niteowl7710 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 That's because it's linking straight to the German site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old site URL was obviously http://www.revell.com.

Dave Van Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 If you click on the Revell USA link it's still dead. Seems to be a lot missing from the German site that was on the spreadsheet shown recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Yes, I'm serious. Why do a thread only half way? Pictures, links, all add to the enhancement and better understanding of what one is trying to convey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the stuff on the spreadsheet, they haven't updated the site. I'm sure they will in due time. Edited August 26, 2018 by Rob Hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) I just don't get the laziness of expecting people to post the links for you, when you can easily find it yourself on the Internet...it's not like we are discussing an obscure resin caster. Revell's website is easy to find with minimal effort. Edited August 26, 2018 by Rob Hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL My point was by saving the Rocketfin link you would then have several links. I suppose I'll go back to just viewing the board instead of participating.

Bill Eh? Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Sorry Al, no criticism was intended. I applaud you for the solid recommendation. I have used rocketfin in the past as well. Since the initial posting revolved around Revell, I thought what the heck, check out the Revell link on Rocketfin. That is when I made the discovery and pointed it out. I did not mean to deter you from participating. This ia a great site to follow and participate on. Lots of smilies to indicate my positive intent with this response.

Bill Eh? Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I discovered something new here by exploring the link that Rob Hall posted and the link that was included on the rocketfin website as linked by Model Truck Shop. I am always curious about things and tend to pursue them to find out answers for myself. I guess that in hyper text terms https denotes a different address/location than http i need some schooling on this! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL HTTPS just means Secure HTTP...with an SSL certificate for an encrypted connection. Those are used for ecommerce sites or sites where users enter personal information. HTTPS also works over a different TCP/IP port than HTTP, usually 443 instead of 80. Edited August 26, 2018 by Rob Hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Eh? Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Thanks Rob. The concept of additional security I understand. The part about utilizing port 443 as opposed to port 80 goes well beyond my scope of computer knowledge. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) The url with http redirects, not with https. If you type in www.revell.com in your browser, it redirects to the German site. Edited August 26, 2018 by Rob Hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 and including a simple link in the original post would certainly have precluded all this animosity. and made the whole thing much easier to navigate and understand, seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
