If you are logged in, the digest shows topics from only the sections to which you're subscribed, right? That's what I see when I click on latest digest at bottom of this page, and is what I remember from olden days.

Since you don’t use the digest, the “issue” doesn’t affect you and doesn’t seem relevant. But to some of those that do, the change is a negative, and diminishes their enjoyment and time on the forum, period.

It's hard to believe that it's been ten years since the MH370 disappeared. Last night, I watched a very good video about it by Mentour Pilot on YouTube. He's a commercial airline pilot from Holland (I think), and he know what he's talking about. This is the most technical, detailed report I've seen yet, and I've seen a lot of them.

I really like this guy - I’ve watched dozens of his videos on UTube. He has some very technical videos on aircraft design and flying as well as detailed dissections of accidents.

I've been using a larger, plug-in unit for years, but this little guy does the job. I haven't tested it for distance, but distance really isn't the point.
For $12 bucks, I got this battery-powered unit that sends an FM signal to a radio. I can connect it to an iPod or a cell phone and hear the music from radios in the house. It also works in the car.

Not fast enough for lots of indoor sports and you don’t need a FL that long. Fine for outdoor daylight sports.
One alternative - If the weight of the 70-200 is an issue, as it is for me after hours of shooting, a 135 f2L and carrying a 1.4EX II or III in your pocket cuts the weight substantially for indoor shooting and gives you options out to ~200mm @ f2.8. I use this combo for indoor sports when the 70-200 (which weighs 3lbs) gets to be a bit much.

With a full-frame EOS 6Dii, you'll probably want a lens that can get you to around 400mm to 'reach' midfield for soccer, football, similar. You can do with a 2x mounted to a used EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS II. You can find this lens at KEH.com today around $1000 with EX rating. Use the balance for a used copy of the Canon 2X EF Extender III Teleconverter.
đź‘Ťđź‘Ť that would be my suggestion as well

Damn - meant
It does, but the effect is not the same. In the old format (like a newspaper or magazine), there were top topics from many of the sections (I selected), which would often cause me to go to that section to view. Now, I start with the main section from the menu, work my way down through the posts, and then move to the next section in the list. By the time I get to buy-sell-trade, I rarely am interested enough to check the special sections as I would have in the old style. I know you never used the digest so this seems like a no op to you, but for me and others, it HAS had a negative effect on our time viewing the forum, especially the special sections.

No I tried it with no partition. All other drives I tried have no partition when I started. But I can do that. I don't think it would work. When the SATA bios boot it doesn't care what kind of partition is on the drive.
Then I’m out of ideas unless there’s a BIOS upgrade available.

Did you ever try it with 2 500GB partitions?

It's not that kind of problem. The bios of the adaptec card doesn't go pass the bios start up. I know you have to install the driver when install windows xp etc.. The motherboard has the adaptec ultra SCSI 320 built in an that one works fine with both the internal and external connection.
If you mean that during the BIOs load, you see the Adaptec API load and THEN the BIOS /boot load freezes, then unless you can get a copy of the Adaptec install SW, you’re SOL. If you mean that you never see the Adaptec API load, then same answer - you’ll need another card (and one that supports XP). Did you ever try partitioning it into 2 500GB partitions? In the end, if the BIOS does’t (or can’t be made to) recognize your drive, the system won’t find it.
Your other options are to use SCSI or PATA drives, limit yourself to 500GB SATA or try a SCSI to SATA adapter. Never used one, but they are made, and since SATA drives use the same voltages and SCSI command set, it’s not hard to make an adapter.
Good luck

ebay has a pair of Timberline Ambermatics for $849. Good lookin' but I don't imagine that they'll sell anytime soon. Others are priced in the mid 300's.
I know, and now I’d need prescription (or clip ons). Ambermatics would darken from a yellow in low light (which actually gave everything a rosey hue and seemed to increase visibility in foggy conditions) to a dark brown very quickly in sunlight.

Are you suggesting that each service station generate its own hydrogen, or that it be piped to it or distributed as we do gasoline?

Booting up then attach the drive causes the fdisk program to hang. I guess the controller is old and not supporting hot swap. I never did the hot swap on this computer. There is no dip switch on the board. The controller is the Adaptec 1205SA. I think it's among the first SATA card they made.
Are you saying that if you boot completely and then attach the partitioned and formatted drive that Windows can’t recognize the drive? Why would you need fdisk if the drive is already partitioned and formatted? And did you try the drive partitioned into 2 500GB partitions?
Went to the Adaptec site and here is the link to the XP driver and the instructions. Adaptec does mention their SATAconnect SW which likely loads both the driver and API - I can’t find a download for that anywhere, but you might try Adaptec support. I know on their SCSI drives, their SCSIconnect SW was essential in installing SCSI drives with Adaptec HBAs. The SW allows the BIOS to recognize the Adaptec SATA card and associated drive before calling for boot loader. Without that step, boot loader can’t find the drive.

Actually, I couldn’t resist “poking the bear” (notice my smile at the end). But seriously, the reason I mention it is I have seen several posts recently where members have stated that they spend less time on the site since the change - I know I do. My point was that UHH seems to be steadily declining in web visits (and interesting new topics) since about the time of the change. Related or. coincidence? Something is occurring, and it isn’t positive. What do you think is driving the downward trend? I would note that newspapers and magazines have always had a headline cover page before the internal sections. Think they might know something about attracting initial attention to bring the reader in for more in-depth coverage?
Honestly, if I could do one positive thing to change the site, it would be to fix the useless search function.
