Jeff, Would it be a good idea to have a section where people could talk about their work (challenges, approach to problemss, use of gear, etc.) on shows that are currently in production? There is a site on cinematography that has this kind of section. Contributions come from members of the ASC working on feature films to people making television commercials and music videos to cinematographers working on low-budget shorts. On the site that I am thinking about, stills are often posted to explain lighting setups, etc. The same could be done for sound clips. Any point in doing this for sound? As an aside, given your post about Don Coufall's lecture, could it…

Hello Mr. Wexler, Considering forums, do you know if direct quotes from this forum can be printed without having to seek the request of the writer? This is considering using in a commercial sense. Do magazines like sound & picture for example ever quote subjects and writings from this forum? and is it legal to do so? and what considerations do you know must be taken into account to have it be legal... Thanks much! Tim

Transitioning my work computer to Windows 8, running Internet Explorer 10. I had no problem logging in, unlike reports with IE9. But, I am unable to use the ENTER button to put line feeds in postings (like this one). I have to copy/paste one from somewhere else... Installing Firefox soon anyways. ENTER button is definitely not broken, it works in all other browser forms, just not this forum.

Jeff, Not sure how much effort it might take, but I have been reading about an iphone theme for SMF2.0. If it's possible this would be a great way of accessing the group. Completely understandable if you don't want to mess with the forums on this kind of level. You can read more about it at http://www.farfromperfection.com/smf4iphone.html This specific mod appears to be no longer in development but should work with the current version of the group. this is the SMF discussion on the topic where they discuss and have modified versions of the above mod to continue functioning.

Here's an odd one; in another thread about wireless return with camera hops, I typed the sentence "This year, for the first time, the backups saved my a.s.s "(without the periods). After hitting preview, the sentence came out "This year, for the first time, the backups saved my beauty." I hit preview again, same result. I ended up changing the apparently offending word for "butt". I tried again with this post; a.s.s comes out beauty. Is this some programmer's quirky signature?

I accidentally clicked this and now everything appears as if I've read it. Anyway to undo this, since many threads were already marked as read?

Just spent the last 4 days in and out of reading this forum. Net-net: humbled and grateful. What an amazing resource and community. Stuck for years with the RAMPS-monster, but rarely posting because of the atmosphere there. How refreshing. Cannot begin to say how happy this makes me. Jan

Jeff, Watching "The Family Stone" right now. Did you do any acoustic treatment while on those Interior shots?. Doesn't seem to have a lot of echo in the dialog. Can I also assume this is a Tour De Schoeps mic choice?? Thanks, Mark L

I notice that on threads with large page counts there is a button where you can skip to the last page of the thread. With threads with few pages (2 for the ones I noticed) you don't have this option. In fact, for previously read threads or ones you have participated in, any reason not to go directly to unread content only?

Hi, I´m not sure if this has been mentioned but has someone found a way to post on jws with an ipad? No matter what I try jws won´t allow me to click and type in the text window. The subject field works fine but I can not activate typing mode when I click into the message body field. I´ve also tried to type a message via my regular mac which works fine but when I try the modify that message with my ipad I can´t get into the message body box. BTW: This works just fine on forums based on other software (vbulletin, phpbb etc.). Must be a combined ipad/jws bug. Thanks!

I'm having difficulty scrolling the pages on an iPad. I get a page then a horizontal line and then about a quarter page below the line and that's all. It hasn't always been like that just in the last month or so. Frustrating. Any ideas?

Hi Jeff, I'm not sure if this happens with others here: At JWS, I need to search out anything "BDS". I put in the characters BDS into the JWS General Forum search engine. I get zero results. I then enter the characters "Battery Distribution System" in the same search engine window at the General Forum, and up comes results that defy the result of my original search. I accidentally find that the third post in the search results have the characters BDS in it. Seems to me that third result ~ the one with OP's characters "BDS" (being parseable text in a topic title heading), should turn up in my first search (the "BDS" …

Jeff i have to tell you rigth now that your site is perfect and i love it. Maybe i m going a little over my head, but had to ask, have you ever thought of making a jwsound for people who speak spanish? I m just asking this because maybe we could have a more "localized" section? I know that if each one of us starts asking for you to open a section of our language, you would drive crazy. But cant help to think that more often than not, i feel i know more terms of sound in English than my own language. Also feel i know more sound people from the states than from around South America. Our reality is quite different, and some topics would be more representative. I…

Hi Jeff, I guess you have to manually set your group to standard time. I noticed my post still reflected the "old" time; if there is such a thing? Regards, RL
