I have been using the Home Hub 5 for some time, its upstairs at the back of the house, in my study, and I'm am typing this on a lap-top, downstairs in the lounge, at the front of the house. This is a large house, and the router is some distance away. Have never suffered from dropouts or lag...

Hi from Suffolk also Richard.:) Dave

Hi Paul, I'm sure you are right, in that there are some Flickr groups where active discussion takes place, as Craig also said. Unfortunately, none it would seem, related to this part of country.:( I agree there are some stunning images on there, even within the groups that i joined, indicating...

Update: Wow!!, with the HDD now replaced with an SSD, it has very significantly speeded things up. :) The time taken to boot-up has been reduced by well over 50%, and accessing applications is really 'snappy'. All-in-all, a really worthwhile upgrade. :) Dave

You are probably right in what you say Chris, but on the other-hand, I searched for particular area and subject matter groups on Flickr, and having found two, I joined them. Unfortunately, despite introducing myself, posting some pictures, and trying to stimulate some discussion, by making...

That why I joined in the first place Ian, and is my primary use for it. However, I thought it might be nice to share my photography interest, with other amateur photographers in my area. Unfortunately, around this part of the world, Flickr Groups are no more than a place to show off what you can...

Seems like you 'struck lucky' Craig. I've looked a great many that are relative to my particular interest (wildlife photography) in my part of the country, and they really are very insular and reclusive, dare I say, even a bit cliquey. Plenty of interesting discussions on the forums, but in...

I should add, that as an experiment, 3 months ago I created a Flickr group, relative to my geographical area, with a description that reads: "Not just another place to post your latest image, but a group for amateur photography enthusiasts, whether novice or experienced, to share their hobby...

Ah well, I'll continue to enjoy the 'freebie' while I can. :) If I do lose it, I'll not pay for a pro account, and probably won't bother with the Flickr Free option either, if its full of adverts. Apart from using it to share photos with friends and family, I find that Flickr Groups, at least...

Well, I still have my free Flickr Pro account with my BTBB package Craig, albeit I have been with BT since the dial-up days. Dave P.S. Here's what my Flickr account says: You are signed in to Flickr via your Yahoo ID. You have a Pro account, at no cost as long as you keep your BT Yahoo! service.

Hmm!, not a bad deal for free then Gramps :) Dave

Out of interest, how much does a Pro Flickr account cost? I ask this because I've always had a Pro account provided as part of my Broadband package, so have no idea what it is worth, or what the advantages were. Dave

I have been using the Spyder 3 Pro for years, and wouldn't be without it. It allows me to have all my monitors calibrated the same, there being three of them. My main PC, the one in my observatory, and the lap-top. Simple to use, and effective. :) Dave

Hmmm!!, there are some very strange groups on there Brian ;) Including this one :rolleyes: Picture courtesy of www.meetup.com However, there is a photography group registered there, and they do have 'meet-ups', albeit they are geographically very wide spread across the country. Dave

Hadn't heard of that one Brian, I'll have a look. Thanks Dave
