Sorry folks, Access World will not accept my posts (2 Viewers)

I don't know the technical answers, but there is a more practical answer. Jon would have to buy the Xenforo add-in for each of those abilities - if it exists - and his budget is not that big. The advent of Google's AI, Gemini, puts the squeeze on LOTS of help sites including this one. I understand that Xenforo has lots of add-in options, but none of them are free and Jon really WOULD like to make a profit now and then. He has done a lot for our security issues and has implemented many nice visual abilities, but he has lots of expenses to consider. For example, he has retained technical posts from a couple of decades ago. Contemplate the amount of storage space needed at the hosting site for 20 years worth of posts.

Good sources for profits are: advertising, job postings, online courses, paid membership, donations, etc.

The blades come out whenever a site owner even suggests advertising.

I would love to make a profit Doc, however, advertising revenues for the site are less than 1/10 of what they were prior to covid and hosting costs have gone up.

I am retired, on a fixed income, and not at all wealthy or I would contribute more than just services, Jon.

 

[Jon]

You already contribute plenty enough Doc.

My only purpose in starting this thread was to tell folks why I wasn't responding to them and that I wasn't being disrespectful.

I appreciate every comment that those two threads received. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am still interested in learning how folks add animation to their applications. I may start another thread on the subject one day when I hit the 100-post mark. It is a technique that I would like to add to my applications.

Know that if you post to my first two threads on AW, I won't be able to respond to you. I can read them, but that's all.

I would be very interested to see who here (if any) actually use animations in their DBs.
Same applies to any audio.
