Just a quick note. Long-timers will have heard all of this before but please keep the personal insults out of this.
Obviously a fair few people have strong opinions about this subject, and that's just fine, but don't let it boil over.
[Don't like it? You are more than welcome to not post here.]
Thanks.

Regarding the filter, I think we have just a few words in there. That's all. It hasn't been touched for many years. There wasn't much call for us taking that filter off when the subject came up last week and I asked - in fact there was none. And as I said last week, we don't particularly want to encourage such language on here, I think the Forums work better because of the lack of it.

No but I have uploaded clearer versions now * you will need to delete/refresh cache if you have already seen the images.

Here is some more on this provided to us by the resort:

My apologies Mamabear
... though we do hear that kind of comment fairly often!

[Mantas, sorry I edited out that image you posted yesterday - it wasn't appearing anyway but it was bringing up some kind of page error alert in browsers for some reason...]

Look, I know these are often posted with the best of intentions (though sometimes with a rather different agenda), but this isn't a classified listing links thread.
And please, just because one person posts a commercial link does not mean that it is suddenly a 'well if he can I can' free-for-all.
Thank you.
[To make this situation clearer to everyone, I have deleted two posts within 10 minutes that were basically 'we do rental too' advertisements.]

Hi Alx and welcome to the Forums.
As you might expect there is a seasonal thing going on and there is more traffic just before and during the winter months than the rest of the year. But there's also a large and growing number of people who visit throughout the year which increases every year.
It seems like firstimer posted once with a few questions and that was in October last year, before last season. Long-time regulars generally seem to appreciate people coming back with a thank you or more comments after they have spend their own time kindly answering those newscomers questions. My guess is that is what Mamabear was referring to.

As the temperatures continue to drop here in Japan, our reports are going to start appearing in the run up to the 09/10 season.
Once again for the coming 09/10 season there will be exclusive daily reports on SnowJapan. In the coming weeks - every now and again - some of the Now! pages will be updated with info on how the weather is cooling down and preparations for the season are going. So keep your eye on the pages for updates. They will be irregular at first, but increase in frequency as we approach the winter season.
In early October we will be bringing you some news of a few changes to the site that are on their way.
If you are logged in to the member section of the main site, you can sign up to receive automatic email updates whenever any of the pages are updated.

Off topic - that word censor thing is/was there for a reason, so spaces don't really get round that reason. There's only a couple of words in there and we haven't touched that setting for quite a few years - perhaps it is time to get rid of that? What do you think?
Having said that we don't want to encourage the Forums to become plastered with it all over the place.
On topic - yes there are certainly a few people that I can think of off-hand that I very much don't like dealing with!

Hello Tlen
The URL you have posted above is a page, not an image.
If you go to the page and right click on the image, you will see the URL of the image. That's the one you want to use.
Thanks.

Hi there hira-rifu-rafu
Thank you for the offer. You aren't able to add to the Now pages themselves, but you are of course welcome to post comments here on the Forums.
But it is a good idea and hopefully we might get something up there soon, just to give people a bit of an update.
I know how people like to read these things, even if it's just talking about the weather getting cooler!
Actually, you should see some of the Now pages gearing up over the next few weeks and months with the occasional report every now and again.
Of course the snow season is still a while away but once we get into the season it will be back to the daily updates.
We have some more related news coming in early October as well.
-
Very sorry for the delay folks - slightly later than originally planned, but the good news is that this will be happening next week. So until then....

Hi
If you have pics of Japan or overseas snow, you are very welcom to upload them up to SnowJapan:
http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/photo_gallery.php
Whether you do that, or if you just want to add a photo that you already have somewhere online, this is how to get the photo showing on the forums - just put
after it. No spaces. Photos need to be .jpg or .gif format.
Hope that helps.
-
Might be a good excuse for me to go too!
-
I have edited the titles to avoid confusion.
-
That information will certainly be added to a few things here.
We have quite a lot of updates coming early October.
-
Where abouts in Hirafu is it Go Native?
-
No wrath here, Rob.
Might even use it myself.
-
Lots of placea to stay:

No... but very so often we remind ourselves of this.
We have this habit of adding more and more stuff to what we plan to add to the site each year. It's happening again, with another run of 'oh and one more thing' that Mr Programmers have to get done. Oh well, maybe one day!
