If you look around in the command structure of expercraft you will find a command to print the site. Obviously will be a bazzillion pages that nobody wants to do. If you don't have a free "pdf printer" installed on your computer, google and get one such as PDF Creator. Chose to print expercraft and sent it to the PDF printer and you have a massive PDF file with all of it in date order.
Its a good backup and useful for presentation to FSDO or DAR.
I think you might want to be sure you can *download* your entire build log, so you have a local copy, before uploading more. Just in case.
Get the following error message when I attempt to load pictures . . . . .
Upload error: The destination directory doesn't exist or is a regular file.
I still cant load photos... I guess i'm not clear as to whats really changed on the site ...other than its been down or operating at reduced capacity for over 3 weeks now.
It looks the same .. just doesnt work.
I have 140+ entries and almost 1000 hours of work documented here. I printed my log to a PDF but I really don't want to transfer all this data into a new format. But, at this point, I may start looking for alternatives.
If there are extenuating circumstances Rob is dealing with preventing him from getting this back up and running, I can be understanding of the protracted downtime. But not even a word to the customers is just inexcusable. It is not hard to add a message to the homepage or a url redirect to a click-thru landing page to explain the issue.
Meanwhile, I still got charged for the month. Seems his PayPal account is still working.
Web based build logs are a lot like nose rings and spiked hair...us old guys don't get it
Why not make completion date notes in the margins of your Vans build manual, next to the operations performed? Regularly store some build photos on your hard drive. Burn a disk for your DAR when you get ready for inspection, assuming he/she actually wants pictures. Spend the new free time building the airplane.
I'm running KitLog Pro on Windows 8, and I've always had at least some problems. It's kind of a wonky program; not very intuitive; clumsy; the help function doesn't work with Windows 8; it keeps thinking I'm offline when I'm online; it keeps offering revisions at startup, but won't actually upload them. At first Matt Dralle was good about getting back to me with fix routines... but they didn't work completely... and recently I've had more problems and haven't gotten a response yet. I wish I could do a complete reinstall off of a CD-ROM... but that's not an option. I'm given the impression its somewhat of an orphan program nowadays. My latest problem is with deleted posts still appearing on my online feed, creating redundancy and inaccuracy. Kind of a drag... but I've never really gotten along with electrons very well... they're way too rogue for me. Enough to make me build with steam gauges... almost.

...and Expercraft is still not working properly. I've left 3 VMs and sent 4 emails to Rob. ZERO response. Should we all just give up or is there a chance he'll get this back up and running?? Anyone have any communication with him recently?
Just the same as yours - emails and voicemails go unanswered.
Stopping the monthly payments for the website might get his attention, but only if everyone did it.
2 more weeks down....still unable to load photos or access my profile page.
