WOW! I really like the new "LOOK!" The You Tube video posting is a great addition. Maybe I'll learn how to do it. Nah! LL~

See if I can drop a photo in. Looked like they were gone a bit back.

Sparky, are you in the AMA Hall of Fame?

Update on this. I clicked on "Reading View" icon, then clicked a second time to come back to std view and now the webpage is back to using the full width..

"Modify" feature working.

Paul,
How is the P47 working for you? I'm building one of Billy's also, but mine will be a slimmer of course with a PA75.

I would be very interested in your comments.

Randy Cuberly

Sparky,
PS: The new system seems slick and faster than the old one! Is that because of better compatibility with the server.

Sparky,
PS: The new system seems slick and faster than the old one! Is that because of better compatibility with the server.

Yes, they updated the server and it was updated with PHP7 and it threw our old code into a tail spin. All code has been updated with an SSL cert (padlock top of URL address bar) It has made a huge difference in Hobby orders from overseas.

While all info here has been secure on this forum in the past. It is now 128 bit encrypted and totally secured, that is until the next 12-year-old kid writes some code to bypass it.

Title: Re: Okay everyone give the new forum a test ride
Post by: Dick Pacini on June 30, 2017, 10:10:12 AM: I am going to guess that the new server is perhaps a better financial deal than the previous one. If so, Sparky is looking out for us.

Post by: RC Storick on June 30, 2017, 10:19:24 AM: We are still on the same server box we have been on for 11 years. It never gets cheaper as it grows is only costs more.

Me likee the green...blue not so much. Oh, it's a fine color and all, but the green seemed easier to see or something...for me. y1 Steve

PS: I posted the picture...not because of the "color", but FYI...little known fact from WWI. Also, I am curious to see if the photo title will show, as it previously did. I hope so.

When I went to SH before, if it was green background, I knew I was logged in. If it was blue background, I knew I was logged out, due to a glitch or something. H^^ Steve

MOD only appears on your own messages, and won't show on other messages in the same thread.

Bill

Just noticed there are two different Mod buttons on each of my messages, but the second button only shows an icon without the text "Modify" next to the icon. Appears to perform the same functions.

Robert, and since I seem to be the only guy who likes to Preview the entire post --with the images--- it is not worth your time to find and add in an Image AND Text preview if this software even has it.

On some of my other forums I can do my text...add in an image, do some more text, ad in a second or more images...then preview to see how far my text about that image is above or below the image. I also get to see if my image is a good size for the detail I was trying to show
