  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) I am very tempted to change the subject line of this branch of the discussion tree into "The future of LUGNET?". I know, it was mostly my "fault" the this thread changed subjects. But to me, it's the strength of the tree structure. Then anyone (...) (15 years ago, 16-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) I'm reading LUGNET through a newsreader - Outlook Express - which is the same as my email program. I donwload all new posts in a batch (much, much, MUCH, faster than loading web pages) and then I can read the posts at my leisure, I don't even (...) (15 years ago, 16-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) Timely info! I'm in the middle of filling out LUGNET's (absurdly long) Member sign-up page, hoping to streamline posting... but that's useless & dead? I was going to suggest LUGNET make memberships free, push the donation requests more, change (...) (15 years ago, 16-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) The bottom line is that LUGNET needs to change how it handles users. At a minimum the authentication emails have got to go. I'm a member and I use the web interface so I can just log in and skip most of the annoying things (e.g. entering (...) (15 years ago, 16-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) Yeah, you're probably right. :) I don't even notice that I enter "to" here in the Name and E-mail fields (the rest of my name and e-mail is auto-filled by IE) and check that "I have carefully read... blah, blah" checkbox; that has become a (...) (15 years ago, 16-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) Heh, don't apologize - it's great to hear from LUGNET users why they like this place! My view is about 100% opposite from yours ;) Yes, you need a flickr account, but you need to join here too, which we agree is painful. When you joined (...) (15 years ago, 16-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) I do realize the fact that LUGNET is a huge deterrent, but I just can't get into my head why. Yes, I recall it was a pain to join LUGNET when I moved from the mailing list that preceeded LUGNET. But I only had to do it "once in my lifetime", (...) (15 years ago, 16-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) I very strongly second this. I've been lurking here for years now, but almost never post, and never get involved, because of how awkward, old & user-unfriendly LUGNET is. I think LUGNET is a huge deterrent to any potential LDraw newcomers & (...) (15 years ago, 16-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) Here's the last version I gave: (URL) (19.3MB) It's been a year since I gave it so it may be outdated. -Orion (15 years ago, 16-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDTranslator released
 
(...) -SNIP- (...) I have just uploaded version 1.0.5.4 of LDTranslator. Please note that due to some problems with the CMS I can not change the text of that pages. But the link still works and now you will get this new version. Please leave a note (...) (15 years ago, 16-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) That's the sort of discussion forum layout that I've seen dominate every site I use today, except for Lugnet. Lugnet surely went the hierarchical direction because the best Newsgroup readers supported hierarchical views. Like it or not, that's (...) (15 years ago, 16-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) It's been so long since I looked at it, I forgot about the copyright of the images. I'll need to get some OKs first and give credit where credit is due. That semi-truck is 99% Pierre Normandin's design. There are also some personal thoughts (...) (15 years ago, 16-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) I'll accept two round-trip tickets and a nice hotel...just kidding. I'd love to see it, but that one is a bit far for me to go this time. I'll be at BrickWorld again this year, but even that is an 11 hour drive. Scott W. (15 years ago, 16-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) Thanks for the presentation Scott. I'd love to also see yours, Orion. I have been in charge of presentations at the last two national AFOL events in Spain (HispaBrick) and will be for the next one. I prepared a short and basic presentation (...) (15 years ago, 16-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: LDTranslator released
 
Michael, I found a bug. When I start LDTranslator and open a menu but not pick an option but click elsewhere, an Unhandled Exception occurs. See screenshot: (URL) I click "Continue" I can indeed contiunue to use the program. Error: See the end of (...) (15 years ago, 16-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) I think TBB and flickR have an easier entry. LUGNET is a bit scary to sign up to, and is certainly a pain in the but to remember your username (member #) and password (is this even changeable). Actually, I remember it being a lot scary to (...) (15 years ago, 15-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) You should add it to the ILTCO library. I can assure you that it's still used. Tim (15 years ago, 15-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
