Kampfgruppe144 BBS

Just to let the members of the forum know, I have having previously discussed the matter with the other Administrators purged the forum of inactive/delinquent members!

The criteria was that any member who had joined 2017-01-01 before and either had zero posts, or had not been...

A place to post any interesting finds of rare kits or great prices found in the wild on the internet.
This is not an alternative to the members for sale or wanted listings, but genuine finds on auction or resellers sites.

One thing I loved about the last version of the forum was the Active Threads option at the top of the page that allowed you to see what pages were getting updated across the entire site. It made seeing what was active so much easier vs going into every individual thread.

Is...

I have enabled a default board setting to Open external links in new window . This means if you click on a link outside of the KG144 BSS, the link will open in a new window. This means you have the original board post/topic open and any links contained within that will open in a...

Okay, so no one actually asked for this, but here it is!
You can now add your prefered flag to your profile/posts.

It should be optional, but you may get a 'nag screen'

I'll also pursue the option of additional flags with the author of the plug-in

Note to UK&NI members......

I had some feedback that last modern scheme was a bit too bright and weird?

What do people prefer the modern relaunch scheme or this more traditional scheme ?
Note that the feature upgrades (Image Galleries and Post Previews etc) still work on this alternate scheme.

For some...

I added a new feature today, which in turn seams to solve a a number of usability issues on a per user basis!

Effective immediately - you can now set your own preferences (certain limits apply)

(a) your prefered font size, and
(b) your prefered forum width

Where you see...

As I am not back at work until the 6th, there is a possibility that 'management' might sign-off on some Admin time on the forum (between the endless stream of visitors)

So, if the forum goes down/maintaince mode for a few days. Don't panic...

It will return :
A) the same :(...

Watch this space.

I have found a module that integrates Google searv capabilities across the forum. I'll look at this next week.

I've also found a module to adjust font sizes!

So, I cant resist having a play.

- Post Previews , as the name suggests you can hover over a topic and get a preview of the content (minus images/links) for first/last post. Let me know if its useful, or an annoyance?

- Post Number s, again, as it suggests, under the post...

To those people awaiting activation, or a response to their application to join the board.

Please be aware there are problem with the board being swamped with spam applications - currently 100+ a day.
It is obviously hard to identify all who are genuine with such numbers (I...

Hi All,

I have enabled a new feature, let me know what you think?

The new feature allows your to click on an image within a post and flick through them without having to select the images, other then with right/left clicks as per more contemporary sites. It can be set to...

In many postes I can only see half pictures. What do I have to do, that I see everything?

Bootneck42 raised a query on why he didn't seem to get responses to emails he sent via the button on the forum profiles.

Guess what, it's broken. I think when I moved the forum from the old Web host to the new one, I forgot to reconfigure the email gateway service.

I'm in...

So, here is the thing after struggling with small Inboxes for years I have been able to expand the limits.

You can thank a friendly Dutchman for promoting to sort it out!!

Chaps a bit of forum trouble this morning, appears to have been a hosting issue ....

Note: if your change you bookmarks to the secure protocol https:// at the front of the URL -
You will see the old grey exclamation mark turn into a green padlock with the word secure - thereby benefitting from a more secure link from the site to your browser...

I cant explain...

Good news

My ISP/Hosting company will be upgrading the servers, which means it will support newer versions of phpbb. This means I will be able to upgrade the forum and re-enable user self registration!!!

Cheers,

Having thought about it (and with no chatting to Blue Donkey who can change things back), I have created a new subforum of Group Builds.

Why change to a new Sub-forum? I hear you cry.

It allows for all types of projects (aviation, armour, sci-fi etc) to be included in the...

This is odd, but I'm having problems authenticating onto the site from my tablet, specifically an IPad. I can log just fine from a desktop or laptop, but for some reason authenticating from the IPad doesn't seem to work, as it endlessly states that i'm entering an incorrect...

Peter and I have cleared out a fair amount of these. I am not sure why they are suddenly appearing its been a year or so since the last invasion. I suppose they have found a new way of circumnavigating the defences? I have tightened up the registration process to ensure that the...

Hi all.
NOTE NO spamming or unsolicited selling or unrelated to 1/144 modelling posts will be tolerated. The username, and IP as well as all message will be deleted and banned.

I have just done this to 8 spammers just now.

New private message has arrived‏ / PM notification very late

The BBS seems to be generating a lot of spurious emails.
I don't know what the issue is, I am investigating!

BD99

images in posts crop at the right side, at around 600 pixels, and my screen is 1280 wide !
Can we get scroll bars on the images?

One of our members has suggested an Out of the box review section?

In order to be democratic I thought I would open this up for everyone to have an oppertunity to comment on.

So, what are your views?
