Most browsers are able to save logins. I never use Internet Explorer or Edge other than for testing when I create websites, I use Firefox as my default browser. It stores the logins for you if you opt for that.

Hi, I see that the link url has been changed, and the current one is not working. It's not my doing. I have to message the owner to find out what has happened. There are a couple of ways to correct it, and I need to find out what they want. In the meantime use this one: http://www.upholster.com/upholstery-forum/index.php

Yes, Sorry. It had to be removed.

You can still give your feed-back in this thread.

Don't know where you got those words from, but they are Danish and 'snedkermaster' means 'master carpenter', 'vispesnedker' means 'whisk (that kitchen tool) carpenter'.

Danish is close to Norwegian. In Scandinavia the Danes, Swedes and Norwegians can all speak their own language and understand each other.

The video file is about 67-68 MB, so it probably takes some loading time.

Thanks for your concern. Here is Gene's video: http://eikweb.com/stuff/uph-forum/video.html

There are several ways to do this: add to YouTube is another option. If videos (or images) are to be uploaded, the best naming would be no spaces in the file name. Use all in one word, dashes or underscores.

Gene, have you got Dropbox or OneDrive or something like that? If you have, put the video in there and send me a message with the link to it. I can upload it to my server so that it can be displayed here.

This shop, to which the forum belongs, sell among other things 'Perelli webbing'. When I added it to the webshop, I was told to call it so. I'm wondering if the name should be Pirelli, as I know that there is a big company in Italy by that name, that produce various rubber products. Here in Europe, they are best known for car and motorbike tyres, but in an earlier discussion here some of you were talking about Pirelli webbing. Please take a look at the page http://www.upholster.com/upholstery-supplies/upholstery-webbing/perelli-rubber-webbing.html and compare it to this: http://www.jamiltonupholstery.co.uk/pirelli-webbing . To me, they look the same. Am I right or wrong?

Testing smileys :) :( ;) :o  :D 8)

I was asked to enable smileys...

There seems to be no way to display the smileys so that they can be selected by clicking on them. I've gone through the whole configuration and not found any such option. The ones above here have been typed. In order to see how they are typed, click on 'Quote', then you can see the actual characters.

OK, you can keep it. ;) I have banned the poster, though, so he will have to go someplace else to learn English.

Back home now. Since I made those security changes I have had just one person applying for membership. I've just replied with the usual activation mail. it remains to see whether that is a spammer or not.

The violent flood of spam started right after the forum had been upgraded. I wonder if some of the security settings were in place before that, but were overwritten somehow in the upgrade process.

Thanks for your help. I will remove thr captcha and instead create a third scurity question, as I also had problems with the captcha myself.
'Denco'has been sent a mail to activate the account, so that we can see the whole process.

I don't know how Ken did it, but I have been sending out those activating mails ever since I took over. But that is apparently not enough. I just yesterday discovered the further protection bu adding the captcha and the security questions.
So far it seems to work well.

Thanks for testing. I will remove those test posts in a day or two.
I found a way to set a 'CAPTCHA', you know one of those things with some jumbled up letters and numbers with some lines going through, and also a place to set security questions. I actually thought this would have been done long time ago, before I got involved in this.
I registered myself with a different user name and address and found that the captcha was quite difficult to read, so I may remove it and add a third security question instead. Anyway, I have seen no spam since I did this.
Would some of you try to go through the registering process, to see if it seems too difficult?

If what I've done works correctly, you must make more than two posts fairly soon after each other. I didn't want to makeit too cumbersome for you. ;) Just post in this thread a couple of test messages. i'll get rid of them afterwards.

Also, it would be interesting to see what happens if one or two of you would try to register, under a different user name and mail address. And please post here which user name you use, so that I can let you in.

Thank you, kodydog.

I found some settings that I applied, and that might help. The change may, however, also affect your own posting, in that you may have to answer security questions. Try it out, and let me know what you think.
