This sounds like presbyopia. I was diagnosed with it at the ripe old age of 45. Get yourself a magnifier lamp. I have one that looks like an adjustable desk lamp with a ring of LEDs around it. Makes all the difference in the world.

Amazingly, their support people are available on weekends. They pointed me to some settings that needed to be changed. I've done that, and I no longer see the extraneous information. Please let me know if you still see it, and where.

Where is this appearing? Is it just certain threads, or perhaps certain sections. I'm going to open a problem ticket with the software vendor. I don't think I'll get any response before Monday.

This is a new one on me, but I think I know what happened. On the left side of the page is a little arrow head facing right. click it. This opens the block manager on the left of the page. Blocks are defined regions on the page that contain data of interest. Scroll up to the top of the block with the information you don't want and click the X and that information should disappear. scroll down the the bottom of the block manager, and click Done Editing. You should be back to normal.

I'm discovering a bunch of little improvements like that. My favorite so far is the border around the reply box with a little blip to make it look like a dialog in a comic book.

We've noticed some problems with people posting pictures from Facebook. Eventually, the links to access them go dead.

iPad should work. I’m writing this post on my iPad. I suspect you need to clear your browser cache, and probably should have mentioned that in my initial message. the above pictures are from previous posting, and a new one from my photo library on my iPad. (Sorry, no model car pics on my iPad.)

We've upgraded the forum software to the current version. I apologize for the short notice, but there was a security patch that needed to be expeditiously installed. There are some minor changes to the forum's appearance, but nothing drastic. Mobile users should see some significant improvements in usability. I'm already noting much better readability on my desktop and tablet. Please let me know if you encounter any problems.

I recently built the Fujimi kit. It goes together reasonably well, but there's no engine. The rest of it looks great.

Nice! Looks a lot like the one in my driveway, except mine has wire wheels.

Tim, our art director, has been picking out good builds to feature in the magazine. 208 is the first issue with forum finds. I can't say you've won anything except recognition for an outstanding build. That said, I'd like to see that change.

Going to lock this and relocate it, there's already a thread going in the MCM sub forum.

That's the stuff. For what it's worth, there seems to be a cadre of model builders who track this on amazon.com. None of my local stores carry it, so I had to order it from there.

I've been leaving pretty generous tips over the last year. I figure they need it, and I can afford it.

We updated our security certificates because the old ones had expired. Clear your browser cache and try again. Here's how to do it on an iPad: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201265

That roughly correlates with our experience. It was more like 2-4 weeks, and our printer is centrally located.

They should be stopped. Are you still getting them?

Advertisers play all sorts of games with Google. It's super tiring. PM a screen shot to me, and I'll see if I can delete that ad in our Google account.

I love Chaparrals. This is an uber fun project. Gonna be following.

Yes, we had a server issue. Should be fixed now. The ads were Google's idea. I told them to stop. I suggested they needed to get more sunshine on their foreheads before making more major decisions. I was not in a good mood.

Thanks! I'll get working on that.

I hadn't actually heard the Coldplay's original before I heard Aimee Mann's cover of The Scientist. Now that I've heard both, I still prefer Aimee's

Out standing subject, and you are doing a great job on it.

Official reminder -- We asked for no COVID discussions except for ways to cope with the pandemic. Getting the vaccine is one thing, discussing the efficacy, policies, and other matters crosses the line into areas we asked you not to discuss. We've hidden a handful of posts. Let's keep it to that. We'd rather not be handing out warnings. Thanks, Dave Ambrose

Thanks. That's a new one for me. I'll keep that in mind when we upgrade the forum software.
