my first ski in the press today

[skidesmond]

I had no problem viewing the Facebook links above.

Am I the only one who doesn't have a facebook account?
I just never saw any point.

nope, you're not the only one.

facebook sucks.

[a.badner]

facebook sucks.

your a prick, to alot of people.

facebook is good. its a free social networking page very much like
skibuilders.com

along with it being a free hd video and photo hosting page, it has alot of users. its much easier to find people with common interests as yours on facebook.

and its useful for communication purposes as well. i.e a college student doesn't have to call a long distance number to home with facebook. instead he can just "chats" with his mother.

I don't have either. Skidesmond is the only modern "FOG" here...

Can you guys, a.badner and doughboy, chill down a bit?

[skidesmond]

Ha, I don't have Facebook either, sorry OAC

I just don't see the need for it yet. My wife and kids have it. Email and IM is enough for me. I'm on computers all day. I suppose if I had a band or a business it would be helpful. There's Linkedin which I have which is more for establishing and maintaning professional/business contacts.

What sucks is that I can't see the goddamn pics. I have a freakin' FB account- no links work for me, period. I'm even cutting and pasting them, since most of them are malformed anyway.

Your only missing a few choice ones.
Vacuum bagged.

Does this happen only with links in skibuilders.com or all links? Do you use IE, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari,....?

[webboy]

Thanks Montucky. Those are some nice looking boards, after all.

In general I don't have issues. I use Firefox, but anyway, I work with computers, so I would usually figure out if I had an issue with my own setup. I'm wondering if it's got anything to do with me being in Sweden. That would be strange, but it's possible.

[skidesmond]

It's possible you're ISP could be blocking certain hosting websites. You could play dumb and call them, ask why you can't get to certain websites.

Thanks again for the advice, but I'm actually a network engineer, so I can tell you with confidence that that isn't happening. The messages I have been getting are showing up after I reach Facebook. Here's a screen:



I personally think there are better/easier ways to share images, but to each his own. Other than being frustrated that I couldn't see his stuff, I thought he ought to know that FB was screwing him over, and perhaps others in here will avoid doing that as well. You can use photobucket with your existing FB account, so it's not even a pain to sign up.

[skidesmond]

Hhmm.... that's weird about Facebook, bad code. I use photobucket.

LOL- yeah, no kidding! What, do you guys think this is TGR?!?
