This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

But; it works and I like the suggestion!

Using standard formats works in other forums too, and what can be more easy than using plain text? I will add the preferred form to the forum rules.
and someone duefully uses that agreed form as topic title, the script would change it into Amsterdam-Schiphol (Amsterdam-Schiphol (EHAM)).Iwan Bogels wrote: way of presenting the new standard. To me it would be something like "Amsterdam-Schiphol (EHAM)".

Dear McLanahan,McLanahan wrote:Uhm, since our hobby concerns aviation and aviation language consists for more than 50% of abbreviations in one way or another, I don't see the problem with using ICAO/IATA codes. Besides, most of the time it concerns airfields we all (should) know by now and otherwise go to the Scramble Locations database and learn something new. That's what it's there for!
Time for a little nap in UUWW / VKO
With all due respect to the poster, this is exactly the type of reaction you get EVERYTIME you politely ask someone to include the full name in the topic (title). So I do not agree with Key on the point that it is working very well.McLanahan wrote:Uhm, since our hobby concerns aviation and aviation language consists for more than 50% of abbreviations in one way or another, I don't see the problem with using ICAO/IATA codes.

Absolutely! There is no requirement whatsoever to include ICAO codes into topic titles in the Photo forum. That is a practice for the Spotting forums. The only request is to make topic titles here that do not just exist of codes and dates.Andras wrote:" Mig-29 crash @ Papa Airbase, Hungary"
