Color me super late on this, but I just figured out how to follow the Filmwasters blog. I didnt realize that it was on Tumblr. Now that I am using tumblr, I can reblog the posts I see there and that makes me so happy!!! Just wanted to share because Im so excited.  ;D ;D ;D

Which makes me wonder ... How many people remember that we have a home page? www.filmwasters.com

http://filmwasters.com/  it's on the home home page.

Not the forum home page.

Mauricio - have you tried to join it yet?  According to flickr, there are no pending members for approval at the moment?

Silly question but is there a way to put a link to the blog or to the "home-home" page on the filmwaster's forum home page? I find I'm always clicking on the "Home" or the Hasselblad graphic in the corner trying to locate it.

i've added the blog to my bookmark bar (as well as the forum) now....wonder if it's worth adding it permanently as a link on the top of every page...?

This isn't a silly question at all...in fact it's one Francois asked about 4 years ago (and we know that Francois ain't stoopid). Back then I had just re-designed the forum from it's original 2006 look and one thing that I'd changed was that clicking on the "filmwasters.com" logo on the forum took you to the proper Filmwasters homepage.

This was all good up until around a year ago when I changed the design of the forum again and found that the workaround I had originally used to redirect 'clicks' to the proper homepage instead of the forum homepage...had stopped working. I had meant to fix it, but if you remember, the re-design coincided with a software upgrade and between them (and me  :-[) we managed to delete all previously posted images and I spent a couple of weeks scrabbling around trying to restore them. Sooooo, not my finest Web Guy moment...and I forgot about fixing the link. Until now. Thanks for the reminders & apologies for the confusion.

Will try and sort it out the next time I get some time.

UPDATE: Well, despite me accidentally taking the forum offline for a few scary moments (NOT what you need at 1AM when a very early start beckons in the morning!!), I have found and changed the parameter which controlled where the logo linked to. Nice!

Now you can access the rest of the site directly from the forum. Hurrah! It's 2009 all over again.

I'm off to bed. Good night.

 ;D Point taken, Francois. I've also been doing a lot of music-making in my spare time over the last 3-4 weeks and have had to let photography slip down the priorities list a little. Just coming out the other end again now though so you'll have more of my company from now on.
