Ratch Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 This site will be undergoing a few changes. On Tuesday 13 Feb this site will be migrated by Invision to a new host. We are assured that no content currently on this site will be lost and that the new host format will be live on Wednesday 14 February 2024.So, for a period, the site will not be accessible. When it re-appears it will look very similar to how it looks now, but there will be a few different and enhanced functions for you to try out. Please be patient. Patrick and I have been experimenting with a dummy forum (trying to break it), and it has some exciting features. You can continue posting here, in the meantime, and resume posting once the migration has taken place.Looking forward to seeing you all there.

null_null981707818191 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I wonder if that means that all the 'lost' images will be rediscovered lurking somewhere in the ether...But good news if it's going to mean that the migration should make the site better - and hopefully more user-friendly! Thanks for testing it for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 I wonder if that means that all the 'lost' images will be rediscovered lurking somewhere in the ether... I'm afraid not. The question has been asked. All images that we see now will remain and the stuff that was lost cannot be recovered.There are some attractive features they hope you all enjoy.

Looks like Airfix have had an experience similar to that of Basil Fawlty with O'Reilly the builder; the lowest quote doesn't guarantee a decent job.grinning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleD Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Early days but looks good so far - easy to spot new posts without going into the subforms . Am I right in thinking that you are able to private message like the Tapatalk forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marto Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Not so keen, can see Scaletrix and Hornby comments which I have Zero interest in. I liked things being sorted by category too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marto Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 It is also not possible to delete or edit posts once posted, so not great overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntpntpntp Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) @Marto I've managed to edit posts no problem. Just use the ellipsis menu on the right as we did in the old forum (there, I've just edited this post 🙂 ) Not tried deleting one yet. [edit] I don't see an option to delete a post.

I liked things being sorted by category too. Similar for me, I really only want to see the Hornby forums, and it feels like there's a "layer" missing - no easy way to see the main topic areas. Yes you can fiddle around with the "tick list" on the right to change the filtering, but I don't think that's as good a method. "Unread Content" seems to show everything across the whole community. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Oddly moderators see a delete option. This has been flagged up the chain along with the mal-content about site navigation across multiple brands, so no point keeping on about it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntpntpntp Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) I notice we're currently earning "badges" for activity (I've earnt 2 so far this morning!) , they're a bit of an unnecessary gimmick IMO.

ntpntpntp Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I notice that the post I edited 6 hours ago no longer gives me the Edit option on the ellipsis menu - is there a timeout after which you cannot edit a post any more? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge1965 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I am unable to edit any of my posts in the new forum as well.. So its now just you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 It has been reported several times that there is a one time edit. This may be a glitch or a feature. It will be flagged for an answr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
