sjordan2 Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 One thing I like about this site and which makes it the best of its type is that Gregg doesn't care about mentioning "the other site" and sees it as complementary to the enjoyment of the hobby, though they don't allow mention of MCM. Anyway, I've been unable to access their forum today – just get a blank screen. Anyone else having problems? (Maybe MCM isn't the only one that gets hacked.)
Chuck Most Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Just went over and logged in for the first time in forever... everything seems to be working fine.
sjordan2 Posted April 23, 2011 Author Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) I was having the same problem myself. I wonder if we've had our accounts deleted. Could this be related to the thread you posted there recently about the two forums, and which I replied to (but all I said was that I preferred SAM's search feature)?

Nick Notarangelo Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 I gave up on the other one almost a year or so ago so no worries on my part
Jordan White Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 I don't think it would matter if your account is deleted or not. I've been looking there lately and not logging in, and I'm getting a blank screen right now as well.
Chuck Most Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Okay... NOW I'm only getting a blank screen... Was working just fine.
Dr. Cranky Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Other site? What other site? Doctor Cranky has never been to that OTHER site. He runs the Lab-RAT-ory exclusively out MCM and the great model building community here!
moparfarmer Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Been on the Spotlight forum a bunch today and checked in here after being there. Went to SA and I, like others just got a blank screen. Maybe when Jenny put tape over Jims mouth in the preview of next month there was a shakeup......Like it here although I've only been checking it for the last few months. Have to renew my subscription though. Can't buy MCM here in Winnipeg.
Zoom Zoom Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) The SA site is working fine for me. It was down last night or earlier today. In the meantime: Edited April 23, 2011 by Zoom Zoom

I don't think it would matter if your account is deleted or not. I've been looking there lately and not logging in, and I'm getting a blank screen right now as well. Yeah Skip, Jordan is right. I just tried to get on in and got the same white screen you did, and I didn't even know about the thread you mentioned to Don over there until now! No big loss though, that's the first I even used the shortcut for there in at least a month! This is my home, they are just like going to the inlaws, I only go once in a great while!!
Zoom Zoom Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Oh, okay, it hasn't had anything posted since 1PM and seems down again. I still get the "new posts" page but can't open anything.
SuperStockAndy Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 I don't visit it very much (WAAAAY TOO SLOW), but I got on today and it worked fine. When I saw this thread and tried to get on, I couldn't...

Zoom Zoom Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 By the way, Bob, what font is that and where did you get it? A website in the UK lets you make your own here
Harry P. Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Other site? What other site? Doctor Cranky has never been to that OTHER site. He runs the Lab-RAT-ory exclusively out MCM and the great model building community here! We have a few switch-hitters among us...
sjordan2 Posted April 23, 2011 Author Posted April 23, 2011 A website in the UK lets you make your own here Many thanks. For decades, that appears to have been an official British government font for signage throughout the country, and it will be helpful in builds revolving around my 30s Rolls and Jaguar SS 100 kits.
sjordan2 Posted April 23, 2011 Author Posted April 23, 2011 So what? Just checking to see if I'm having a computer problem, which happens occasionally. That's all, no need to shout.
Dr. Cranky Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 LOL! George that's Doctor Cranky's twin brother, the OTHER Cranky whose first name folks found a little off-putting! :lol:
Harry P. Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Just checking to see if I'm having a computer problem, which happens occasionally. That's all, no need to shout. Easiest way to do that is to just go to some other sites and see if they work. If they do, then the problem isn't on your end, the problem is with the site that isn't working.
DRG Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Considering the fact that this post got 24 answers I just thought I'd let you know it's back up and running. Sorry Harry.
