bobthehobbyguy replied to François's topic in WIP: Model Cars
First off an amazing models. They demonstrate the exciting possibilities provided by 3d printing. The quality of judging for contests for difference shows can vary from very good to bad. That has been one of the reasons that NNL ( display only) had become so popular. Congradulations on your people choice award which shoews appreciation for your fine work.Please continue to build and share your work and don't get discouraged. -
We normally get a official announcement that the magazine has been mailed. Is the magazine in the mail?

Sounds to me like this is an issue with the forum software supplier. Saw this fix on looking at SQL injection Example (in pseudocode) Vulnerable (direct string concatenation): username = userInput.Get("username") password = userInput.Get("password") query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '" + username + "' AND password = '" + password + "'" An attacker could enter ' OR 1=1 -- into the username field to bypass the login. Safe (using a parameterized query): username = userInput.Get("username") password = userInput.Get("password") query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ? AND password = ?" ExecuteQuery(query, [username, password])

My suggestion would be to create a document with the text. Divide that text into two parrs and post half and see if it succeeds. If it does the add have of the remaining text and see if that works. It shouldn't be too hard to find the offending text.

My hats off to the mods for closing power keg topics which a majority of members don't come to this site for. The purpose of this site is talking about model cars there are plenty of other social media sites for other topics. Let's keep it that way!!

The categories are fine. If people embrace tags there would be no need to make new catagories.

Model Car t shirts????

I concur. Getting the magazine back on track should take priority over merchandise and forum changes. The magazine is the foundation for merchandise and fo4um. -
Any time frame for when the forum changes will be taking place?

Unfortunately instead of having enough staff the solution is to lock everything up. If there was enough staff they wouldn't need to lock everything up. Walmart does this all the time. My sister has found that it's easier to do parking lot pickup rather than trying to get things opened. I suspect that getting customers to do parking lot pickup is the desired result which means that can further reduce the number of employees.

Unfortunately this scam exploits the fact there are no restrictions for pm for new members. The first twenty five posts are moderated though. The pattern is always the same a new member with no post count referring to an third party that has the item for sale. This scam is called the WTB(want to buy " scam and is not limited to just this site.

Ordering From Overseas Still?

The current changes eliminate the tariff exception on toys. -
Past performance is not an indicator of future results is a common investment disclaimer.

I believe the biggest issue is that in the past items less than $800 did not have to be handled by customs. That threshold has changed and the system does not have the resources to handle the new volumes. Hopefully the issues will be addressed. -

A common phrase in computers is garbage out. This is a perfect example of that. -
Glad I could help. Another good website. Here is another great site. The late Donn Yost series of fundamental Fridays is also another great source for beginners. Tons of great info in the series.

I like to listen to Sci fi stories and other fictional stories. One thing that most of the AI used to vocalize the text has a hard time distinguishing pronunciation by context. For example the word read which can be pronounced as red or Reed. Which makes me skeptical of trusting AI to do something as important as medical diagnosis or any other critical diagnosis. -

Although there is potential for the terminator scenario I think the more devastating issue will be the loss of jobs in so many fields. Second is the over dependence on technology. Recently United airlines had to ground all domestic flights becuase the computer for weight balancing and fuel consumption went down. In the past before the dependence on technology this task would have been done manually. Another hazard is the he skills for doing basic tasks without technology will atrophy. Third studies with MRIs have shown that using technology uses different pathways in the brain than doing tasks without it. Fourth besides the potential for AI to be maliously used there is also the potential for hackers to corrupt AI and create mayhem. -
Here is a link for building an AMT 1950 convertible. Some great tips for making sure everything thing fits before painting.

Went to the store today and saw that the powerball was 700 million. I bought one ticket. Now I get to think about all the things I could do with that money. I would help family and friends. In addition I would set up a workshop that would allow to make lots of modeling projects, and electronic projects.

Nice work. You will learn something from each build and you will get better at it. As you have done when something doesn't go right figure out what happen so you can avoid that issue in the future.

Ads pay for clicks and views. 1000 views pay a small amount while clicks generate more revenue. That's why there are clickbait ads to entice people to click on the ad itself.
