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.

Looks like we're getting more AI engines scraping our site. They don't play well, and can bog down the server causing slow response for the humans using the forums.

She would make a spectacular artificial reef. The aircraft carrier, Oriskany, is now an artificial reef. Don't know how popular she is, but I'd like to dive her. As for environmental impact, they are good, so long as they get properly prepared. The extra iron in the water encourages plankton, which is the base of the marine food chain. Things just work up from there. Prep will be complicated as doorways will need to be welded shut to keep divers out. Wreck penetration requires special equipment and training. It is not a casual diving activity. But, stupid people sometimes try it anyway and earn their Darwin Awards.

Interesting idea. We do have our dealer list on the main website. Another very useful list would be the model car clubs. The challenge with these lists is maintaining them. We don't have the personnel available right now. but it's definitely in our future plans.

I have a Jo-Han Chrysler Turbine Car kit. Got it at NNL West for an entirely reasonable price. I plan to build it, but my kids know to check the price on that one after I'm gone.

You might run into a problem when you have to login again. Just use your email address instead of your screen name, and you should be fine.

I just disabled display names as your login name. It's not quite 11 on the Left Coast of the US, and official company time is Hawai'i standard time. 🙂

We've started mailing issue 226. We apologize for the delay, and hope you find it worth the wait.

If the decals are old, you can coat them with Microscale decal film. That does a great job of keeping old decals together, and doesn't make them noticeably thicker.

I saw that video too. I too am a big Dan Gurney fan. He and Albert Einstein were my childhood heroes. I don't have any '61 Impalas in my stash. I will be keeping an eye out for one now.

Spring is here. My allergies have gone off and the snake is demanding a mouse.

Send me a PM with the particulars.

I see that too and I don't know why that happened. I think it will automagically [sic] fix itself in a couple of days. Let me know if it doesn't.

I'm not exactly a spring chicken either. But, I still have some essential skills.

I may have bought a telescope today. It will be for my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. Need to replace the finder scope and go through the optics to make sure they're in good order before I give it to them.

The only change is to your login credentials. Your forum name will continue to be used as it has been. Bad actors have used the screen name, and a weak password to hack accounts, leaving us to clean up the resulting mess. It isn't desirable, but this is the world we live in, and realism is far more functional than denial. We have had incidents where forum members were being pursued and harassed via their locations here. Their situation was serious enough to warrant removing them for the entire board. If you want to advertise your location, you're free to do so in your signature block.
