How about a searchable user database. Say I want to PM (or e-mail) a member, I can look them up......and presto!


Dave

You mean like this?

On the Forum home page, go to the bottom under DDN Stats.  You should see Member List and Member Map.  Choose Memeber List and then View By Letter.   

Don't ya just love finding all the "hidden jewels" on this site!

btw, that feature has been there forever! 

Tio just waits for someone to ask before he tells where it is so it LOOKS like he did you a favor! 



I sure seem to be running away very fast an awful lot this week!!

About the photographers code of conduct.....Who makes the decision of what is a violation, and what are the sanctions? The reason I ask, I am a person who will sit still for a long time to get critters comfortable with my presence. Sometimes, the critter in question becomes so curious about me they will come and interact with me to the point of being VERY personal. I once had an octopus sit on my arm as he explored every inch of me with his tentacles. He even let me stroke him, seeming to enjoy it, flushing a pleasurable blue color. Would someone take a picture of this and have others claim I was "harrassing" the wildlife? He initiated the interaction. I have many such stories.
How about stumbling on a cuttlefish who won't leave a nest area. She will threat display at you even though you are at a distance and are posing no threat. Taking a pic before you leave (hey, you're already there) would have people cry "harrass"?

So explain how and who will operate any decisions?

To improve the board , how about updating the travel area so that you don't have to scroll through all the pacific area to find the one or two posts on PNG? I hate to say it, but more the way that Scubaboard does their travel forum. OUCH!! Don't get mad at the comparison.

One of the reasons the "Code of Conduct" is not done yet is that I feel it is important to not "alienate: anyone in the presentation of the rules.

We have the input, and it is just a matter of me "playing editor" to present the INFORMATION in a way that is not demeaning, etc.

OK, the other reason it is not done is that i have been swamped, and have not had time to finish it and present it to Tio.


I do think we should clarify one thing.  These are going to be presented as suggestions for the uninformed.  These are not "laws" to be enforced. 

I quite like your examples, as if you want to interact, this is the way to do it. Personally, I love the encounters you describe, and would happily endure them myself.

Then again, there is always the possibility that someone will not agree, and say that we should have swam away...  each to his own.

BTW, the opinions presented above are mine alone and are not necessarily shared by the DDN management and/or its members!

Something that I think would be really useful (and point me in the right direction if it's hiding here somewhere ) is a database of what cameras/lenses/strobes etc people are using. I recognise at the bottom of most posts people have listed what they have, but if i want to check what strobe people are using with a F810 then I have to scroll through and try and find someone with it.

If there was a database where we could input our details and then you could type in F810 and then it would come up with everybody setups who are using that camera then that would be great. I think it would save posts such as 'can I use my D180 with a F810?' or "what macro & WA lenses to use with F810" (both questions I'm wondering about at the moment!!).

I hope that makes sense!

well, we do have it, but the extent of its usefulness is debatable.

On the left side of each post is the users name, status, etc.  If you click on the Member Profile link, it will take you to detailed info on the member.  In this area is an equipment list for said user.

IF the member filled it in, the equipment is listed.

IF it has been updated.  Otherwise the info my be outdated.

Regardless of the method used (we have tried a few), the info is only as good as that supplied by the user anyway, and updates get "forgotten" often.

This actually causes the signature line to be the best methodology, as it is always seen, and therefore updates are more frequent.

Well, the foundation for that is in place.  If you click on the button above to get to your profile, you will notice this button: , which will let you add your rig to the database.  Once you do so, then this will appear to the left of each of your posts.

The problem is getting people to use it. If everybody did, then it would be a no-brainer to build a search utility for it....

What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?

LOL Richard!

Thanks for the replies. I hadn't even noticed that info under the aavaters. A searchable database would be best but I completely agree about getting people to fill in info (esp since I haven't filled in any... )

Tio-

We need one of those little icons next to the saved link, instead of the "e" on a piece of paper with the corner folded down.  You know the little trademark kind of thing that dpreview and others have when you save it as a link, don't know what to call it??  Sure would add to the coolness factor .

Rick

edit:  There called favicon's, and now that I mentioned this mine have disapeared, must be a cookie thing, not cool.

Tio,

Any thought of putting together a list or assessment sheet that someone could use when considering if they're ready for U/W photography and what type of camera and set-up might be best for them to start with?  Maybe useful things to consider before a purchase?  Could something like this be placed in the reference tools section.  Maybe something more experienced folks could work together on for the benefit of beginners?  Just a thought!

Good idea Jeff, but right now my plate is pretty full. With the exception of the strobe finder, past efforts at volunteer committees haven't been very successful.

What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?
