  1. Same here.
  2. I clicked the Share button on the Youtube video I wanted to post, then clicked copy (you will get a quick message saying it was copied to clipboard), then I went to my post and right clicked in the text box and pasted the link. Popped right up like above.
  3. Are you pasting in the link to your post?
  4. I am assuming they get paid for how many times it shows up as well. Probably get extra if someone clicks it. Dave spends a lot of time tweaking the ads. The ad companies do everything possible to to circumvent the filters. That is how inappropriate ads sometimes make it through.
  5. Ads show up for everyone. Doesn't matter if you are registered or not. The ads continually find ways around the constraints we put on them. It is an ongoing game of Us vs. Them.
  6. I am getting notifications that are now going directly to junk folder.
  7. Just want to remind everyone that the site has rules about language. Do not curse here, do not change the letters around or use symbols to get past the filter and do not use acronyms. This is a family friendly site.
  8. I am just going to lock this one before it gets started. This will only lead to political discussions and people given 30 day timeouts.
  9. That would probably be a question for those at Scale Auto, Fine Scale Modeler or their publishers. We have nothing to do with them and wouldn't know what their intentions are.
  10. All the Big Boyz have been merged with the other models, be it car or trucks. There is no longer a separate section for them. You can use the Tag function and call it out as a Big Boy, Large Scale or whatever you like.
  11. The Corsair is my all-time favorite aircraft. I would learn to fly if I could fly one. Watching this F-22 at an airshow made me a fan. It does things that I never would have thought an aircraft could do. (this is one of the best aircraft photos that I have taken)
  12. Go to Account Setting>Notification Settings and make sure everything is clicked/selected the way you want it. It is usually just a setting that isn't correct. If that doesn't fix it, post what you did here and Dave can look at it on the server side to make sure everything is working properly.
  13. The only one that can answer these questions is Larry (and maybe Dave) who actually does not come around here much. Any of you try to message or email him?
  14. In the edit pane you can click just above the quoted text window to delete it completely. You can use your mouse and position the cursor just about anywhere in the edit pane. You can also click just below the quoted text window and type your response there. (See the end of the quoted text above, in case you missed it)
  15. Posts are shown in the order they are received. You can also click the + sign to multi quote, which can be used to respond to several different posts in a single post.
  16. The local Ford dealer has a $500k GT sitting on the showroom floor. From what I hear, it would take upwards of million dollars to get them to sell it.
  17. I may have worded it a bit harsh. So instead of "screwing us over", how about "essentially abandon us." It all just rubs me the wrong way. I feel like they are trying to fleece our little niche market one last time. Here buy this one magazine, sure it is three times as much as a regular issue, but it is full of all the how-to stuff you always wanted us to put in the magazine. Oh and we were able to charge our advertisers extra because it is a special issue. (That is more baseless speculation by the way) I also look at as, what if MCM were to do this 6 months or a year ago. Imagine the uproar, not from everyone of course, but there would be a VERY vocal group of folks on here posting every negative thing they could manage. Which, ironically, we would allow them to do, unlike SA. They would have immediately removed the posts, that made them look bad, and possibly the accounts that posted them. Yes, everyone can make their own decision as if to buy it or not. I will not get it directly from the publisher, but I may get one on eBay next year for $2 plus shipping though. I have said my piece, explained my piece and I will not let it go.
  18. Given the things we had to listen to over the last few years, I think I am allowed to throw some baseless speculation out there. There are threads full of it here, about MCM. I also did say that I didn't look at the link, kinda takes the baseless speculation aspect away when you do that. Glad to see how folks defend SA, now maybe you can see where we were coming from. Water tastes a little different when you drink it from the other mug. For the record I subscribed to MCM, SA and FSM. I now only subscribe to one.
  19. Oh, I know other magazines do it. Most other magazines don't do it right after they canceled your subscription and try to get you hooked on something else. Just rubs me wrong is all.
  20. Without even looking at it, I bet it is reprinted articles from already published magazines all compiled into one place. Probably costs less than $20. Most who will buy it, already have the the articles, if they would just look for them. I personally would not give them another dime, now that they have screwed over our segment of the hobby.
  21. I don't think you guys are going to provide anything new and useful for the OP. Going to lock it here.
  22. Bought myself wheels and tires for Christmas. Going to get it back on the road again. Been sitting for over 15 years.
  23. There are some larger paint jars that do not fit into a nail polish display/holder. Just double check the dimensions to make sure it works for the paints you want to put in it.
  24. They both mean the same thing, there are posts in that particular thread that you have not read. Click on it and it will take you to the first unread post. The star just means that you have posted a comment in that thread. FYI - You can hover your mouse over most things on this board and it will tell you what it does.
