Starship Modeler Discussion Forums

Was anybody able to talk to a moderator or may John last weekend??

If any of you guys are going to Wonderfest and run into John or one of the moderators would you let them know about the problems with the forums?? I would except I'm staying home.

Been getting the same message for other sites as well. Could be my laptop needs cleaning out.

Just tried logging onto HT and got a page which said hmmmm, can't reach this page, or something to that effect. Been getting this the past couple of days over there.

Why did I even think about saying something about a doctor operating on themselves.

LIke a doctor operating on themselves or a lawyer on trial representing themselves, either one bad idea.

Same here.

When I hit the back button upper left corner of the screen it goes instantly, but If I click on a say Thunderdome it takes several seconds. Also around here we've has some pretty nice weather lately up into the 70s or 80s and I live in a building just over a hundred years old with no AC and the heat...

Went and logged into HT before SSM this evening and just before that I turned on my desk top fan, no problems so far.

Just a few minutes ago I went to click the moves books index and got a page informing me that SSM was not available or something to that effect. Had to reboot.

Back last fall when this site was having problems I would either hit refresh or reboot.

I've run into too many requests a couple of times, don't recall when or what I was wanting to look at, also I don't have chrome but I do have micro soft edge, hate the thing.

If you're referring to who started this thread it was Widget, if not then take your pick.

I think most of us are still here. Have not seen some names on here in a long time, before technical problems began interfering with things.

shouldn't that be all present and accounted for??

It was either Dragnet or Adam=12, both of which were created by Jack Webb, and I want to say he did it under the name of RA Cinader. And there were a couple of cross over episode between the 2 shows.

The names have been changed to protect the guilty. Unless they confess in which case they were guilty already. guilty? is this a joke or are people going to be labeled now? Just in case you're not aware my post was a quote of the opening line from ADAm-12 television show which aired back in 1968 an...

"The story you are about to see is true, names have been changed to protect the innocent."

You don't seem to understand my objection which is you registering me on AST without my permission. What part of that do you not understand??
As many times as you've repeated you offers to John on fixing SSM you're beginning to come across as a broken record.

oh for gods sake. calm down. the only thing i have 'registered' is adding a username (which you do not own). nothing else. some members reported problems with the captcha, so i sent them an invite, which a few accepted. i feel some members are using me as a way to vent pent up frustration. i'm doin...

Back a couple of weeks ago you sent me a PM informing me you had registered me on AST WITHOUT ASKING FOR MY PERMISSION, so kindly delete my account from AST. I am perfectly capable of registering myself which I choose not to do at this time. Can't help but wonder how many other SSM members you've re...

Meanwhile we've got the FB group to manage which is quite frankly exhausting. Which shows that the Facebook group needs to be deleted in the interest of collective health and well being. Plus, I've checked the FB page for SSM and nothing in at least 2 months if I remember correctly. Can't help but ...

Mods are offering nothing because it's private. If the site owners wants ya'll to know he'll let you know. One of the biggest issues, tho', is that the architecture this forum is built on is obsolete and moving it would be neigh impossible or at least extremely tedious. Meanwhile we're open to expl...

There are several possible reasons why John, Linda have not been able to log in and get things running smoothly. Too many narrow minded people lately it seems like.

i'm updating the forum software, so expect a few hiccups this week. luckily this website owner actually maintains his forum.

Are you saying John does not maintain this web site??

I tried it and kept getting a busy signal. Then again, myne has been having issues the last few weeks. Can someone else try, in case something is wonky with my phone? I don't know. In the old days people used to put the receiver beside the phone when they didn't want to be bothered. Excuses, excuse...

What is 'normal'?? Having to click refresh again lately.

It's working for now with the exception of when you click the submit button for posting a comment.

By updating the wallpaper he's letting us know he's still around, at least he knows what's been going on with the forums, As for anything else only time will tell.

Just checked the what's new here page and the wallpaper page has one for October so John's still around, just not logging on for some reason. IDK, kind of odd to upload one wallpaper and ignore everything else going on. Like giving a car with a busted head gasket a car wash. He probably cannot log ...
