Can VK add a "downloads" tab?
I just got some 1967 Zenith full-line (!) sales brochures from ebay that are just too good not to share and I have access to a giant scanner.
What keeps from doing so is limited memory space on what I've attached over the years. Using a hosting service to link in content is too complicated. It would be nice to have a tab like vintagehifi.net where members upload schematics, service manuals and sales artwork.

I've got pretty much all Zenith factory color TV schematics, and MANY full repair/adjustment manuals I'd be happy to upload, and I may also have access to a good scanner at my new job (haven't tried the scan functions out on the new machine yet). Myself and others have digital copies of the complete Riders TV manuals on disc, as well as many Beitman's Most Often needed TV and some sam's. Add to that one of our Canadian members has rare Canadian TV service lit he is trying to scan. ...We VK'ers could assemble the most complete library of free TV, and TV service documentation on the internet. I hope those who have the power to make a "VK database" see it the same way.

AND I'd like to post some software
that would especially be helpful in the test equipment section.
First is showjpg.exe for displaying jpgs on a dos level machine. Second is mono.exe which is a test pattern program featuring the famous Philips EBU test pattern. Also for dos machines.

A good idea!
In the meantime its easy enough to goto hostingpics.net and upload your stuff! (No scripts needed -- A GOOD HOSTING SITE!!) |

They haven't even fixed the reply to thread page (or when making new threads, the editor is completely fubarred) and you want them to add a new feature?
Good luck with that. http://i.imgur.com/RiGuif4.png |

When they did the last VK maintenance shutdown and asked for donations afterwards. I thought: "Sure I love this site I'll make a good donation....Wait they said they would get on the advanced reply page. I'm going to wait till they do that free fix before I contribute towards the expensive stuff (most of which seems like it goes to AK)"...So far my contribution trigger has not been tripped...

But until the issues get fixed, I don't see them adding any new features in the near future, and you're right, why donate if they haven't fix something as changing a string of text in the boards theme? I personally used to design themes for ProBoard way back around 8 or so years ago. It's literally so easy to fix this bug. |

Decisions like that are above my pay grade.....unfortunately.
Look at it this way....it's the same thing as asking upper management in a company to look at a few things. Pretty soon they have their hands in everything trying to "improve" it . Since AK has ditched vBulletin in favor of Xenforo, my guess is that any improvements would be tantamount to changing the entire site's software. We don't want that, do we?

Well we can't leave the current system broken and looking ugly, it's falling apart. You can't even use the advanced reply editor at all. It's been broken for ages, and people have been willing to help.
Changing a string of text in the theme files aren't that hard or even trivial, as has been claimed. We want to see this place fixed, not fall apart. |

I've got Luther looking at this now.

The advanced editor is now fixed. My apologies it took so long. I was only made aware of it today. The only time I ever check in here is when someone asks me to. This isn't a paying gig, I just do it in my spare time.

This thread needs to get back on the original topic of wanting a downloads function.
Further discussion here of the 'reply to thread' page will result in post deletion. Further criticism of moderation by anyone will result in a 1 day posting suspension, as will complaints about this post. -Tom (being the bad guy to save a topic I like from being closed) Carlson

Let me know if someone digs up an old hack that will work with this software.
