I subscribe to one of the categories and some topics in order to get e-mail notification of new posts. For me, this is a very handy feature of the site. It would be even better if I could subscribe to a category or topic via RSS feed. Just a thought. I don't know how easy/difficult it would be to implement this, or what others think. Best

When watching TV I usually can more or less tell how the sound of a certain scene was done, be it boomed, lavs or ADR. But from time to time I watch a scene where I have no idea how they could have gotten the sound they did, so I wonder "how did that sound person pull it off?" I remember that probably the thread that I learned the most from on jwsound was the Classic Perspective thread in which (among much more) I think Jeff described how the sound of those long walks in Woody Allen's Manhattan was achieved. So I thought it would be great to have an entire section on jwsoundgroup where people post scenes from an episode or movie they watched which hey're curious ab…

Jeff: I don't seem able to successfully attach an image. I'm trying to upload a JPEG image, 263 KB, of a graph. When I attach and hit "Post" I see a navigation message (bottom line in the Firefox window) about "contacting JW Sound" and then a blank page loads. The whole post becomes lost. Any thoughts? Do I need to avoid any particular characters in the file name? David

With the new forum look, sometimes I have had the issue that instead of the reply field on the bottom of any given thread, I can only select files to upload. This has happened on my ipad and my iphone 4. after reloading the page mostly the issue goes away and I can reply.

Kudos Jeff. I happened to catch this 1979 movie on TV last night and right in the beginning, prominently credits our friend Jeff. Great movie all around and the dialog was crystal clear. I'm curious what was used for mics, recorders, ect. I don't recall any good wireless around then, but I was in the music biz at that time. Do you have any production snapshots you can post?

First the forum colors were blue and marked "IPS" after the "brownout" this morning, now it's dark gray and a bit too large for the screen. Members pictures have gotten much larger also. How do I go back to the "IPS" blue look? Eric

Hi Jeff, for the last few days I've encountered a 404 message when clicking on the Gallery of Carts link on the main forum page. Using a normal computer running Firefox. What's up there? Is it me? Thanks!

I need a couple of short 2 or 4 track DEVA Files that were mirrored using the latest firmware that supports iXML. The files can be 5 to 10 seconds long. I would like to have files that have a Note, & or tracks named in the Deva. I am working on examining all the different meta-data flavors on all the recorders. Howy has not posted any sample files that contain an iXML chunk. ----Courtney

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.

The new section has brought a new usual suspect who just joined and just posted a set of italian reference monitors and a 40 input Yamaha Mixer. I'm not sure this is the change you wanted. http://jwsoundgroup.net/index.php?/user/9339-go-chroma/ Al

Jeff, With your new layout, when I cut and then paste a section from another web site, all of the HTML formatting clutters up the text. Is there any work around established on this -- besides not copying text from other sites? RL

Well that's odd, I looked at the bottom of main page to look at recent topics, and there was one titled Recording a Trio (I think that was the exact title), looks like several people posted replies, but when I look at the thread, it's empty. What happened? Wayne

Why is it that when one posts here (or Gearslutz etc) that my posts appear right away (and I can see and correct my typos), while forums like RAMPS and RAP take a long time to post new messages? What is different about the approaches? Philip Perkins

Hi Jeff What do you think about adding some sub forums that cover certain specifics? ie. "RF", "Recorders", "Microphones", etc. I think it would help with finding information easier and perhaps assist the new folks in finding what they're looking for without being chastised for starting a thread looking for information that's "been discussed many times". Kinda thinking along the lines as AVS Forum ( http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/ ) but maybe not quite as in depth. Anyhow, my $.02 on forum organization for the day.

Hi Jeff, Something has changed for me since the hack. I've got the permanent log on selected but I'm still required to log on each time I come to the forum. After I log on it indicates that I've been logged on permanently but that isn't the case. Curious. Thanks for a great forum. Its good for and efp/eng guy to hear about the film side of things primarily. Regards, Bernie

This is something I've enjoyed in other forums and have wished it were here for years. When I click on a thread with unread replies, it would be great to be taken directly to there, instead of the beginning of the whole thread. I have tendinitis from a computer job in the 90s and my thumbs do not enjoy all the scrolling around at all. This would save so much of that it's silly. In fact I've gone months without logging in because of it. I realize this might be a heap of code and also that online forums are somewhat antiquated so it may not make sense to invest in this. I am not on social media so I will be here to the end, and I would love save all that scroll…
