Well there's your problem - Explorer. That's like using those square testors bottles to paint whole models

Yeah, what can I say I'm a creature of habit and I don't like change. I'm also having issues with another site that recently changed software so I've exported my favorites to Chrome and am trying to get used to the differences. I really dislike Firefox, so Chrome is about my only option although I know it has its detractors as well. |

When I said 'Have you another browser you can try?', it was my British reserve kicking in. We would never say 'what kind of fool would be using MS Explorer'. It's just not the done thing. |

So, Friday morning I left town to drive south with my wife for some quick shopping and to visit her mother. I got back into town late yesterday afternoon. Just now was my first opportunity to get on the forum. I click on Active Topics and it only goes back to yesterday afternoon. Where's all the stuff from Friday and Saturday? I'm beginning to really miss the old forum. Chris |

Hi Chris, active topics is only active for 24 hours. You will keep current if you subscribe to a topic which will be visible in preferences. Upgrading to Zeta you win some, lose some. |

Geeze! Really? That seems to be more hassle than it's worth. I'm not sure we've won anything with this move but I know we've definitely lost. Chris |

Chris (and anybody else who feels they've lost out), I don't deny there's a loss of some functions, I miss them too. The thing is the hosts made it clear some time ago they were no longer going to support Invisionfree, although they're still running the servers. That means if there's any sort of glitch off the board that needs fixing, it won't get fixed. If you need any help with your own control panel, you won't get any. If your board gets hacked, tough. If you lose a load of data for any reason, you won't get it back. If your board simply expires for any reason, that's your lot, it's dead, other than resetting a toppled server. This is the deal we have now in order to keep 72nd Scale Aircraft forum running for the foreseeable future. The only way to get features back would be to opt into the 'pay for' version, but I doubt that's a route that Robert has any interest in pursuing. |

Unfortunately I think we need to recognize that forums as we know them are being replaced by smart phone friendly "apps" and Facebook. I don't like it but that is where we are at. I'd personally be willing to pay a subscription for the site, because I get a lot out of it (far more than I add), but from experience I've seen that charging a membership fee has a drastic effect on the membership. I don't think it is the money as much as the extra step to participate. One site I was a part of initiated a small $5 / year fee mostly to reduce spammers, but it cut the active membership by probably 1/2 to 3/4 and eliminated nearly all of the less active members. |

Thanks Paul, I get it now. Apologies for the tardy reply, but with the lack of e-mail notifications I keep forgetting to check back on the forum - it's an age thing!! Keith |
