The image rotation problem is the first noticeable Xenforo bug I can recall in my almost four years of administration. I say "noticeable" because dozens of bugs have been corrected in the several Xenforo releases we have installed, but all of them until the image rotation bug were obscure things...

Ken Payne, our webmaster, has just applied the Xenforo image rotation bug patch. I'd appreciate it if members who have had the image rotation problem, such as @lowangle al, @Robin and @Boatman53, would experiment to see if the problem has been solved.

But does the "attached" image appear full size as an "inserted" image does, and can the image size easily be manipulated as it can be with "inserted" images? Easy enough to test, I suppose.

I don't recall if this news has been posted, but I was just talking to Chad Swander at ZRE today and found out that Bob Zaveral sold the ZRE business in November 2024 to Chad. Chad has moved the business from New York to Grayling, Michigan. Bob Zaveral remains as a consultant of sorts and his...

Apparently, this is a known bug in the most recent version of Xenforo that has been resolved with a patch, which I've asked our webmaster to install. See this post of mine in today's Posting images thread: https://www.canoetripping.net/threads/posting-images-in-threads.130278/#post-178087

I've just researched this issue of pictures being correctly rotated on phone and computers but showing up on the forum incorrectly rotated. (It's interesting that Alan has discovered that that the problem is more prevalent when using the Attach Image button (paperclip icon) than the Insert...

I agree with both of you. The speed difference per stroke doesn't really matter to me, but the cumulative muscle fatigue and hence the lessened effort for loooong stretches of forward paddling does. Alan, you asked in one of these comparison threads whether I thought the effort and fatigue...

I still disagree with you because no matter the paddle stroke rate difference between racing and tripping, for example, the physics of each stroke is the same for the bent and straight paddles. According to Dr. Burke's research, with a 12° bend the paddle is moving at maximum velocity...

Al, I'm not sure how @kahel turned some of your photos. When I have done it for pictures posted here, I download the photo to my laptop, turn the photo the right way in my photo app, and then upload it back to its original place in the member's post. What canoe is that in Alaska, a Mad River...

This is why I said in the other thread that bents are more effortless and less tiring for me than straights for hour-after-hour single-sided correction strokes, speed being irrelevant to me. Unless I go to switch paddling because of wind or up-current attainment, in which case bents are much...

I would think that a bent shaft paddle increases speed by at least 2.4% compared to a typical straight tripping paddle. Burke took input data from Caplan, who, as I understand it, modeled an outrigger canoe paddler who used the same paddle differing only in blade angle from 0° (straight) to...

Alan, I find this very interesting and am somewhat surprised that the single blade won in everything but the one minute sprint, in which there was an average speed tie. I probably would have bet on the double blade in all the tests. You set your Onno double to quite a short length for a canoe...

I am going to move @Brightraven's post to a NEW THREAD in the Canoe Transportation & Storage forum. @Brightraven and @gumpus and anyone else, please continue your discussion on this garage rack issue in the new thread.

This topic is whether there is any subjective or objective evidence, or even any reasonable beliefs, that bent shaft paddles are more efficient than straight shaft paddles (or vice versa). Ever since Gene Jensen invented the bent shaft paddle in the early 1970s, the flatwater racing community...

"Most recently I took classes at the Wisconsin Canoe Symposium for heeling the canoe and moving around in the canoe. The instructors were outstanding, patient, and encouraging as always. Since I am not a gymnast, ballet dancer, or even very agile, I was apprehensive about my abilities to heel...

Of course. For one important thing, when you are paddling from a centralized position you are paddling a wide 16'-18' tandem. Using your stern position style, you are effectively paddling a narrow 8'-9' canoe, which will be much easier to pivot.

In this video Becky Mason teaches sweep, reverse sweep, J, sculling draw and sculling pry strokes. She does this "Canadian syle"—that is, in an on-side heeled, wide tandem canoe, angled "facing her work," and hence she ignores all cross-bow and cross-stern strokes, and off-side heels, which are...

Last week when I was tripping in the Adirondacks for three days with a group of Freestyle instructors, we faced on the first day a fairly long crossing of Osgood Pond in a stiff wind (maybe 6" waves) blowing broadside from my paddle side. I was a bit nervous to make this fairly routine crossing...
