Calling Bill Fleckenstein
Haven't seen him post in a couple of months.

I've gotten a few emails from him (typical Internet jokes mostly) but he's been quiet on the forum. I hope all is well..

Bill was fine last week and we generally communicate weekly. But, regarding his absence from the forum, he told me "since I can't post photos using the new format, I'll just stay away", I miss his posts and wit too and I truly believe it is a loss to all of us. Bill is "old school" and I really enjoy that about him.

Maybe the problem is on his end?

His excuse makes no sense. Photos are easy to post. There must be something else.
Maybe he just got sick of the same old questions, over and over, all answered by the same people, over and over.

Bill loves old tech; I know he still dabbles with Windows 95 and so if he can't get something to work here he may be on boycott..

Not sure whats up with that member, but you would be shocked at the members who give up on the forum because the site "wont let them post photos" or cannot make some other function work. The frustration with the computer stuff is very common.

The C7 forum is populated by much more tech savvy people, as a percentage, than the C1 forum. And even on my C7 Z06, I sometimes wish they didn't have all that infotainment programmable stuff and just something simple, like an AM/FM radio with an analog frequency bar.

Gol-danged infernal newfangled crap! I was trying to put Morse code for "I agree" but it keeps consolidating it all together instead of keeping my spaces! That's it, I'm outta here!

Strange, I was just thinking the other day that is miss the "swish, swish, swish" sound as you are tuning across the dial. Well that and the Conelrad icon.
As far as loading pictures, most times the upload will crap out for me at a certain percentage. I just keep at it----watching it cancel at a higher percentage with each attempt. Almost like it adds a little more of my picture with each cancelation. I guess the thing is to keep at it and it will finally load.
Like others, I hope Bill F. is OK and starts posting again.

A few of the "older crowd" I started out with 11 years ago when I bought the '61 have had "life" get in the way a bit....some family and personal issues take center stage at some point. I don't see them as much on here anymore...

One reason you don’t hear much out of me anymore is the picture issue. I use an IPad which has my pictures. I gave up trying to post pictures months ago. It use to be easy but a PIA now.
