    Selling Part Of My Collection

    That's right. What have you got that's for sale and not on eBay?
  2. The members only bit? It's still there and visible just to members. Should be the 2nd one down. See it?
  3. Yes, that's right, I'm merging some things to make it a bit simpler. Have also added a few new ones, e.g. the separate area for For Sale/Wanted and a TPG sub forum. Everything is still here, just (in some cases) in a different place. The top 2 and Ooo err, hmm are now all in the top forum. The Rotographic related posts are all in one area without separate, largely unused areas. If there's anything you can't find, let me know.

    Test

    Yes, yes yes! I should have known you'd all crash in here. Suggestions noted.

    Auction Houses - Juice

    There's a lot of old school people still out there! My cousin Graeme Monk (we established once that he's most probably related to one of my maternal great-aunt's husbands) of Croydon Auctions was along the right lines with his low fees etc. Shame he's giving it up.
  6. I sent an assortment of 3rd Reich bits to Lockdales once. Carefully itemised and packed. When they got them they said they were all repros, which for most items was no doubt true. However when I got them back 2 pieces were missing - a tie pin and a badge. I enquired and they said they'd never seen them! I packed them myself. And eventually I never heard anything. No apology, no compensation, nothing. So, to me they are not just thieving the postage, they steal the potential auction lots too! Since then I'd had nothing to do with them. So, if people find this post: Be warned. Lockdales are very dubious auctioneers.

    Is the blue bin for your old magazines Peter?

    I wonder if it was somehow corrupted on download. I used Calibre to create it from the mobi file, so that should be absolutely fine. I'll email it to you.
  9. Perhaps a setting somewhere, I'll have a butchers.

    Exonumia - Modern Odds & Sods

    I've had those Earls Court wheel tokens before! Currently I've got this. Circa 1840s Lloyds Newspaper ad. Threepence post free. The host coin, which can be identified in hand, is an 1805 Irish Halfpenny. £3.30 inc postage if anyone wants it.
  11. I can see that Paulus 'likes' your message above. I wonder what happens if I like it too.... it indicates that Paulus and I like this.

    No, the ePub version has no restrictions.

    No, you won't have to buy another. I can email it to whatever account you want, as many times as you need!

    I'm not sure what to try. Aldiko the latest version? I'll try on mine.

    Oh. Does it give a hint as to why not?
  16. Yes. Anyone else on IE for whom it is working properly, especially the quoting feature?

    The ePub should also look fine on a laptop. Android, hmmm, it should be easy to copy it into whatever ebook directory you have for use with whatever reader you have (I've got an Android with Aldiko). As mentioned above, small screen devices don't display fixed layout epub files that brilliantly.
  18. It could be flash/active x problem. I have the same quoting issue on IE11! The other things you mention seem to be ok., TG.

    Is it an iPhone? Garrett has experience getting it onto the iPhone.
  20. I can see you liked it (on full version). And if someone likes one of your posts, a notification appears by your name right at the top. And, on every page you can see a facebook 'f'/'Like' blue box below.....if you click that one, it'll register on your fb profile that you liked an 'article' and will provide a link to it and give you the opportunity to say something about it.

    Bugger. I'll make sure I go through this thread when preparing the new edition! In fact, it's a good place to mention these little probs that have crept in. Due to the fixed layout format of the tables and some images it does mean that the ebook version doesn't really display optimally on smaller screens. Hopefully, although the formatting may be a bit skew whiff, it should all be understandable.
  22. Aha, hang on... the like thing on the posts has nothing to do with fb! It simply shows that you like it. Try it now, limit removed.
  23. Right, it should work now (I think)! Users that also have facebook accounts can now 'like' comments here. I don't know how it works for people that don't have fb. Try it Rob, it may just state that you 'like' it. There are no doubt other features that I don't know about yet. I tried it by liking this and Rob's comment, above.
  24. It's not the hosting or anything on this side, it's a facebook thing. I'll look into it this week.
