There seem to be more delivery problems than we typically have with a mailed out issue. My canary issue hasn't arrived yet and it's usually here within 2 weeks of mail-out. As an aside, I'm having a lot more delivery problems than usual from the USPS, so something systemic is going on. We're trying to ascertain what. The Postmaster General recently resigned, effective immediately and I suspect they're related.

I was given this Wright Flyer 1 kit. This is the longest box in my stash and the next one up in my queue. Biggest box is a 1/72 scale XB-70 Valkyrie.

The Kenner Hydrodynamic Building set was one of my favorite toys. My dad was a chemical engineer so there might have been some undue influence. I never could build a decent oil refinery with it. 🙂

Please PM me and we'll get the accounts straightened out.

They are supposed to be reworking their model selection. Round 2 announced a distribution deal with Michael's a couple months ago. They probably have to switch paint suppliers, but I don't know who they're switching to. But something should be in the works.

Regarding drag and drop for photos -- That is likely a separate problem. I normally use Chrome on Windows 10/11, and the drag-n-drop is working on that browser. It's also working on Firefox. I will try Safari on Mac later today.

I just removed the limits, and things should go back to our previous behavior. Let me know if you encounter any problems.

I completely misinterpreted that question. I was thinking it was my personal limit. Let me try answering again. If you use the drag and drop feature to upload your pictures, you will get a message when you try to upload a file that's either individually too big, or collectively makes the post too big.

It gets ugly depending on circumstances. Generally speaking, I use facts to refute whatever nonsense is being presented to me as reality. 🙂

My apologies. I screwed up and didn't set some values correctly. I think it's fixed now. I'm sure you'll let me know if it isn't. 🙂 Shamefacedly yours, Dave

We are starting to get tight on server disk space. I've limited the size of individual attachments (pictures and videos) to 10MB. This should be plenty big for most any picture, and I don't think more than a few users will notice a change. Please let me know if you have problems posting pictures.

Thanks! That confirms my hypothesis.

Going to a concert tonight. We scored some awesome seats to see Anoushka Shankar, daughter of Ravi Shankar. Old people may remember him. 🙂

Congratulations! He's a big fellow.

Colors, fonts, and sizes are determined by the forum's theme. Right now, we're using the default theme that comes with the forum software. It's not ideal, but it's what we had to do at the time. We're getting a new and major upgrade some time this year. I'll take a look at what's available, and make some decisions about themes then. Thanks for bringing this up. I know what to look for, and maybe we can figure out some solutions before the new software goes live.
