I also fully agree. It would be really a shame if Utkan were about to stop posting pictures of his remarkable layout. We will miss the stories of his little Preisers. There are different ways to tell a story, and Utkan has his particular way to get us into his enchanted world. We should respect that. The rest is just technicalities. I personally read the forum quite often with my mobile, and I haven't really noticed any quantifiable difference when I browse it with my PC. I guess it is a question of where the cell towers are positioned and our current location. Technicalities against a work of art. My choice is quickly done! If somebody doesn't like it, one has only to do is tune to another thread. Pierre Did you you know Pierre? You get one of best views of Istanbul from a hill called by your name Piyer Loti......   .... and I know that Marklinistanbul gets another beautiful point of view with your sincere post....  |

Snow in Istanbul! I didn't know it was possible. Even more interesting is the connection of Piyer Loti (the famous French novelist) with your country. I am sure you know all about it, but I had no idea that Pierre Loti was so famous in Turkey and that one of your poets - Nazim Hikmet - wrote a poem about him (thank you Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Loti  ) Regards, Pierre

Hi Mehmet,
I like this thread very much. I can understand David's concern, but I'm quite happy to wait until I can view it at my leisure at home. Please carry on posting in your own unique way! |

Well, The latest exchanges remind me, unfortunately, of another thread ... Like the "Too many thanks in topics" thread, it resembles a real non-issue ... ^^  Technically (we'll let Juhan sound off ...), the "new" Forum server seems to handle all extra photos, multiple posts, "reply with quote" (including a gazillion photos) and 100's of smileys no problem ... and sure, some clients (smartphones, tablets, mobile devices in general) will have some connection issues that slow down viewing, no doubt ... I usually save viewing the forum for my wicked-fast Ethernet connection ... ^^  So Mehmet, whatever you do, and because many people follow your thread ... don't stop posting please ! Perhaps just take into account as many parameters as possible, including ; mobile device users, concentrating as many of your photos as possible in one post at a time rather than 1 photo per post (Photobucket willing), asking yourself if all the photos are necessary to describe a scene ... etc. Peace, and keep on truckin' !

You know Juhan ......you make a perfect moderator, too.... ...and I must admit that I am ready to send ALL the pictures to you from Marklinistanbul then you write the story for us..... ....surely the word 'recommendation' has melted all the snow even in Piyer Loti.....  ps: so sorry I could not find the pictures of the other two seasons....  |

Mehmet, Another wonderful story of international visitors to MarklinIstanbul. It's just over a year ago that I also enjoyed your hospitality at your layout on my visit to Istanbul. Thanks for keeping us all informed. Regards, John

Strewth, it was not my intention to start a war or anything, so I apologise if anyone has taken offense. I too enjoy viewing these types of threads. I might not have posted in it for some time, but that doesn't mean I don't look.
All I was trying to do was ask Mehmet to keep in mind his potential audience when posting, and structure things in the best way. I'm not telling him to not post or anything like that, after all this is Mehmet's 'personal' thread about his layout!
Thanks to Juhan for giving a visual representation of what I was trying to say.

Sorry for being OT, but relating to the mobile browsing issue, one thing I've found when browsing a thread with lots of photos, is that because it does take a while to load the complete page you might have browsed to the middle of the thread and started reading. Seconds later, the rest of the thread loads and then the browser takes you to the bottom of the thread, and you lose your place where you were reading. That might be a quirk of the SIII, the Chrome browser, or due to Telecom NZ's 3G network, but it is disconcerting when it happens. That is where I was coming from, and again sorry if anyone got upset and thought I was telling Mehmet to not post!

Kristof Hi Kristof, As you said, a lay out can be happy and full of life as long as it receives visitors..... otherwise it is nothing but a ghost field..... Who knows maybe you and your girlfrined might give the joy to the little people of marklinistanbul.....  Cheers, mehmet ps: due to the preprations to the Göppingen visit I hardly find time for marklinistanbul....but promise to compensate when I am back.... |

Hi David, Believe me I have put the flags according to the list of imageshack.... But if the order has made you happy, so I am happy, too..... As you have found out the answer before me it is the Norhern Cyprus( an un recognized counrty).... but I had a family from there so I have put the flag.... Cheers, mehmet ps: I wish I had all these flags in my signature in every post of mine... I tried hard but could not do.... |
