Ed, Q-Tuan of the LF format has a similar post and has received numerous answers, some offering an alternative hosting to photo.net. This would be another server with ACS installed. Perhaps you and he could get together (if you haven't already) and find a common solution to the problem for my three favorite forums (LF B&W film and B&W printing). I, personally, would like to retain the user-freindly, speedy interface we currently have, as well as the archives (though a search function would certainly be helpful), WITHOUT having to log on/register/fill out forms/get tons of banner ads/pop-up windows, etc. Regards,(posted 8330 days ago)
