Airfield names instead of iata/icao codes PLEASE PLEASE!!!!

[Felipe]

People please...

Do i really have to google everytime when i wonder where the pictures are taken that i see on this beatiful forum...

I presume it's not that hard to put the name of the airfield in the header as well.

Thanx in advance!!!

Why google if the answer is more close:

http://www.scramble.nl/icao.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

[ehusmann]

I agree with Felipe, even if it is just one link to search the name. For the person posting the log it is even less, because he (/she) has been there and knows the name.

So why not being a little more accomodating to all the others on this board and type those few extra letters. Just once, so many others do not have to search everytime. It really is not that difficult, is it?

I second that.
Don't write in riddles, please. Use the normal names.

Hans.

[Herbertvh]

I agree as well.

And mods, can you make this topic a sticky as a continuous remembrance, please?

Thanks,
Herbert

[camel1]

I agree as well. It can't be that difficult.

[falcon01]

I support this also.
And please give some comments with the photo’s where and how they where made.
Sometimes the exif is not present. Please if that is the case, make a remark which camera and lens the photo’s where shot.
Kind regards

Eh Key.....

I remember that there is a possibility in this forum software to change words automatically when they are uploaded. This feature is used to delete cursing, but I have also seen other forums where specific words are changed.

Would it be possible to set a filter to change common codes automatically ? Like "EHAM" is changed into "EHAM (Schiphol)" and EHGR is changed into "EHGR (Gilze-Rijen)" ? This would work throughout the forum, and you would only have to configure these changes just once. Next to that they would generate a "common standard" of writing ICAO and full names, thus triggering others to do the same manually when uncommon codes are used.

Would this be an option for Scramble ?

Another, more rigurous approach, would be to lock all topics with incorrect titles until the author resets them correctly. This way people will do it correctly when they notice that they don't get any response. I will be happy to help you moderate.......

Just thinking with you....

Cheers,
Iwan

Iwan,

Just thinking with you. Could this be an option: Fort Worth - Alliance (AFW / KAFW) or (AFW / KAFW) Fort Worth - Alliance?

I agree that the whole name should be given in the header of the post.

Hi Iwan,

This works, just tested it. I am not sure whether this leads to even more "errors" than we are already experiencing recently... so Hans needs to assess whether it is a viable option.

But; it works and I like the suggestion!

Regards,
Stefan

If it doesn't generate more "errors" I would love to see this happen as well! It's a big annoyance to see those airfield codes all the time, and for some reason repeated requests to type names instead of this, a lot of people can't be bothered apparently. If this could be changed automatically a lot of annoyance will be gone!
So many thanks in advance

If I do see a code which I don´t know then I´m not opening the topic.
It´s just that simple. I bet that a lot of clicks are getting lost because of
saving those 2 seconds...
