what i really would like to know is, where can i get those tiny engines? They actually have throttle control! I still have a Cox .049 from like 20 years ago that i've only used for 2 tanks on a plastic F4U CU plane. I apologize for the highjack

I must be missing something. I have no problems with photos, and I don't know what blue bands you guys are talking about. Perhaps those that have issues have issues with your desktop/laptop op system.

I sure it's a matter of browser compatibility. But even with the same computer and the same browser it varies all the time. Sometimes there are inch wide blue bands separating each and ever post (which is visually quite annoying)...but sometimes not. This morning when I posted, they weren't there. Now, they are. Anyway, I'm not interested in figuring out how to make wonky server software "work" on my end.

On the engines, I think they are custom-refitted jobs. There are a few videos of people doing this on YouTube.

I am using firefox and haven't seen any changes?

abufletcher

I'm using Firefox (on a Mac) and sometimes I get the blue bars, sometimes I don't. Visually, there's not much change. The biggest change was the way photos display. If you just click on the thumbnail it jumps to (in a weird way) into a new page and you have to reload the original page to go back. But if you press control/command and then click it opens up just like before (which I sort of hated at first but got used to..and even learned to like).

For me RCU is a great place to hang out and post questions (and answer questions when I can). But for extended build threads (as I've been doing lately) RCSB is probably more suitable.

I noticed a few weeks ago that I can no longer use the arrows on the picture-viewer. I have to "open" / expand each thumbnail one-at-a-time.

And now, as mentioned above, I need to hold down the ( control ) key when I click on a picture or else it will open / expand in a seperate window and then use the ( back-arrow ) to close and return.

As far as the blue bands or borders around each post.....I've not seen that yet.

Screenshot of what I'm seeing. Nothing else different other than the afore mentioned thumbnail viewing.
...so far.

When I first saw your post, that's exactly what I saw. But then I closed Firefox and reopened the thread and THIS is what I saw.

rcphotog

Wow, that is bizar. I've never seen those blue "bars" before. That would also give me pause.

I'm using I.E.8 on XP...btw.

The past couple days I've been getting alot of error messages as I log-off or simply nav/away from one site to another. Could be my browser. I delete all cookies and temp files after each-and-every session.

I'm no expert. Just trying to make my system last as long as I can.[]

Same here, blue bands come and go. I am on Windows XP and Ie8.

Here we go again ... that web designer at RCU is messin' with the site again ...

"Here we go again ... that web designer at RCU is messin' with the site again ... "

They get paid, and have to justify their existence, no matter what we think; how it impacts us; and it is entirely personal.

I once got really ambitious and started designing my own site. It is sooooooo easy to get carried away with everything you CAN do:-(((((((((((((((

Airbear

Well Les I think you hit the nail on the head.

abufletcher

I don't think these changes are about "creative choices" on the part of some "web designer." It looks like a simple case of some overworked (and probably underpaid) IT guy installing a software update.

Most of the forums are dead so what did they hurt.

All this makes me want to click on pictures less than I used to. RC Groups has the picture system down, which is why I find myself on their site more often now.

foodstick

When I click a thumbnail picture it grows to full size right over the forum page. And then when I reclick the expanded picture (anywhere on the pic) It shrinks back to a thumbnail.. the forum text and page never changes... i am running a firefox add-on called no-script.. maybe that is changing things...

I checked RCU on my IPhone at lunch and it was 2009. All the threads were old. Refreshed and all was good. Strange. Leading off was Abuflecher's Nieuport 11 thread.

I have the blue bars, but the pics are the same as always. However I can't click the arrow over key for the next picture. If that does work it's not in order. ????
ol well. I have to learn to live with it.

I use both safari on an apple product and Internet explorer on a pc and both are the same as they have been for months.

It's like my club introducing 'start up areas' instead of starting in the pits.

Lots of people moaned, it seemed a little strange at first but after a few
weekends using them you get used to them & start to realise that the
idea is actually an improvement.

'messing' with the forum is just trying new ideas, no big deal for me.

Blue bars? If someone hadn't posted screen shots it would still be a
mystery for me. - John.

abufletcher

I'd be curious to know whether you can find my CI thread on your iPhoto and if so, are the photos missing?

Boomerang1

What the?

Just logged on & there they are, the blue bars!

Perhaps RCU saw my post & thought: Can't have him missing out!

John.

That hasn't been working for a couple of weeks now.

I've got the blues [:'(]

Blue is trendy now, the "other" site made some changes a while ago, they've put some blue on their pages BUT NOT in BETWEEN the POSTS!!! it defies any logic, i guess this site felt like it had to put some blue also... somewhere

Bundubasher

Guys, I don't know much about all this foreign blue bars, stripes and curves that you guys all seein theforum- but when I close my bushtelegraph browser, and open it up again I see the curves and blue below - so being a practical guy, I guess I'm doing ok......

Cheers
