Just complying.

I just tried to give an evaluation on my new K-3, and was instructed that I had to post here first, so I'm doing so. An anti-spam measure, I'm told. Seems silly.

Misread it at first to say "complaining"

Adam, after I typed up the review and tried to post it, I got a message saying I had to post on the forum before that would work; that this was some sort of spam prevention procedure. I did, as above, and then it worked. Like I said, that seemed silly because I've been a contributor here for some time.

Best,
John

Well, this has happened to me also. But only on occasions where I have been typing and editing for a long time in the "reply box". There seems to be a "time-out limiter" involved here(????).

What I have discovered is that if I preview (*Go Advanced') once in a while during my editing, this won't happen.

PS.: Thanks for the review btw. It does become clearer and clearer to me that I have some saving to do!!!
