They are a bit like real-life boats and model railroads. There's always something you could do to them. I think if the diorama feels done to you, you can put some pictures into the Under Glass section.

AFX, is this page loading slowly for you?

I reenabled new posts to this group. We'll be moving it down to community in the near future.

Unfortunately, we've eliminated that possibility. A few people are getting slow response when they're logged in, and fast response when they aren't logged in. I did some database maintenance that I was hoping would at least alleviate the problem, but it hasn't done so. I'll open a support ticket with the forum software vendor later this week.

I just found and fixed the problem. It should work normally now.

Thanks you all. I’m glad people like this new layout. Xingu, aka Mike Hill, came up with it. He certainly deserves a round of applause. I think it’s going to work a lot better going forward.

Welcome back. I’m glad you made it through. I hope your recovery continues to go well.

Rats — I’ll keep investigating.

Yes, if it’s under construction, it should remain in on the workbench.

Which area?

There was a glitch. I fixed it.

Fixed the problem. You should be good to go. Thanks for catching that!

We finished out maintenance and reorganization. As you can see, things are different, and we've combined truck and cars in some places, like here. Not all the content is where it needs to be yet. In the coming days, we'll be going through some of the sub-forums, like NASCAR and Drag Racing, to pull out the posts that are strictly finished models and move them to the relevant section of Under Glass. We'll also be segregating the Wanted and Trade posts in the truck section. Once we're done, that section will go away. We're preventing people from posting new topics in sub-forums that will be going away. You may continue to reply to existing topics in those sub-forums. We've added an Other Racing category in both On the Workbench and Under Glass sections. This for any race cars that don't fit Drag or NASCAR categories. Those of you wondering where to put your Indy cars need wonder no more, Please, please, please, post any problems, or comments about our new layout in the How to Use this Board section, and not here in General. I know some of you were having trouble with slow performance. I think we've fixed that now. Let me know if we haven't. And, as an aside, this board has 2.2 million posts. Thanks, and let me know if there are any problems in How to Use This Board.

Welcome back. I was wondering what had become of you. This is going to be very cool.

There can be little doubt. This is a stressful time for everyone. How are you all holding up?

I tweaked the settings again. They should be better. I'm sure you'll let me know if they aren't. ?

I've located a possible cause. I'll be addressing that this week.

I'm so sorry. Saying goodbye to a pet is one of the hardest things we do.

I like this build a lot. My first-ever new car was a '78 FIAT 131. Great car once I rescued it from the professional FIAT mechanics. What engine is this? It's not the factory engine I remember.

We’re having a lot of dislocation in San Diego too. I don’t anticipate any in-person meetings until June, and we're trying to relocate our contest to September. It’s a pain, but I’d rather do this than attend funerals. We lost enough members last year.

Sorry, my adjustments didn't work. I'll try again.

This is, ironically, one of my John Prine favorites. You can play it at my funeral.

They should be less obnoxious now. I adjusted the settings, and I'll be the first to admit, I'm no expert in this area. We are bringing in some outside expertise, and making the ads more relevant will be one of their goals. I'm sure you'll all leave me plenty of feedback. Thanks, Dave

I know the feeling. Those are some interesting pictures above your build table.

That summarizes our situation quite nicely. I’m ready to drive to Mountain View and throttle someone.
