[Morning Greetings!]

Good morning.

Tough day yesterday and overnight.

Time for a sleep. Yawn.....

[Just a quick explanation about the Forums yesterday]

Hi folks. The Forums back online again.

 

I just thought it was a good opportunity to say a few words about the few times in the last few weeks when we have had to turn the Forums off. For differing reasons actually, but each time we thought it necessary to do so in order to protect the Forums and prevent possible worse things happening. Without going into technical details the first time was due to us moving server which is always not easy especially for something this size. We did not plan to do that mid-season, but circumstance informed us it was the best thing to do. Yesterday a different technical security problem made us turn the Forums off as we looked into it and created a solution - which we have now implemented.

 

We're not at all happy about turning the Forums off, even for a few minutes and so to do so for a day at a time is a last resort. In the big picture, it has only been a very short time, but still we would prefer not to have to have done that. So please accept apologies and we can only say that it was necessary if we are to do our job looking after the Forums as a whole and this community.

 

The good news is that I now believe we won't be facing this again in the near future.

 

It's not 5am and time for a rest.

 

Thanks again!

[Which resort has the longest season in Japan?]

Hello. Okutadami is a small resort in Niigata, somewhere between Yuzawa and Nagaoka, nearest town is Koide.

[Even in a bad year the turns can be sweet!!!]

If I feel the need to move in on any of the individual or collective bitterness one more time in this thread, posting privileges will be withdrawn instantly without question.

 

Is that clear enough?

 

I am just totally not interested in dealing, sorry.

[Missing Person in Niseko]

Some people - not messages remaining here I might add - seem to see this worrying story as an excuse/opportunity to spam post links to their websites (of no value to the subject at hand) and get some publicity through that.

It's not, and it's extremely annoying. We will be showing zero tolerance with this.

Rather than angling for some exposure and personal gain, why not put your efforts into trying to help with all this?

That would seem to be the decent thing to do.

 

Back to topic - wishing you all the very best with finding him soon.

Trucks were blocking the view this morning but you can just about see the box here

 

[The thread with the randomly changing topic]

Actually we are at the moment looking into a few possible ways to move things forward, though that will be for 'the future' rather than in the next few weeks.

 

Looking at the photos uploaded by, say, from memory, MikePow and muikabochi, I'd say that some pretty sharp high quality photos can easily be managed within the limit. I have just taken a quick look at the photos in their folders - I'd guess that most of those came in at an average of just 200KB as well, they are almost all well within the 500KB.

 

Anyway, time to log off. Thanks!

[The thread with the randomly changing topic]

Well let us increase that limit then shall we. Give me a bit of time and I'll have it sorted. Easy, hey.

 

I'm not sure how a change from 500KB to 1MB would actually change much since you would have to make them smaller anyway.... and with that software (and other software) you can literally batch process a hundred photos within a couple of minutes. As others have shown many times, very high quality pictures are easily possible with that limit. It hardly seems like a huge effort.

 

You know, if you are wanting to post photos can I just point out a few other things if you like what we do, want to help other people out and at the same time go some way to supporting us in the process....

 

Uploading photos to our site links them in to the system - so for example there are lots of Niseko Hirafu photos all together in the same place, tagged and linked to from the reviews for that resort and also from other areas of the site. You have probably checked out lots of photos of Japanese resorts yourself on this site doing just that, thanks to people uploading them. Ultimately this is a big help to lots of other users who visit this site, of which there are a lot. And while not having an impact one by one as such, in the big picture it also doesn't do this site any harm to have 'more' photos than 'less' photos. So in effect by uploading photos you are supporting us at the same time.

 

Of course you're under no obligation to but if you are doing a report then please do upload them to SJ if you can and are willing.

 

Thanks
