Looks good. Had to make a few profile setting changes. Posted a video test and that worked fine.


Pictures load much faster as well !

Well ,it's good to see the forum is back up again.

I had to go though and delete all my cookies to get on here today.

There are still a few things that don't work correctly or the option is just missing?

Right now, there are nine people visiting the gas engine forum. If you can read this - Email or call your friends and tell them how you got on.

Good to see you got on AL I sorta figure it will change a little yet? They don't have the advertising in gear?

I don't like the editor as in the above post I wrote that in three double spaced lines with a sentence on each line. It ran them all together in one line.

Thanks Jim! No advertising? Couldn't prove that by me. It would appear the adds are a few times bigger than they used to be? Running Firefox (whatever their latest rev is). You? -Al

There are at least 3 places to click on "My Forums". 2 places on top work, 1 on the left does not. Also, when I get to the correct list of "my forums", I seem to have a third column present, to the right of the expected 2 columns, containing headers for a couple of "my" forums - including this one (Gas Engines).

I mean I'm functional, but the software seems really buggy at this point? -Al

Sure does. I've been on here since Monday night and it has been off and on and a big mess but it keeps getting a little better.

Try this link if you want to go directly to "My Forums" when clicking on your shortcut

RC Forums - RC Universe discussion forums for RC cars, rc trucks, rc airplanes, rc helis, rc boats, rc jets, rc electric helis, rc electric planes and more

Keep in the back of you mind that this new program will be tweaked and changed here and there in the next few months. We will have to take the changes - I mean improvements - as they come?

w8ye I beg to differ with you, we don't have to take anything. Anyone is free to exit at any time. I personally don't like the new RCU, the pages are to spread out, too much white, the blue is nauseating, and the photo download is a pain. I loved the way it was, clean, easy to navigate, simple!! This new way puts me in mind of our youth with all the clickitty-clickitty-click to go where one click would do.
