Done (easy) but I have 4 questions…
1) Did I screw up by paying too early? I had an existing membership expiring at end of May this year. By paying now, my account now shows that my next payment is May 2, 2021. Should it not be due instead on May 31, 2021, so I am adding a full year from my previous expiration?
2) Will I be billed automatically next year? I prefer avoiding auto-pay methods.
3) I am unclear about the “general membership sign-up fee”. It seems like the purpose of the “first-time sign-up fee” is to be a fee just applicable once, to the very first time we sign up (not following renewals), and that we can use this $25 discount coupon to avoid it now (which I did). My current payment was “only” $100. But when renewing in about a year from now, will I pay $100 or $125?
4) Since my membership payment has completed, can I delete my credit card on record under “Payment Methods” in my account?
Thank you for making this a streamlined process, looks professional (like other online stores).
Different choices and still be right? <– This is a link.
Thank you for working on this David, and to all those involved.
Is it possible to make the animation pop-up window size-adjustable?
Not hoping for more resolution, just allowed to adjust the window to become larger.
I like it. Can we play Twister on it?

Nice work David.
It loads up quick and plays rather smoothly. Leaves me wanting more than 15 min.
The benefit of visually seeing nested replies, is less important than the benefit of having replies in chronological order which then allows to:
- Provide a list of links to the single (only 1 per topic) oldest unread posting in a discussion/topic. No need for multiple links for each unread posting/message, which make that list too long.
- Entering a discussion/topic and reading posting in chronological order.
The only disadvantage of not seeing post/message chronologically (instead of visually nested) is that users replying to another just need to start by a short quote or say who they are replying to if it isn’t obvious (like the message just above). This doesn’t seem to be a problem on the international Paragliding Forum, which provides the ideal list of links to the oldest unread message under each topic (click this to see). The attached image shows a typical result, and you just click the orange “UNREAD” link to get into that topic’s oldest unread message, great!

I agree that it is important to avoid having to re-scan a recent topic, to hunt down what we have not already read.
I agree with Marc to see a “chronological list of Most Recent Posts”.
I recommend preventing recent postings to be inserted between older ones inside a displayed topic (the cons outweigh the pros). Other forums I use (like the international Paragliding Forum), only have postings in chronological order within a topic, and then it becomes possible to have a list of links to the oldest unread posting within a topic and read the newer unread ones that follow.
Thanks for your good work David.
When using a tandem wing for flying solo (as in this case), the connection needs to be extended to account for the missing spreader bar webbing triangles for tandem setups. Otherwise the brake handles end up too low.
Good points in: XC Mag > How to survive the CoronaVirus layoff

Looks promising, thank you David.
Thanks for explaining those options David.
I’m only interested in same-day animation, no need to keep related pictures/video file more than 24 hours, avoiding the need for significant archival storage.
Live Cameras
Great implementation work in general David !
For the LZ camera, can you add a link to an animation of the last 2 hours (example)?
