  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) Thanks for the offer Remi. I have my own personal webspace that I also use to test out LDraw.org ideas and a server running locally on my laptop so I can develop without an internet connection. -Orion (15 years ago, 18-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) This sounds promising. Doesn't seem very actively developed anymore, but then it's used here: (URL) you're interested, I've got some webspace where I can set up a test phorum, give you full access to try out & play with. I'm also proficient in (...) (15 years ago, 18-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) Also threads with recent discssion are marked visually as being such and there's an Active Topics list available next to View New Posts. I'm going to be a little stirring here and suggest that possibly many of the same people demanding that (...) (15 years ago, 17-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) Group discussion comments are very searchable ((URL) Image comments aren't which I agree can be frustrating. And flickr is very good at telling you where there is activity. Which isn't to say it's a good place to discuss LDraw. It is not. The (...) (15 years ago, 17-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) Maybe you're missing the 'login' part? When you're logged in you get a link "View new posts" on top right under the banner. You can also (when logged in) select the "Options" menu in the upper right (although a bit lower than the other link) (...) (15 years ago, 17-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) I have trouble navigating Eurobricks because it requires so much scrolling and clicking on <next> links to find things. I mean, how do you find your way to a particular post when there are 318 *pages* and you have to scroll through them all to (...) (15 years ago, 17-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) I tend to agree with you... Anyway it may be OK to post images (though I don't like the way we are supposed to browse them), but it's definitely not a place for serious discussion, as comments are not searchable. Philo (15 years ago, 17-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) Sorry, but I'm a little slow. Was it at LUGNET or Eurobricks you couldn't find your way back to that topic? /Tore (15 years ago, 17-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) Really? I kinda like to browse Eurobricks. Lots going on there, with plenty of great pictures. Once I tried to help someone with lsynth and then (I'm embarassed to say) I couldn't find my way back to that topic the next day. Even logged in I (...) (15 years ago, 17-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Lego City Police Car - 7236
 
(...) There is no single list, but there are some links here: (URL) Eric Albrecht's Technicopedia has Ldraw files for many Technic sets: (URL) (15 years ago, 17-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) Not sure which forums you visit but they must be unusually obtuse. Just about everywhere I visit tells you which threads have new posts since you last visited and an unread topics page. --snip-- (...) Tim (15 years ago, 17-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) Err, how am I supposed to remember which "dozens of threads" I visited yesterday? Most "forum" software seems pretty aggressive about not showing visited/unvisited links. I don't spend a lot of time in forums, but the only useful one I've (...) (15 years ago, 17-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: The future of LDraw?
 
(...) I'd see LDraw getting a forum system with most aspects of the bulletin board system like user accounts instead of emails *but* having a threaded layout like here on LUGNET. I myself do not know anybody who uses LDraw or even LEGO for that (...) (15 years ago, 16-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Lego City Police Car - 7236
 
Hi again! I've done some more Lego modelling! This time I'm playing with the Lego City Police Car. I've created some renders using POV-Ray and I've put the LDR/MLCAD files and various other 3D formats of the model on my website. See the following (...) (15 years ago, 16-Mar-10, to lugnet.cad)
 
  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)
