Hi Kev, This seems to happen with the store sometimes. I've put in multiple support requests to the web hosting company, but they have not found a solution (or even replicated the issue). My suggestion is to try again later, possibly with a different web browser... If you continue to have issues, please contact me directly... Eric

My goal is to make sure these guys are successful... bad enough not having a local IPMS Chapter, but no LHS either? Not fun. Eric

Normally I would probably not post this here, but there is a new HobbyTown USA store in State College, PA which means I don't have to drive ~90 miles to get to the nearest hobby store! 325 Benner Pike, Suite 450 State College, PA 16801 CONTACT (814) 237-3800 hobbytownsc@msn.com http://www.hobbytown.com/State_College-PA/

We're also working on updating the NCC info on the IPMS site... note quite done yet, but we're making progress. Eric

Indycals is also going to be a distributor of Ebbro kits starting soon... and he will be including his decal sets and such with them.... Eric

Hi, I will probably be building a similar map on the IPMS web server at some point using the actual Chapter info that is current and maintained by the DLC. The demo map I built was only for 'fun' and is not easy to maintain. Eric

These might also work if you can find someone who has them in stock... http://www.hiroboy.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=47&products_id=2476 Eric

Flickr still seems to generate the correct BBCode ... IMG_0582 by aitala_1999, on Flickr

I see no way to share images posted in Shutterfly other than creating a public album and posting links to that... Eric

It looks like the new Beta Photobucket has broken the IMG thumb code option as it no longer contains the thumbnail linked to the image in the PB gallery.. Which would look like... [url=http://s1013.photobucket.com/albums/af251/eric_aitala/?action=view&current=644676-R1-00-25.jpg] [img=http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af251/eric_aitala/th_644676-R1-00-25.jpg][/url] And render like... Eric

The images you linked are the thumbnails so that's what being displayed. What's the link for the full gallery on Photobucket? Eric

Can you point me to one of the shutterfly images you are trying to post? And which Forum area are you trying to post in? Eric

Hi Don, You might want to check out www.f1m.com in the Forum section to see if anyone can help and you might also want to visit http://www.iconautomotiveminiatures.com . Eric

I have to share something that I am working on.... it should look familiar. Still very much in progress... Eric

The Joe Honda books - http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?SeriesID=4583&Dis=2 - are really useful for F1 scale modelers... Eric

Their web site looks like it is OK now. Eric

Hi, It looks like Trumpeter's web site (http://www.trumpeter-china.com) has triggered a Google Malware warning which may show up in your browser. It might be a good idea to avoid it for the next few days until it is cleared up. Eric

The 'limit excessive use' clause is the key here - that can literally mean anything. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photobucket Eric

You should also check the Terms of Service - 'unlimited number of images' most likely will not be... Eric

HI, I set this up from the current data which is somewhat limited when it comes to locations as the street address of the Chapter meetings are lumped in with the meeting dates... so I'm placing the chapter via the City & State data. Also a few Chapters did not process correctly... I may be able to edit the existing map or make a new one, but it may take a little time. As for the San Diego Clubs, both are listed on the same 'pin' - look for the '1 - 2 > ' at the bottom right of the popup to toggle between the two.. Same thing for the two clubs in Memphis, TN. Eric
