Long quotings and pictures


Recommended Posts

Hi Mark,

Is there a setting that can be enabled to help remind people that is better to make long quoting especially when pictures are present? These do make threads unreadable and boringly repeating.

Of course I meant, better to NOT make long quoting. What others think?

Unfortunately this is a problem with many forums I frequent. 

It is up to members to clip their quote when they post but most do not - wether its this site or any other.

If quoting a long post then it is better to highlight a particular paragraph from that post and quote just that paragraph that way many people will quickly see what you are referring to and it can possibly reduce confusion :)

Right Mark, what I noticed is that some forums have the feature of detecting long quotes and pictures in them, so I wonder if that's something the software you use has? I'll have a look in the docs too.

    • Hi Vandan. Hi from a fellow newbie! Marshall has got a lot to answer for hasn't he! 😄. I also got hooked to this hobby after watching his videos.  Good luck with your journey to service your Grandfather's watch.   Nick 
    • Hi all, I have a lovely Favre-Lueba dress watch from late 70s/early 80s in a stainless steel case.  Its an unusual curved rectangular case and crystal.  I'm wondering if there's any possibility I might be able to buy/find a replacement crystal for this watch.  The base of the crystal is also curved to match the case, rather than flat.  I'm looking at the Cousins website page here https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/rectsq-rounded-corners-one-side-curved-bezel-sternkreuz-rzr but not sure if I'm looking for the correct type.  In my case its a rectanglular crystal with rounded corners, and both the upper and lower surfaces of the crystal are curved.   Update - OK I now think I know what I'm looking for, but Cousins don't stock the size I need :-).  I think I need a Sternkruez RZ 315x220R9, acrylic, cylindrically domed with rounded corners.  Any tips or alternate sources for this type of crystal? Many thanks
    • Getting more interesting this post, innit? Mikeplilk, Waggy. Impressed with your efforts. Makes mine look amateurish. Hey, that's what I am. Still, I have good results with the 'frog'. Apprentice test piece. Paper is from https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234602659940?var=534248554534   I am aware that the more I delve into the DIY, the more I am gaining understanding of watchmaking. Well, a little each time. Ross  
    • Now, that's a bad boy watch! 🫡
