from seasoned union pros regarding pieces of kit intended for novices. While knowlege is always helpful and appreciated, the question is: Who is entitled to kill a sale on JWSound? Scott

Every couple of times I try to click on google link for jwsound when I am not on my computer that has it saved as a favorite I get redirected to an ininityads page - this has happened from more that one PC so pretty sure it is not me- just an FYI that maybe something is hacked/semi-hacked with the site.

Hi Jeff, Thank you so much for hosting such a wonderful collection of interesting topics and group discussions on so many different topics, I enjoy reading and learning about so many different things each time I visit the site. I agree with ,and admire,your extremely "open door" policy of welcoming all who would like to join the conversation, but would it be possible to allow us the option of an ignore button for individual posters? I find a very select few posters deter from the threads on a regular basis and I would like to not see these posts. I have seen and used this option in other groups but I am not sure if it is an option here. Thanks again! Ch…

Hey Jeff, just wanted to let you know: In the last couple days when clicking on a link to the site from a google search, I have been re-directed to some weird "URL4Short.INFO" page with a pop-up thing that says I'm the "millionth visitor" or something like that and "click here" bla bla. Of course I didn't, but makes me wonder if JWS has been hacked?

On a whim, I tried loading up the secure HTTPS version of this site (https://jwsoundgroup.net versus http://jwsoundgroup.net). Before, I usually got an error message since the site doesn’t have HTTPS enabled, but what I get today is something totally unexpected… Tried it in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, with my browser extensions enabled, with my browser extensions disabled, and on my phone using mobile data. Same thing. Is it happening for anyone else? https://jwsoundgroup.net

Dear Jeff, in the last days I frequently get an error message from a service called "CloudFlare" when trying to visit the JWS new content (which I have bookmarked). Unfortunately, it usually doesn't take a few minutes only, but rather a few hours until it works again (I guess until US morning which is late night here in Europe), so maybe there's a real problem with the server. Thought I'd give you a heads up. Sincerely, Pete Here's the last error message I got:

OK, welcome to the new home of this discussion... Although Oleg is in a different country, I suspect some clarification might be in order: Oleg has pretty much the right to say what ever he wants. Note: I say 'pretty much' because there are some reasonable limits on free speech, such as screaming "FIRE" in a crowded place, or libeling folks... The thing is, that that first amendment right does not necessarily exist on JW's forum. Working in radio on "talk stations", folks would also keep claiming their "free speech" rights, but the fact is that on my radio station, I am the only one with complete "freedom of speech" (subject to those reasonable limitations), and if …

Hey Jeff, it looks like you run both of these - I could spend my days swapping between ramps, cinema sound, jwsound, etc but I think one good forum for all sound mixers across the globe is needed. I'd like to email some of my friend sound mixers and tell them to use one to increase its awareness. What would you suggest?

Hi Jeff, Thank you so much for this site, I'm on here every day and am constantly learning new things. I've noticed that two forums (WTB/WTS and Who I Am Today) are only accessible to users who are signed in, and was wondering if you would consider adding a similar forum for discussing rates and negotiating. It would be great to have a way discuss the topic on here in a slightly more private way.
