Well, to quote the infamous words of Dr Winston O'Boogie, as I often do, "You should have been there." But thanks for your comment in the lamppost contest anyway.
I'm glad to see that they reinstated comment paging.
As expected, they did close down the drib account, which I guess means that all your fabulous comments and messages are lost forever. Pity.
I just came by to see what was new, enjoyed looking at your photos. My work these day are mostly for photo illustrations for books, CD Covers, card art.
Thanks for visiting; and you are right it is a photographers paradise and you can learn all there is to know about photography there. In fact if you lived 1000 years you still wouldn't run out of something to photograph.
The Zulu place is just that; the spears are real but the shields look like they have been added later; they have a gorgeous window to the right but unfortunately there was a schools treasure hunt on the last time I visited and it wasn't possible to get near enough.
"The option to delete comments is now back. We are really sorry for temporary inconvenience caused by this issue and would like to thank you for providing your valuable feedback."
...recognized the feature to be back quite some time ago but could not inform you because I had a meeting out of office ... funny, I did not receive any msg from fotki so far :-(((
Hi Peter, thanks your support ... just check on your possibilities re received comments on pics in your albums and - if need be - also write to fotki
=========
No I can't delete them either, like you I can delete guestbook messages, but not comments. I have already sent them a message requesting the delete button be returned. I don't mind the new reply button, but like you I believe we must be allowed to control how our own site appears to visitors.
illegal and not wanted commenting @ my site, i.e. my albums
Hi fotki team,
just saw that I have no possibility any longer to delete a comment - as I could up to yesterday resp. still can with any note in my guest book - within my site if I do not like it for whatever reason.
Differently to the contests I understood so far that my site is mine and private and that I can select people I like to have contact with.
Therefore, I kindly ask you to IMMEDIATELY RETURN the former [DELETE] BUTTOM to be able to do so. Not needed is the former [edit] bottom for others comment.
May I add that in removing this delete bottom you are opening all doors for all kinds of "DIRTY" and PORNOGRAPHIC placements which will stay on my site until you may have deleted it and consequently will seen by JUNIORS as well as KIDS.
Best regards, joachim ...
nb: I shall forward a CC of this mail to my friends for their acknowledgement --- Hi mate, your full support in that would be greatly appreciated ;-)) joachim
My neice sent this to me,thought that it was so so funny.....This one is for everyone who... a) has kids b) had kids c) was a kid d) knows a kid e) is going to have kids. I guess that means all of us!!
DADDY'S GONNA EAT YOUR FINGERS
I was packing for my business trip and my three year old daughter was having a wonderful time playing on the bed. At one point she said, 'Daddy, look at this', and stuck out two of her fingers.
Trying to keep her entertained, I reached out and stuck her tiny fingers in my mouth and said, 'Daddy's gonna eat your fingers,' pretending to eat them.
I went back to packing, looked up again and my daughter was standing on the bed staring at her fingers with a devastated look on her face.
Hi Peter, No, I cannot reply cannot leave messages in the forum and it seems that I am not logged in not even when my name and avatar shows! So....after 10 days of being told that it was solved I am fed up with it. What can I do ...paid till 2014 ....start begging maybe? I, like many others, Use Internet Explorer and I am not going to change that just because Fotki cannot solve the problems with that browser! That is so stupid...we are not a minority! Viviane

Yeah it does look like it's an Internet Explorer issue. I have both installed on my PC due to a crash I had a while back and IE just wouldn't work, so I installed Firefox and I've been using it since then. I just tried using IE which I've fixed, and what do you know, no commenting !! I'm glad you're paid up until 2014, because I sure don't want to lose you too. I hope they get it sorted out, like you say there's a heck of a lot of people using IE.
Hi Peter, Great pictures! I believe there is no corner left in Australia where you haven't been - all these rural or urban pictures, people, places, nature, buildings, history - just GREAT! Thank you! Regards, Peeter
