When will we be seeing issue 225
Xingu replied to bobthehobbyguy's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions
Even though it says 2-Years 12 issues, you are paying for the number of issues, not the time limit. You would get 12 issues whether it took 12 weeks, 12 months, 24 months or 30 months. -
A new model car magazine

Good luck with the magazine Scott. -
Forum website has been sluggish for the last few days
Xingu replied to peteski's topic in How To Use This Board
This has nothing to do with the new server, since we never migrated to it as there were problems with the transfer. This is an internal problem that Dave is trying to track down. Sometimes, it is like finding a needle in a haystack. Be patient. Go build something. -
It seems to be working fine for me. @Dave Ambrose can take a look to see if anything is off on our end.
-
Send @Dave Ambrose a message and ss if your sub started with this issue or the next.

There is a minimum post count that must be met before moderation is removed. I usually get to the posts earlier on the weekends, but was away from my computer all weekend. They are typically approved quicker.
-
Sorry to see you go. Unfortunately, the minor inconvenience that moderation causes you helps to provide a safer, more secure site for all the other members. Given the types of things that moderation has allowed us to catch before posts were made viewable to the members has shown that it is an invaluable tool for us. We do not like having to approve all of the posts, but the the amount of spam and adult oriented material that we catch daily shows that it will not be going anywhere anytime soon.
-
I will flag this so Dave can double check if there is anything on our end that is off.
-
Len, Not sure what the problem could be. I am still getting all the emails I am supposed to. Did you double check all the notifications are set to email and not just a notification on the site. Account Settings>Notification Settings (under Other Settings, on right side of screen). You would then need to check each of the individual items. Maybe the emails are going to a spam folder? I do not know of anything on our end that would change those settings.
-
Go to your Inbox. Each message has a little box you can check. Once you select one (or more) you will see a trashcan icon you can click to delete them.

Went back through this thread and handed out warnings and bans to those that needed it. If you go to a political site to get your memes, there is a really good chance it is going to cross the "No Politics" threshold of this board. Thread is now locked, because a handful of members wanted to test the limits of political commentary to see what they could get past the moderators. Also, this thread generally stopped being funny a long time ago. Do not start another similar thread, it will be locked down/removed when we see it.

Make sure you are actually trying to send a PM and not posting on their status page. They are different. If you post to a status page, others can see it.

Exchange numbers so you guys can complain and moan to each other in private. The rest of us don't need to hear it. If it continues you will be removed from the board, then you guys can meet up at a show.

Some members here were also pretty rude to him. I feel that is also a reason he stays away. He isn't the only one this has happened to.

I have a similar setup. I have different bulbs that I would use. I think i have a 750w bulb somewhere. They get extremely hot, was a good way to limit how long I stayed in the studio (spare room).

I count my blessings that I didn’t kill my entire family.
Xingu replied to NYLIBUD's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
We had a 20 year old unit do the same thing. It was shooting a flame about 4" outside the unit. Just happened to be walking by it at the right time. I use it as a reminder that everything needs maintenance and needs to be checked regularly. -
Go to the bottom of the page and see if you have any options under themes. I am using Default (Default) and it takes the banner away. Dave may need to tweak the IPS Default theme a little to get the banner to show properly.
-
You may be getting reactions (similar to likes on Facebook) and not responses. Look at the bottom right corner of your posts.
-
I see this thread developing just as i thought it would. I will save some of you a 30 day timeout and close this before it gets personal.
-
Lets not turn a lighthearted thread into one that just bashes all of the perceived negative traits of our hobby. Keep it clean and respectful please.
-
This could take weeks to fix.
-
It is an ongoing issue and there are more detailed discussions up in the How To Use This Board section. There is no universal fix for this issue and we are looking at alternatives.
-
You hit a nerve because your post implies that it our fault that you are having trouble. When in fact it could be that you are entirely at fault and clueless as to how to fix it. The truth is neither of us have any idea what causes this, or any of the other issue. Our end has been trying to fix this issue for over a year without having to completely revamp this site.
