Xingu

Well, actually those could be for blind passengers in the back seat. The ADA, while not perfect, does make life a bit more normal for the disabled. The sign is a bit confusing though. I think it is because there is a driveway or intersection around a curve that can't be seen.

I agree with a lot of this. The problem is, at some point, the one-clickers will finally start typing responses like "why is Xingu the only one responding, he thinks he knows everything"

There is good information in a lot of old threads, even if the photo links are broken. Clearly the old threads have some valve, since folks seem to go back to view them from time to time (even if it is just to complain about them). I for one don't want to go thru a million posts to find the ones that are missing photos and then try to determine if there is still any value to the post. Everyone needs to stop worrying about the old threads, they are not going anywhere. At least until we reach a hard limit on space, then we MAY look into archiving threads prior to a certain date. If you are worried about old threads, just check the date it was started before you click on it. The start date is listed right below the thread title. This site provides a lot of information, even about the old threads, if you take the time to look for and read it.

I think this thread has run it's course and we have all the useful information we are going to get.

Lets keep this on-topic. Please don't start posting random other cars in this thread. You can start new threads to discuss the other cars and paint schemes.

Seems like we have all the same arguments/discussions about the "Like" button every year or so. I don't think anyone has changed their view on it yet.

No, but when comments start being directed at other members instead of the kit I am going to step in and remind everyone to take a breath and watch what they post. We are many pages of comments past asking for help. We just need to keep it respectful.

It's OK to trash the model/kit if you like, but DO NOT start trashing other members of this board. Don't make things personal, not everyone has the skill set or desire.

I think it will be sold to an anonymous buyer after the auction is over. I think this auction may just be advertising that it is for sale.

For Fotki, click Share, then click the text for Image URL for use on other sites:, wait for it to say that it has been copied. Then paste the info into your post. I believe this will pull the photo from the Fotki site every time someone views the post with the thread. That means photos will NOT show if link changes or Fotki site is down. That procedure should be similar for most photo hosting sites. Again, it is better if you directly upload your photo directly to the board. As long as the site is up, the photos will be here and visible.

Just a reminder to everyone - Use this thread for small updates on projects that there are not separate WIP threads on. No need to post it here AND in the Workbench section. We are trying to cut down on the double update posts.

Cleared it from this thread.

For the record, it doesn't matter if you add to an old thread or start a new one on a topic already discussed, just like it doesn't matter if we have threads complaining about it. It all adds to the discussion. Sometimes we merge threads (usually if they were started about the same time) sometimes we allow multiple threads on previously covered subjects. There is no scientific or mathematical formula that we follow. Generally we ask, "does it hurt anyone?" (butt hurt doesn't count here) when we decide to get involved as moderators. While it would be nice to have a single thread with all the information on a subject, it just isn't practical. Some folks will not search for old threads. Some folks will not read through long threads. Some foks want quick short answers. Some folks want longer, more technical answers. It also can help the board to have multiple "hits" when someone does a google search on a modeling subject. Moral of the story: You can be on either side of the fence here, but we aren't going to be forcing folks to do one or the other anytime soon.

I went back and reread the whole thing. Should have been shut down earlier.

This smells a lot like politics. Steer clear or it will be shut down.

I see it in this thread.

I am guessing that this is a setting that is activated on the admin side as default with the new software. There is probably a views or posting threshold that automatically activates it. I am sure Dave will look into it when he gets a chance. I have seen it on a few threads and do not see an easy way to turn it off (without a lot of trial and error)

Calling a kit lousy and leaving it at that is not a review.

Moved to General. Will move back to WIP if we see any progress.

I learned to drive and parallel park in a custom 1976 Dodge van. The driving test was a breeze when I took it it my mother's 1978 Monte Carlo.

That is just someone who sees an old box or advertising they can sell. It would be better if they took the sprue out. Modelers won't buy it but someone into collecting "old stuff" might buy it.

They could have named this vehicle anything. Calling it a Mustang got them a lot of free press, good and bad.

I flagged this for Dave. Is your Inbox full? Have you deleted old messages?

Upper right hand corner there should be a small version of your avatar and your name. Click it and account settings is in there. There are a lot of options you can change/modify.

Message Dave Ambrose, but generally, we do not do name changes.
