I fixed it early this morning. Some server settings weren't what they needed to be.

I think I have the problem fixed. Let me know if you encounter difficulties.

We're getting errors when you try to upload pictures. Text seems to be working fine. I'll fix this as soon as I can. In the meantime, talk amongst yourselves. Thanks, Dave

Thank you for the good news. I hope he has a speedy recovery.

To my knowledge, the surgeries haven't happened yet. I don't know if they've been scheduled yet. I'll update people here as soon as I hear anything significant.

No kidding. Sometimes I think the cats eat better than I do. Then one them brings home a gopher. Caviar is probably super fish to them, and what cat doesn't like fish?

That's a beautiful car. I've never seen a kit for it before. But now, I'll keep my eye out for one.

There's way to much momentum behind self driving cars for it to stop any time soon. I think there will be some not totally unexpected winners. Disabled people, and the elderly will benefit a lot from a self driving car. So will we if people who really shouldn't drive switch to them.

My wife paints lead D&D figures. If you have bare metal, the best thing is to use an etching prep on it. I use Jasco Metal Prep, and it works well. It should work well on the Zamac used in diecast bodies. Properly cleaning and degreasing is also important. Handle the bodies with gloves after you clean them. Definitely use a primer if you're working from bare metal. Other than that, the Tamiya paints, or enamels should work just fine.

Unfortunately, we now have to moderate new members because one individual started creating bogus accounts and threatened to trash the forum. just post some more good stuff and we’ll have you off moderation in a jiffy.

You can typically just insert the pictures by dropping them into the area at the bottom of the text area. You can then decide where they should appear in the text.

The LED lights are hard to beat. They're just about as bright as any CFL you're likely to get, use less energy, and last a very long time.

The cat is actually a she. I’d chase her off of there, but she has intestinal leukemia. It’s well controlled with meds, but I just don’t have the heart.

Congratulations, Steve! Those look super nice.

Wouldn’t that make a very nice sports car? It’s too bad they can’t make a whole bunch of those for the US market?

Post back here or pm me if it’s still a problem tomorrow. There are some timeouts still pending.

PM me if you're still having the problem tomorrow. By then, all the timeouts should have expired.

That's good to hear. We should be rock solid going forward.

I may have esoteric tastes, but I'd buy one of these in a heartbeat.

The fix is now in place. It may take up to 24 hours for the changes to propagate to all corners of the world, but I expect them to take hold much sooner. I don't know why, but Safari seems to be more prone to the problem than other browsers. At least that's been my experience.

I found the source of the problem late last night. Will get it fixed as soon as I can. Thanks for being patient.

People have been reporting problems accessing the forums and the main site. The diagnostic is either site not found, or IP address not found. We've found the root cause, and will be fixing it just as soon as we can. Thanks for being patient. Update: The fix is now in place.

Our hosting company ran into some Directory Name Service problems. It should be cleared up now, but you might have some locally stored information that isn't up to date yet. Clearing your browser cache, or rebooting the computer should clear the problem. Thanks, Dave Ambrose

I watched part of the webcast last night. Just search for Round 2 on YouTube and you’ll find it. I liked that they had a round table discussion. The commentary was generally good. They clearly aren’t comfortable in front of the camera, but I wasn’t expecting a polished production. There’s clearly more going on at that company than we generally acknowledge here, and that was good to see as well. I hope they do these regularly.
