The Charles Conlon Collection

[Leon]

I am posting this for John Rogers. John has been a generous supporter of Net54baseball in the past. I am pleased to announce this for him-

All Net54 members are invited to check out www.theconloncollection.com. Every single glass plate negative...yes, all 8400 of Charles Conlon's images are unveiled for the first time to the public. The Rogers Photo Archive has spent the last two years digitizing and identifying each image. Special thanks to the following net54 members: Yeakleys, Rhett and Rheys, Frank Ceressi and his team of Danny, Nicole and Carol. A HUGE thank you to Gabriel Schecter and his vast knowledge of those cup of coffee, seldom seen pre war players. Everyone was a great help in the project. We know there are some mistakes on team identification. Please email us for any correction. The site is fully searchable by name, team, year, etc. For lovers of pre war imagery, the site is an excellent resource. For equipment collectors, an excellent resource for uniform styles. SPECIAL: Until 12/20, all net54 members will receive 25% off of orders of 200.00 or more. Enjoy! Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah.

I'm having a helluva time with the Conlon site. I keep getting messages about unresponsive script, and Firefox has shut down on me twice. The other 3 times I tried the unresponsive script messages appeared and it seemed that Firefox locked up. Maybe I should use internet explorer, but I won't. And if that's why I don't order 2 of these expensive prints then well enough.

The site seems very slow to me. I have no doubt that what they're offering is of great quality.

I tried for over 30 minutes... that's long enough for me. I give up on it, until someone posts explaining how they easily got through to the players in which they had interest. I do hope to see here that the site has improved.

Like Frank, I've also found it slow, but I've not had any errors ... just (nearly) unbearable slowness. Once past that, some of the images really are amazing.

Mike, do you use Firefox, Internet Explorer... what browser?

Frank, I find Chrome usually works on sites that choke on Firefox.

[FrankWakefield]

Topcat, have you used Chrome on the Conlon site, and moved around in it?

[frohme]

I've been using Chrome, Frank.

Same problem here, with Safari and Firefox for the Mac. Just learned about Conlon today so I am excited to look around and will check back to see when the kinks get worked out.

Thanks for sharing the information.

I use Chrome and it's slow for me too. I have sent a message to John. regards

Is there a phone number to call to place an order?

I am checking on this and the discount offered.....

[Leon]

John's response-

"Leon- Yep...our developers didnt have a built in promo code. It will be up within 24 hours. In the mean time, they can simply email us through the site and we can create an invoice with the discount built in. Thanks again for lending a hand on this. Still encountering issues with the speed of the site. Slow again today. Working our bugs as we speak."


That being said if anyone has difficulties just shoot me an email at leonl@flash.net and I will make sure the issue gets addressed. best regards

The site is running better now. Still a little slow but not bad. Great pictures. Christmas is coming a little early. The discount code box is up. What do we put in it for our discount?

In the first post that John asked me to help with this is what it says...

" SPECIAL: Until 12/20, all net54 members will receive 25% off of orders of 200.00 or more. Enjoy! Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah."


Again, I haven't ordered so don't know how it is structured but until the 20th you should put in a 25% discount on orders of $200 or more. If there is a place for a code I would put Net54baseball and that should do it. If John asks me I can give him any member's USER ID to verify......Please let me know of any issues and I will get them addressed, or I am sure you can email them on the site too. best regards
