Hello Greg,

I took the liberty to rotate the pictures.

Good luck with your build.

Hello Dave,

I am not sure, but I think you can't upload additional photos/pictures in an empty album.

Unless one of the other moderators has an answer for you, the best thing you can do, is delete the albums and make new ones.

The pictures might have been lost because of some problems we had a few months ago.

Hello Guy,

Aldo hasn't posted lately because he is facing a health issue. Frank (Riverboat) posted this in sickbay.

I think it will take some time before Aldo will be back to answer your question.

Hello Phil,

Unfortunately I never heard of Mara Macho wood before, so I can't advise you.

Google didn't come up with anything except that is used for the production of furniture and general construction.

You can find some general/technical informtion about the wood here:

Newman Lumber Company: http://www.newmanlumber.com/mara-macho.html

Woodsourcingg.com (page 2):http://www.woodsourcing.com/usersfiles/273/desc/WMSS-Product-catalog-peruvian-joint-venture.pdf

I hope some of the other members are able to give you some advice.

Hello Nenad,

Thank you for stopping by and for asking.

I am five months into my new job now. Spending my workday making decisions, trying to solve problems, evaluating new information, make/give presentations, make manuals/guidelines, provide workshops on how the program works. Pfffffffffffft

It is still very demanding, but I hope that will all settle down in the near future.

Next thursday it is vacation time for three weeks. And after that........ I will do my best to finish my Half Moon.

Thanks again and take care,

Anja

Hello Rick,

Just an idea.

Have you checked your picture size?

If the pictures are to,big the page won't load.

Try keeping your pictures smaller than 1 MB.

1200 x 1600 is the maximum size in pixels.
