(...) --snip-- Sorry about raising your hackles. This one was meant to be a jokey tone but rereading it I see it's not so much. Particularly since I tend to take a strong tone in my arguments in general. Tim (13 years ago, 7-Aug-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Yeah, sorry, I'm already registered at the new forum. My reaction was mainly against Tim's tone - as if 'modern' is the only working way. For some reason he raises my hackles quite often... I'm well used to web forums, but I still prefer NNTP (...) (13 years ago, 7-Aug-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Here's the deal: When I created the new forum and announced the change, I knew there would be some people who didn't like it. Change is hard, I acknowledge that. But we were driving away new blood for the sake of the old hats. Yes I like NNTP (...) (13 years ago, 7-Aug-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Personally I have no problem with NNTP and would happily stick with it. Unfortunately most of the internet will not. So our choices (as I see them) are as follows: 1) Stick with LUGNET with NNTP but suffer a lack of new users who either can't (...) (13 years ago, 6-Aug-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) NNTP is simply a more efficient protocol than HTTP for forums. I can't see the point in wasting time on web interfaces to forums, when NNTP is so much more efficient - and allows me to pick a user interface I like. Play well, Jacob (13 years ago, 6-Aug-11, to lugnet.cad)

I have a question about this latest parts update. Many of the new parts have file names longer than 8 characters, and none of them will load into MLCad. They just throw up "file not found" errors. (This is MLCad 3.30.) Is there something I need to (...) (13 years ago, 6-Aug-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) It's possible that LDView is running out of memory. Taking a snapshot with a high resolution would take more memory than loading the model in the UI, but the difference shouldn't be huge. 3000 parts is a fair number, but I wouldn't think it (...) (13 years ago, 31-Jul-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hi Travis, I've tried to open it manually with LDView and that works. It happens with all of my models that have around 3000 parts and 3 layers max (with this I mean model-submodel-subsubmodel). I've taken a look at the activity when I try to (...) (13 years ago, 30-Jul-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Are you able to manually open your model files in LDView and view them? Also, does this LDView error happen with all models you try to use with LPub, or just some specific model? If it's a specific model, would you mind sending me the model so (...) (13 years ago, 30-Jul-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Ok, ldglite's not the only thing showing it's age. I should've remembered this sooner, but better late than never. If you *always* want to use the ldconfig.ldr file in ldglite you just need to copy it in the ldraw/models subdirectory. Then (...) (13 years ago, 30-Jul-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) ldglite is is pretty old at this point, but it should be able to redefine colors using the ldconfig.ldr file. However since it is really old it may expect to find that file in the same folder as the model file being rendered instead of in the (...) (13 years ago, 30-Jul-11, to lugnet.cad)
