The links page has some new functions: click counter, link rating and broken link reporting. Community members may also propose new links!

 

I added an AJAX chatroom to the forums section. You have to be registered with this site and logged in to enter a chat.

 

I added an upload function for Community users who'd like to share their manuals. Find it in the manuals section. You have to be registered with this site and logged in to see that page.

 

Sorry, but the Public forum remains closed due to spam flooding. Please register to use the Community forum.

I fixed the notification funtion of the forums. You now should get an e-mail on the conferences and threads you've set to "watching" status. I am not sure wether this function works for unsubscribed guests in the public forum. Please give me a hint when you have tried in vain.

 

Just added link thumb previews to the Links section. Needs Javascript enabled.

 

I introduced an autologin procedure for Community users. Login once and simply close your browser after session without logging off. You should be automatically logged in on your next visit. You need cookies enabled for this feature. Cookie lifetime is set to 365 days. Please report any problems.

 

This websites' idea is to gather a community of common-sensed people who share their love for small-format moviemaking. Now I added a way for users to register with this website. Registered users will receive a non-regular newsletter on website updates and gain access to a non-public forum. The manual section will soon be fully available again but all downloadable files are restricted to community members, mainly to prevent leeching.

 

The public poll on how I should cover my expenses for hosting and maintenance of this website is over. Many thanks for your interest in this site and your vote! 23 votes have been submitted and a majority (41,7%) liked the idea of Donations via PayPal, followed by voters for Google Ads (37,5%). Only a minority would pay a fee for manual downloads (16,7%).

 

I think a combination of both Ads and Donations will work best. Manuals will remain free of charge.

 

As this non-commercial site features scans of original manuals I'd like to drop a line about copyright here: I do respect the rights of the manufacturer of the devices and the publishers of the manuals. If you are the copyright owner of the manuals I am providing online for free and wish I cease and desist please contact me and I'll no longer offer your specific manual for download. But be aware that the online publishing of these manuals help the community of Super 8 fans worldwide to maintain the functionality of their cameras, projectors, splicers, viewers and other gear since many of the rare devices that are available nowadays are purchased on a more or less private market and often come without the leaflets originally provided with them. Read details here. Anyway, If you unlike or like the idea of having the documentation of your high-quality Super 8 gear offered for free, please notify me via eMail.
