New Upload Limits
Xingu replied to Dave Ambrose's topic in Forum News and Questions (formerly: How To Use This Board)
As of right no, the TOTAL limit is set to 10mb. I have reached back out to Dave to point this out. We will need to decide how to address this. Obviously, we can't have that be our total limit as it locks out a lot of members from being able to post photos again (unless they are hosted off site, which brings the PhotoBucket mess back to life). We will figure something out, just need to get everyone online at the same time so we can talk about it. My guess is, there will be a size limit placed on photos going forward. Some guys may need to learn how to resize photos or maybe the software can automatically do it. This is temporary, we will get it worked out. -
New Upload Limits
Xingu replied to Dave Ambrose's topic in Forum News and Questions (formerly: How To Use This Board)
I am guessing that it may have been set to 10MB total per user, rather than individual files. Will need to wait for Dave to check back in. I flagged this. -
I flagged this so Dave can look into it. Maybe it is an ad that is overlaying on it. The ad companies are ruthless when it comes to getting clicks. i have been pushing for theme options for a while. I personally want a dark option, that is easier for me to view. Most of the reliable, well integrated, themes cost money.

The software is updated regularly. Dave usually posts when the site is down for an update. I don’t remember when the last one was. We are at the mercy of the software provider, it is possible that they do not completely support all/older browsers and platforms. I suspect someone out there is using Windows 95 and calling us every name in The book because things don’t work like they did when the board was first created.

You are not blocked here or you wouldn't be able to get to us on any device. My guess is that you or your service provider has a firewall or malware/security program that is blocking us. You can Whitelist this site to let the program know we are okay. You will need to research what needs to be done on your end to do that.

When I get some free time, I am going to go to one of the local tracks and see what everyone is running. Maybe see if the track has a rental vehicle so I can try it out.

The whole Cali wildfire thing is pretty hard to believe.
Xingu replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
There are going to be a lot of quality vehicles destroyed when this is all said and done. Some folks ignore the early warnings and have to move out quickly, I fear some pets and farm animals are getting left behind. -
YouTube videos can be monetized and a long unboxing, before getting to the meat of the video, can get you to the much coveted second ad slot. I feel some folks start out with good intentions when posting videos, but quickly learn how to work/maximize the system.

I am sure there is an imaginary line somewhere that designates the point where anyone South does not put snow removal in their budget. We got 11" Monday and are expecting another 3" tonight. It is the melting and freezing after that causes issues here.

We are a well polished machine. Sometimes, we have no idea what causes the issues. It could be a simple string of characters that triggers a red flag on any of numerous pieces of equipment the zeros and ones passes through. Could be something that just simply causes the function to time out and the page not found could be the software's default message.

I also ran Serpents, I have some (actual) photos somewhere.

Disappearing Emojis
Xingu replied to NOBLNG's topic in Forum News and Questions (formerly: How To Use This Board)
I see the question mark too. Hopefully Dave will be able to look into this and come up with a solution. -
Disappearing Emojis
Xingu replied to NOBLNG's topic in Forum News and Questions (formerly: How To Use This Board)
I flagged this for Tech Support (Dave). Could be on our end or it could be an issue with Apple. Can you link a post so i can see if it shows the same for me? -
I have been thinking about getting back into racing RC cars. Looks like the 1/8 scale on-Road nitro racing that I used to do is all but dead, as does most On-Road racing in this area. Never raced Off-Road, but there are some tracks in the area, indoor and outdoor dirt. Looking for advice on what to get, starting over from scratch and will be running electric. What kit, radio, motor, etc would you recommended. Not a beginner, so willing to get decent gear. I know I will get a variety of answers, but will also be doing some research based on those answers. Thanks.

That is oddly satisfying.

When can we expect to see issue 226
Xingu replied to bobthehobbyguy's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions
I am not part of the magazine staff, but my personal opinion is that they should not make any posts of when the magazine is going to the printer or being mailed. I like being surprised when it shows up. Give people information they will use it for good and evil. We do allow criticism of the magazine here, which I also don’t think we should do, but some take it to far and do it too often. It is kind of like trolling, which is against the forum rules. -
When can we expect to see issue 226
Xingu replied to bobthehobbyguy's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions
The subscription is for the number of issues, not the timeframe. They do try to get the magazine out bi-monthly, or as close as possible. We expect to get posts like this every 8-10 weeks. -
What did you see on the road today?
Xingu replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Please remember that we have a separate section for car show and museum photos. This thread is for cars you see out in the wild. -
Unfortunately, if you mention EV this is what we always get here. EV will be semi-normal in about a decade, just when the hydrogen fuel cell cars start to really hit the market. I guess then we will complain about the roads always being damp.
