The magazine was given to the post office last week. It is taking them longer than we'd like for the US Postal Service to deliver them.

Unfortunately, I’m out of town. I’ll take a look at this as soon as I get back.

I can give you a more detailed answer when I get back home, but make sure you have JavaScript enabled for this site. That’s what changes the page, I it’s disabled, you won’t be able to load subsequent pages.

My daughter and I were traveling to an event at Fremont Peak State Park, which is south of Gilroy. Traffic suddenly slows to a crawl. Get down a bit and discover why. A northbound truck hit the center divider and dumped an entire produce bin of garlic into the southbound lanes. It was pretty well mushed up when we got there and the odor was very strong. My FIAT seemed happier about it than I was, and thankfully they routed us onto the shoulder.

Is this using the “breadcrumb” menu at the top of the page?

What a neat project, and very well done.

That's just disturbing. I'll revisit our settings. <sigh>

I have a different system. I use Kleenex for a lot of things and have a roll of the blue paper shop towels handy. I'm not shy about tearing them down the middle for a smaller sheet. Between these two, I usually get what I need. If neither of those are good enough, out come the actual shop towels (with their attendant semi-annual washing and post clothes washer cleaning ritual).

Turns out the server problem wasn't entirely fixed. We have it fixed now. Please let me know if you have any problems accessing the forums.

We should have the issue fixed now. Turns out it was on the server side. Got it fixed today.

Try clearing your browser cache and let me know if that resolves your problem.

I know the frustration a lot of us feel. But, we decided a while back that we wouldn't be discussing COVID-19 on this forum. I will say that in any situation like this, our understanding evolves as new data becomes available. That's normal and you just have to roll with it.

We have two intersecting problems. One was on the server and was actually fixed a few days ago. The other is with Chrome browser. It's caching something it shouldn't. In our case, a very old encryption certificate. I haven't figured out a solution for this yet. So far, none of the published methods work in the current version of Windows.

I haven't seen those yet. I'll see what I can do with the settings.

I've narrowed this down to some kind of problem with Google's Chrome browser. So far, all the published solutions for this don't work. I feel so special. But, you can either proceed, or use a different browser. Edge, FireFox, or Safari should all work fine.

We have a set of certificates to ensure that we are who we say we are. One of these got messed up in the renewal process. This is turning into a royal pain in the brain.

I'm still working on this. Should have it fixed shortly. And for the record, I hate SSL certificates. ?

If you have Netflix, I recommend Ancient Geniuses. Unfortunately, it goes away on the 31st.

Answering that question would take this topic straight into the political realm. We don't do that here. I'm locking this topic so it doesn't get out of hand.

These are great kits for people new to the hobby. Low parts count lets them focus on painting and all the other stuff that's now embedded itself into our lizard-brains and never enters our consciousness.

Yes, they did. Us kids in CA, where it never rains during summer had them.

Got the replacement. Damaged the same way. Is there a special machine that stomps packages they don't like? First Fedex, now the Postal Service. Come to think of it, I think the USPS contracts out some operations to Fedex. Say what you will about Amazon, but I don't have these kinds of issues with shipments they handle. (Now I wonder if this wasn't part of their motivation for starting their own deliveries.) Roberto from The Petersen has been so nice and helpful that it was painful writing the damaged-shipment email. Poor guy deserves better.

I do apologize. I completely missed the significance of that. We should be good for the moment, and I'll figure out some kind of migration plan when it gets to that point.

There aren't any quotes around the tags. In the post, they're just the tags. I felt like I needed to set them apart somehow. This caught me off guard. I didn't even know we had supported them until this morning. My first level assumption is that Invision will give us a way to convert them to their equivalent HTML tags. If not, I can get into the forum database, and convert the postings programmatically. That might take a few hours, as we are somewhere north of 2 million posts. I will follow up with Invision, and see what the future plan is. In the interim, I've reenabled them, so they should work the way they used to for the time being.

I think I know what's going on. There are " and " tags around your images. Those seem to mess everything up. If you just paste the straight URL (the text between the tags), the board is smart enough to identify them as images and embed them into your post. You can also tell it to embed them as links if you prefer. I'll see if there isn't some setting that I need to tweak and post back here if I find anything. For the time being at least, skip those tags and everything should work fine. Update: BBCodes were deprecated in the new version. I assume that at some point, they'll remove the support altogether. I reenabled them, but we should stop using them.
