Scalefour Forum

Thank you for the impressive event. I've particularly enjoyed watching the layout videos, and will continue to watch them for a while yet!

Perhaps of interest: "Microsoft Teams takes on Zoom with free all-day video calling on the web" https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/20/21579076/microsoft-teams-free-video-calling-web-zoom-competition Relevant quotes: "While the software giant launched Microsoft Teams for consumers on mob...

I'll offer another thought. There's no reason to fixate on Zoom. In addition to Zoom my own lockdown experience includes WhatsApp, Teams, Google Meet, Facebook Messenger, and FaceTime. Some of those are actually free for all. The only 'work' is to convince your fellow participants to use the same sy...

In addition to the cost, here's the volunteer work the society needs to have a 'society zoom account': We have about a dozen groups who use the licence for their meetings. They can have up to 100 members and there is in theory no time limitation on the meetings. In practice, as only one meeting can ...

Paul Willis asked me nicely to change his Flymo748 username to ‘Paul Willis’, so I’ve also changed his on my workbench area to match.

I believe they can be downloaded here:

Note to Webmaster(s): Could this thread be incorporated into the other thread about form tools? It seems bonkers to have two seperate discussions about the same topic! I'm sure it can be when it's run its course. while it is live thats' trickier (it requires constantly moving/approving/adjusting) -...

In an ordinary year, I would have the pleasure of preparing retrospectives for our shows. This year will be different. Scalefour North this year was presented on the same day as our virtual Scaleforum, as ' A Flavour of Scalefour North '. I've now placed that page in the more usual place on our webs...

They will be permanently hosted by our YouTube channel, and linked from the show website.

I'm honestly unsure what our options are. The videos probably belong in one channel, but I'm not sure if YouTube supports such things.

Most of the videos can be found directly on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxPKgI4HoOrf_SsDKCIYQgw That's not well promoted in our other assets (website, etc) yet because it is (a) new, and (b) new. Starting there will mean you can use YouTube's library and other tools, if you...

That was the case with several of the DRAG demos. Some of them weren't available much, or at all, yesterday, and maybe I should have opened a topic on their presentations on their behalf. I don't know what response Lewes might have got if I hadn't done that. I think this is a good example of Forum ...

Access to the virtual event from the main Society website was not very obvious Please,anyone, tell me what we ought to have done. All you have to do is click on it. Hehe. I’ll bite :-) We could have turned the whole page over to the show. We could have put a link to it from every page (there are ar...

I do understand your frustration, but how do we minimise it? I’ll use this as a hook to jump in. Yesterday, our forum broke a number of records for us, and had a sustained contribution rate of a post more often than every two minutes. The number of people logged in, or accessing as a guest, were al...

Those offers are now closed.

As a reminder, we had two specials for Scaleforum 2020 (while the show was on): ⋅ Membership + A P4 Starter Pack ⋅ Free Postage (worldwide) on the eshop and members stores . Both ended at 5.30pm today, UK time. Jeremy has noted that if you wish to make a phone order for the store...

It’s unlikely we can fix that today - it has been the focus of some effort in the run up to the show, to get it where it is now!

There's a fresh link in the post above, now that Jeremy has restarted.

Greetings from somewhere behind the screen...



Nice to see so many members online.

Not just you. We may take some time to fix it properly - there is some software involved, and we need some time to sort that out.

Thanks - that may take a little while to fix - we used some software for that part, and it may need the author to come online to fix it.

Thank you all! The 2019 Retrospective is now live.

I've just updated the link to Jeremy's live stream!
