I've seen some tank guys get tanked enough to do some 3D moves with their Pattons!

I have always been a happy fan of RCU. Many questions answered and problems solved. Considering the amount of money I have spent in the RC hobby/sport, and the lack of support from some of the major product outlets I consider RCU best amoung RC info resources...and that largely to forums, product info, and comparisons.

The fact that we have been able to discuss the issues with RCU and the potential of moving says a lot about how decent this forum really is. I have been on other forums that kill threads like this immediately, and even have been “banned for life� from one site for asking policy questions (politely) without any warning. Since we are at three pages already and have had nothing but supportive explanations from moderators, I would say RCU is pretty darn decent...

Besides, it feels sort of like home.

I have two tips for you guys who like to search the forums. The first one is: Don't use the RCU search at all! Sad, but true. Once again this problem was caused by the big implosion a couple of years ago. At that time, they were trying to develop a new type of search engine, and went live with the BETA version that you see when you hit search. It never has worked properly, and I can only assume that given the other problems at the time, this was one of those things that was selected not to be fixed until the big update. So...

Solution 1: After hitting the search button, look up for the link that says 'Old Search', it works a lot better than the new.

Solution 2: And my preferred choice usually...use google to search within the site (this works for any website too!). When you type your search, just add at the beginning site:[sitename], then a space, then whatever you want to search for.

Foxy, that is a great tip for searching. I did not know about the google search. A work around for the forumid:226 problem I mentioned is to backspace over the forumid:226 text while leaving what I originally searched for in the bar and then hit enter. The search works this way.

I must clarify that I really like RCU and dont plan on moving. Constructive critisism is a good thing. I enjoy the people whom contribute here.

RCKen,
Uploading pictures might be part of the problem here, but what is going on with administration? I have deposited $50 and it has long since cleared PayPal...and yet every time I try to post an ad I get the message that I will be unable to post an ad until my $2.15 bill is paid. I've paid the bill, emailed the accounts manager, emailed a moderator, emailed another moderator....problem still there, and not even a response from anyone representing RCU. I'm not here to wine about the site as some ignorant people have suggested in this thread...I really like the site and would like to continue using it, but it is becoming increasingly less useful for me.

I've made a post in the moderators private forum referring to this post and asking someone to get in touch. You can expect someone to contact you about it. If you hear nothing in the 48 hours following this post, please let me know via pm. Thanks.

I have passed on your issue to the Administrator who takes care of these sorts of matters. He normally takes care of issues on the same day he gets them. But like Foxy said, if you don't hear anything in 48 hours please PM me directly and we'll see what else we can do to take care of the matter.

When you posted your Paypal payment, did you click the "Click here to return to RCUniverse" link after submitting the payment? You MUST click that link in order for your account to be updated appropriately.

If you would please PM me the date and transaction ID of your Paypal payment, I will be sure it is reflected in your RCU account.

Thanks for the quick response Foxy, RCKen, and JWN. I don't recall whether I used the "return to RCU" link or not from the PP site. That would seem like the most logical explanation of why it didn't post. John, I will get that information over to you...thanks.[X(]

I think overall, the site does OK and covers a lot of ground. Lots of info from people that are well versed in certain tanks or history of a specific AFV and help, advice or suggestions nearly always there. .

I have however given up on advertizing any tank for sale, due to the lack of tank catagory and not willing to wade through every possible RC flying or race car model to find one . Many who have something for sale have avoided this by mentioning it and requesting a PM...it works.

We could use a breakdown link on searches by era , country or tech how-to. Otherwise leave as is.

My thought would be no. no forum is perfect but i believe we have done a pretty good job of handling flamers and con artists. The wealth of knowledge shared here is as good as any i have seen before on similar forums. I have been in a couple of RC Groups sites and they get a lot of spam bombardments.

The trouble of upload multiple pictures was over 2 years ago, My only issue with this forum is it's a mess to go through things.But in other hand i got here solution of every rc car problem.....

The forum has had its issues, the most annoying for me was it screwing up the post formatting and throwing up walls of text. Seems stable of late. The other forum is very quiet.
