Re: Bugs? Problems? Report them here!

I didn't do anything to anyone's account specifically. I just updated the board software, which is a task I have put off for a very long time.

Re: Bugs? Problems? Report them here!

I finally updated the board software and manually activated a bunch of the accounts that were sitting in the inactive list. Maybe it will work appropriately now.

Re: APOD: Jupiter from the Webb Space Telescope (2022 Aug 30)

A couple of questions. I read that the JWT can't detect blue visible color, being an infrared camera. So that means that the blue auroras aren't actually a blue color. Does blue mean that it a colder infrared which would make sense since the poles would be colder than the equator. But why is there ...

Re: APOD: Jupiter and Ring in Infrared from Webb (2022 Jul 20)

The colouring process is not yet well explained (?) for Webb infrared images, but bright white is colder ? Thus the poles ? And, it seems, the Great Red Spot ... I can only explain that they are both H2 filters, just at different wavelengths and that the "red" one is much more nondescript...

Re: neufer Memorial

Well, the forum certainly won't be the same without Art... and Vacationer at Tralfamadore happened when he took a hiatus from the board a while back. Prior to that, he was known as the Quotidian Quotationist. I think I was reading Slaughterhouse Five when I set it to the Tralfamadore one, because so...

Re: Pending Update to Board Software

I added some language packs. Note that language packs are translated by volunteers, so not all languages are available. Though the board is still an English board, feel free to change the interface to your preferred language if it's there and you'd like.

Pending Update to Board Software

Sometime in the next few days I need to find time to update the board. I'm not sure exactly when it will be because I have a 1 year old that only wants me to operate on his schedule (lol), but if you notice the message board doesn't work at some time or looks different, it's most likely because of t...

Re: APOD: The Outburst Clouds of Star AG Car (2021 May 26)

Someone's going to have to let me know what they mean by "reprocessed" because to me that means I took work that was processed by someone else and then processed over their processing, which I did not do. Agreed. You were working with the raw images, or base calibrated images, right? So y...

Re: Formatting suggestion

I highly recommend using a browser addon that will let you add your own CSS. It's a bit tricky because there are no classes or IDs defined, but you look like you can figure it out.
