Starship Modeler Discussion Forums

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...

Let us know when it's back

Maybe it's one of us...we're cursed

Well, I counted around 28 individual accounts on this thread, but it has over 2000 views. That avg's around 80+ views per person....seems a lot, although some of us might just be a tad obsessive.

We at least still seem to have lurkers...thanks!

So I still get that 500 error but other than that everything okay? Go to the other sites about the forum problems. they have a link that has fixed the 500 problem for most of us. The SQL error remains. Not fixed , but there is a 'work-around' that has alleviated the problem. I found that using http...

this thread makes me think of our little group here is a bit like Whoville shouting "We are here! We are here! We are here!"

Looking through the different topic sections I noticed that a thread dated 2011 and I know people have done threads there just in the past year, the title of said section is ask your question for SSM here. The problems seem to be getting worse. The post in that section is an announcement which neve...

Actually ignore this post. It seemed that clicking on "Board Index" rather than "Home" resolved the insecure connection issue (http vs https) that seems tied to the 500 error. Curiously when doing this very post I noticed that I didn't have a secure lock icon on the URL bar, impl...

Did somebody turn it off and on again?

Using https seems to work pretty well...and yes it does seem to be faster

be happy while it lasts

That is indeed strange. I was pretty sure that most current browsers implement https by default and only do the old http if allowed by the user in settings or a dialog box. The "s" is for "secure" which encrypts the request and reply info. Otherwise, it shouldn't be much differen...

8-[ Je suis ici (just practicing...) Always intrigued by the number of "guests" online (see bottom of forum pages) given how tightly sealed the forum is for non-registered members. I recall you used to be able to lurk here years and years ago. Invariably there are often quite a few. Probab...

I think I am here...but I've been wrong before
(even the emoticons are starting to fail)

Thirded! (if that wasn't previously a legit word, I'm unilaterally declaring it is now) :D EDIT: Hahahaha! NOT FIXED , just got that while posting this, Look out, here comes the roller coaster effect!! And down we go, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :D :x Like I suspected. It's going to be like a fail...

This post sort of duplicates a post I made on the Galactica threads, but this thread is permanent and BSG's isn't. Moreover I think it is on point. The refs for SF hardware often look darker than their appearance on film or TV. On the other hand, I think this image which appears to be from the model...

Well, maybe back to normal as of a month ago?...when it was still kinda broken. If it's a backend problem with the machine that hosts the database itself, this may re-occur. I'll see if I get SQL error when I post this Yep General Error SQL ERROR [ mysqli ] Table './o7f2b2r3_talk/phpbb_user_notific...

Well it looks like we're back to normal now. Or for now :) . Thanks to whomever fixed things (IF anyone fixed anything). Thirded! (if that wasn't previously a legit word, I'm unilaterally declaring it is now) :D EDIT: Hahahaha! NOT FIXED , just got that while posting this, General Error SQL ERROR [...

EDIT - (hours later) currently on my work computer, and it is working just fine on this one... No General Error of 500. What. The. Hecky? :x I'm still getting 500 errors quite frequently. It's more of a hit or miss issue. If it misses I typically have to back up all the way to the initial URL req (...

This near impossible. The current server error makes it very difficult to read or post. I don't dare try posting more than once on the possibility of double or triple posting. I finally got my facebook account to work and applied for the SM forum to see if I can get any notice of what's going on her...

I'm guessing that it's likely a heisenbug (type of problem that seems to disappear or alter behavior when you make attempt to study it). ...or explain it to the mechanic or your doctor :D ....trust me it was happening yesterday Actually I have stupidly discovered something that must have been in pl...

In general the scale color effect is lightening a modelss colors and sometimes reducing the contrast between the colors to make the model look the way it does in tis natural environment. Not everyone believes that the scale color effect is real. David Parker explains why he thinks it's wrong here: ...

The only think paint-wise that I was pretty clear as a direct part of "scale" was the usage of gloss finishes. A high gloss finish automatically indicates miniature given the scale aspect of a gloss finish or any highly reflective finish. In RL, a gloss finish is surprisingly reflective, b...

Whenever someone on here quotes anyone we always get a notification next to the private messages marker but this time I got none even though you quoted me, something new perhaps. That seems to be one of the symptoms of the general SQL problem. Given the odd things going on with some PMs I sent, I w...

How to separate the hood from the body depends on how the kit was produced- it may be solid resin in that area so aside from removing the hood section and vac-forming a replacement to show it hood up you may have to wait for the kit to arrive before making plans. I'd keep in mind that it's not a &q...

Well thanks...that worked. My sent mail box started to work (it didn't yesterday). Still no record of any PMs to onezero I'm still getting sql errors when I send the PM though. Did it happen to you? I got the PM you sent me yesterday, not sure what thread it's associated with though. It was on the ...

I'm still getting sql errors when I send the PM though.

Did it happen to you?

I'm beginning to suspect that personal messages on the forum don't work. I've PM'd one zero twice, and both times I got a similar sql error message. Curiously I have no record of this in my "sent" message list. I noticed another thread where someone asked for a PM, then posted they were no...

Because there is a paint brand called "ScaleColor" and scale color can reflect color families, I'm having a lot of trouble looking up web pages on shifting colors to better reflect the appearance of a subject when done at a different size - namely much smaller. It seems like a bit of a sil...

Has anyone sent Kohn or any of the moderators a PM about this problem?? Of course, you are not going to get a notification of this (ugh). I could try testing PMs on you (see previous post for context). I suspect PMs might be working but without notification support will it list as received. It does...
