Army_Air_Force Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Anyone know when the moderators are back from the Christmas/New Year break? I made a post with pictures, in the military vehicles section a few days ago and don't know if it just hasn't been moderated yet or whether it failed to upload?I don't want to try and repost and duplicate it, if its just waiting for moderation!Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 They don't tell us stuff like that, but seeing that they'll be announcing the 2020 range on Jan 6 they'll be back by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Army_Air_Force Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 Thanks. I'll check back next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2B Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I think the moderator will be very busy on Monday morning when they probably return!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Army_Air_Force Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 It would appear that Airfix haven't gone back to work yet!! 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Some news that we have recently learned over at the Hornby Forum, that the Adminstrator has left, so it looks as if posts with images that need approving will be waiting for a long time yet, before they do finally get approved. I do believe that this post will be of interest to many users: Hornby Forum - Forum Adminstrator - UPDATE. GNR-Gordon-4 (AF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebeep Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 The Community Mods were aware of this, personally I never mentioned it because I was waiting for an announcement from Admin, but it hasn't been forthcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2B Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 That goes some way to explain why posts I made nearly 3 weeks ago haven't been moderated! Am guessing even thought they knew this guy was leaving they done have anyone who can cover his role until they find a permanent replacement??!

T2B Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Doesn't help the rest of us minions who want to post images of our work and completed models?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Post somewhere where they allow you to show images without having to go through the moderating process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 OK, I did not know that the Community Moderators on this forum knew about it. I assume then that all Community Moderators on all of the forums, know about the Adminstartor's depature. I am sorry for making the announcement, but it appeared that members here on the Airfix Forum were wondering why it is taking so long for their images to be approved, so I thought I would share the information that I have learned over at the Hornby Forum. I hope that's alright? GNR-Gordon-4 (AF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebeep Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Doesn't help the rest of us minions who want to post images of our work and completed models?!! Only somebody with access to the forum control panel can approve images, the mods don't have any such access. I understand everyone's frustration and to be honest I think it's unacceptable that we're in this situation and that there's been no announcement to tell members what's going on.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Thank you. 😀 I just kept reading posts here at the Airfix Forum, where people asking when there images will be approven and that won't be for a while yet. I don't think admin would post any of the fourms the update, as there is no Adminstrator, by sounds of things, hence why no images are being approved presently.

Wasn't a dig at Comm Mods. Not their problem though you are in a better position than the rest of us lol! And normally I stick up for Airfix when I can but on this occasion you would think they would have someone able to cover the role as I'd suggest the Forum running smoothly would be an important part of the business module? And also they don't do themselves any favours with not communicating with their customers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebeep Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I didn't regard it as a dig at the comm mods. We don't have any inside track other than Adam telling us he was away on Christmas Eve IIRC. To be brutally honest, with the number of people that post regularly on the forum (I'm sure a lot more are lurking), Airfix probably don't regard the forum as crucially important. It's not running on up to date software and they don't throw a whole lot of resources at it. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Earth Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Oooops - Sorry guys !I was late in getting to this tread - not until after I re-posted an original post two more times.I figured that I had an upload problem. Feel free to delete the redundant posts ! 😳Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebeep Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I'm advised by customer services that IT are reviewing posts on a daily basis pending appointment of a new admin. If you're still having difficulty getting images approved please say so and I will give them a prod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2B Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Yes RSM I do like getting feedback (hopefully positive) from like-minded people so enjoy using the forum. Cos basically the better half ain't interested!! Oh and the uploading of images would seem to be happening again so all is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJC Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I can't really add any more, only to confirm and back up what's been said. Also I think it of value to say that my understanding is that the Aifrix team is much smaller than might be imagined; the glory days of the 70s when there were perhaps dedicated staff for such things are long gone - not that we had anything like the internet back then anyway, So yes, I know it's frustrating - I want to see everyone's builds as much as everyone wants to post them - but all we can do as ask for patience in the meantime.
