large format photography forum

[BrianShaw]

Good idea, but I'm not sure my wife would be keen!

Size it right and it could be disguised as a caffinol processing tank! Matt on one side; John on the other.

It is running on donated hosting. The tech guys will be on holiday until the new year starts. Except for the on call staff ($$).

It would be great if they could use free Letsencrypt certificates using an automated process. These certs are valid for only three months. But a script job could renew it, automatically, every two months.

Posts added recently to older threads moved into this one, and the older threads have been closed.
Do you think I should get a "Matt the Moderator" T-Shirt?

How about a Matt the Moderator coffee cup?

Good idea, but I'm not sure my wife would be keen!

I suggest matching shirt and mugs:

Matt the Moderator
I am never wrong, just
ask my wife!​

Even easier, is put Cloudflare in front of it. Cloudflare proxies and provides the cert for free.

Sounds like an alt process job... it may be simpler to settle for giclée stickers

OK Thanks ALL

Is the Large format photography forum still running? I'm a fellow 11x14 Deardorff guy, aka Duolab123.

 

[Roger Thoms]

Still running, just a little harder to get into. They are working on renewing their certificate. Right now I am able to access the site with my iPad in private mode.

I wish they'd hurry up and get it back on-line. I need a fix.

I'd have thought if the owners considered it valuable there would be more than one person with access. Seems a fairly simple concept: 'hit by a bus' insurance.
All that aside -- what doesn't Photrio Large Format fail to provide? Certainly you can discuss center filters, loading film holders, diluting developers elsewhere.
Maybe the buy/sell forum. That can't be seen by outsiders

Photrio isn’t enough for you. Sad. LOL.

 

[David Lindquist]

Just now found it's back on my iMac with Safari, "High Sierra" operating system, the most recent one my aging iMac can use.

Ditto with me... but not with a Mac...

LF Forum is about long time social connections as anything. I've been on it for over a decade. There are a number of people on it that love 19th C. lenses like I do.

+1 its more specialised in large format camera's and everything that goes with it - especially if you like to go or are more into the 19th century stuff as well - much more specific broken down forum topics
Here on Photrio my experience is that there is only a relatively small community interested in those topics

 

[sasah zib]

I'd estimate quite a large overlap of members.
about 30 in this thread checking on the LFF fate.
while the LFF was down, open only to bots and those who could use incognito, there were a handful of people even though viewcounts ran 70 and up.
perhaps you folks have had better experiences because they were smaller, more visible ones.
anyhow, none of that is meant to persuade nor dissuade you from anyplace or everyplace. inertia and path dependency make the casual the usual.

[and I'm out. glad your group has regained footprint on the net]

 

[Ulophot]

It's back up as of yesterday.

 

[MattKing]

As it (LFPF) is back up, I'll close this thread!
