I will see if any of my European members know anything... Eric

What I find odd is that the Forum software has not changed when we moved to the new server... can't figure out why folks are having the cursor issue. Really makes no sense... Eric

Hey, If anyone is interested I am testing out the use of RSS Feeds for the public areas of the site. At the moment I only have feeds for the General Information and Model Building areas. I may divide the Model feed into the subtopics at some point. If you don't know what RSS Feeds are, just click the link. I find them useful for a number of things and follow a couple other Forums using their feeds. Eric

Wow, the surface is really not nice... I've seen smoother garage kit resin... Eric

It appears that Tamiya is also jumping on the Lotus bandwagon - they are producing a Lotus 79 kit as well! It should be out in late May. Not sure when Hasegawa's will come out. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10114361 Eric

Looks really nice... Eric

I put a note up on the Model Car Magazine Forum. Eric

It may take a couple days to sort all the permissions out - IP Board does a very nice job of hiding things all over the place. There are actually 2 (or mebbe 3) levels of permissions which can all interact in odd ways. Its not the way would have done things... Eruc

I think we are set for the new folks... if you log out and hit the main forum page, you'll be able to see the Forum FAQ and Ask the IPMS sections as a non-logged in (guest) user. And anyone should be able to register ... Eric

Hmm... looks like the FF upgrades are not compatible with some code within the Forum software. I hate to say it but there probably is not much I can do for the moment. There is an upgrade to IPBoard, but it is a big one (a complete new version) and I hoped to avoid it for a while... There are a number of things I need to handle first... Eric

I have the missing cursor in FF 3.6.3 and Win 7, but I can enter text... since that's how I am doing this post... Very odd.... E

Hmmm... in FF 3.6.2, I don't see a cursor show up in the reply box, but I can enter text with no problem. I can highlight existing text in the quote as well. I don't have a Vista system, just XP and Win7. Can you not enter any text or is it the missing cursor issue.. Eric

Actually Firefox is up to version 3.6 for Windows... Eric

Ah, drat... I don't have a Win7 system yet... Can you try in IE and see what happens? Eric

What operating system, browser are you using? Version numbers for each, too.. Eric

Can you provide an example of a thread where this is occurring? Eric

On the Share >> More Options pop up window, Select Get Link code, and check only the 'IMG for bulletin boards & forums' box Then in the 'Share this image' box next to the image will always have the correct code which uses the square brackets... E

Safari has a built in security checker which uses a Google system to check for malware. I am wondering if one of the Flash ads has an issue. I did get the same warning after I went back, but it has not reappeared... E

OK, I just created an account... Here is what I did using my MacBook Pro and Safari 4.0.4... Added a pic. Went to image page. Placed cursor over image - displays a menu at top. Selected 'Share..' pulldown. Selected 'More Options'. Selected Get Link Code tab Grabbed text link from 'IMG for bulletin boards & forums' Pasted below.

You mean directly posting a pic on the forum or giving a link to a Photobucket pic? E

I would contact MJ at manager@ipmsusa.org Eric

NASCAR is gone from scale modeling because of licensing issues. Its just not worth Revell-Monogram's time and energy to build all new toolings for the new cars and try to sell them at a price folks will pay when you add on the fees the various parties want... For example, Tamiya's re-issues of old F1 kits are missing the Goodyear logo decals because of licensing even though some kits have logos in the rubber sidewalls of the tires... Folks are getting greedy and only the lawyers are really raking in the dough. E

They also did limited run F1 kits.. in plastic and resin, I think. Eric
