I wonder who the users are which are permanently online but have no profile: Bing, Yahoo, Google, ...

They never post and always lurk. Do they spy on what we do here? Catalog out photographs and make a record of our posts?

They are neither members, nor guests nor admins ... Is there a way to keep this riffraff out? Especially Google who is infamous for information gathering and spying as any European should know.

Bing, Yahoo, Google are robots of the search engines which are indexing the forum.

 

I can try to make them invisible - but it's absolutely vital for the forum that they do they work.

About 50% of visitors find us via Google & Co - without them the forum would become a lonely place...

 

And:

- No, they are not spying you.

- Yes, they are „spying“ our content and make it visible to the web - BTW - this is what the web is meant for.

As a multimedia designer I am quite aware of what the internet is for, how bots (incl. malware bots) work and how to control them using the meta tags noindex, nofollow,noarchive, nosnippet, noodp, noimageindex, their opposites, etc. Even of how to control specific search engine bots on an individual basis including return intervals.

Which is exactly why I asked my question. Your answer was typically oberlehrerhaft and in future I shall resist the temptation to try and discuss such issues on an intelligent level. Please delete my account and content.

Oberlehrerhaft, you crack me up. Someone knows what he's talking about: click me to see an Oberlehrer

Andreas:

I am a "photo enthusiast" of 5 years standing who migrated to Fuji from Nikon 3 years ago with an initial purchase of an X-Pro 1 and the 35mm f/1.4 (an X-Pro 2 is on pre-order with B&H).  I use the forum to get an all-around idea of what is happening in the Fuji world in particular, and photography more generally.   Spying is a foreign concept to me in the context of a camera system's forum. Please keep up the good work.

I read the posts to try to learn.  When I do write something, I get little to no response because I don't know the technology.  To get a response you have to use lots of initials.  OVF and EVF are essential.  "I was having tea with my EVF and I kicked the OVF out."  "No!  No!  You are a fool.  Only OVF takes tea."  Equipment brag gets attention.  "The only lens I use is a UT-1 made in Germany during the First World War."  I guess I am a lurker.  I stand back and try to figure things out (and do a lot of google searching) so I can take good photos.

[...] so I can take good photos.

 

In the end, isn't that all that matters ? :]

 

Not all of use are that keep on the acronyms and all, but after a while you will known them and start using them yourself, kind of a lingo but just for photography.

 

We can all argue all we want about what X does that Y might do better while Z is laughing his arse off because A, B and C did something else. But what really matters is really that picture you took the other looks pleasing to you.

      Hello, If you look in the top right-hand corner of each posting, there should be three dots in a row, like this —>  …  <—, click on them and after a moment or twelve, a small menu should drop down from the dots, the last entry in the menu is ‘Edit’. Choose that and after a moment or three you should be in edit mode for that entry. Note: Only you can edit your entries.

      What is most ironic about this is that there must be many of us here that would be interested in significant ads about the products we're discussing. I would be. I normally hate ads, but relevant ones here would actually be somewhat welcome. What are the recent new Fuji product announcements? Is anybody offering a sale? How about 3rd party products? I mean, I actually want to spend money, more or less.

      CANNOT BACKUP OR RESTORE X-T4 SETTINGS WITH FUJI X ACQUIRE

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      I don't think I have your answer, but it's worth trying. It's been a few days, are you still struggling with this? I've used Acquire (on an iMac) and an X-T4 (also an X-T5 and an X-T30 ii) and it worked, at least as far as backing up. No error messages, and a computer file with stuff in it. I understand you get an error message when you attempt to restore the camera from a backup, but, does it look to you like the backup phase is working? I mean, do you get a saved file and no error messages? Do you have any other Fuji cameras, and does it work for them? I have had problems getting Acquire to detect the camera. I did all manner of playing around with starting the software, plugging in the camera, and powering the camera on, in various orders (including what the instructions say). I always got it to work eventually, but it took lots of playing some times. Lately it fires right up. Somebody here commented on this difficulty and the security obstacles in the computer. Are you getting a connection easily, or after trying things, or not at all? Does Acquire show your camera model and the few settings it displays correctly?
