Good to read your posts again MAN. BTW, if it makes ya feel better then here we go: I anit no goood at spelln meseves so be needng to edit. LOL Talk to you later and saw your other posts from the other website (Look over there as I posted without knowing about this site) and you are quite the modeler my friend. BTW, when you going to invite us Northern boys down to sip suds and play with those great planes you are a putting together? Take Care and tip one back for me. SHEP

Shep! Whaaaatz Up!

I saw some great bomber bases in another thread on here, that's my next project.

I just recieved 3 B-17Fs, 3 Do-217s and 3 Japanese Sallys from CareRio this afternoon. Working currently on a pair of Me-110s and Hurricane MkIs.

I've got about 85-90 built and ready to go, with about another 65-75 lined up to be built! I've kinda run out of planes in that scale to buy, now I just need to keep putting them together. I'm trying to get as many of the pre painted ones as I can, there are some really great ones out there. E-Bay is great for picking them up, too. Rodger_Wilco turned me on to that! BTW, I haven't seen him on the new boards too often?

I've been snagging 3 each on the bombers, and at least pairs on fighters. I'm just kinda plodding along in no particular hurry, as I'm really waiting for the next DoW set to come out and add in some more maneuver decks.

Hey, is it just me, or does everyone go back out to the forum entrance after posting? These boards aren't too bad, but they sure do take a bit of getting used to.

Anyway, hope to see you and Khayman7 around on here! Have a Good Holiday!

ive seen a couple other people post that they get kicked out to the forum entrance everytime they post but its never happened too me i have no problems with this website what so ever and i think its at least 100 times better than the old website

Hopefully it's just a simple case of getting my browser settings right?

Test Testing again....

Good Golly, I think I've got it!

Kaufy, took the plung yesterday and bought DoW online. I have also been buying 21st Cen. 1:144 planes and will be getting the stands from Litko. I am looking forward to some great gaming and I am now looking at Bombers online. We still play Axis and Allies and are now talking about playing this before a game to decide which side has control of the skies. Also if there are paratroopers they have to be part of an escort to see if their transports can get through. What do you think and any ideas are welcome...

I have been reading all the old post over at the other webpage and wonder why the change? Roger_Wilco has some great ideas and I too am wondering why I am not seeing him posting over here. You two have a great collection of planes that I was drooling over on the other site. BTW, Khayman7 had a jump on us so if you have any good advice that can help me send him down in flames then please share as I want him butt....

LOL!! " Look out Khayman ... BREAK, BREAK!!!"

WoW & DoW, IMHO, are both great games. I've played against both my kids, and my drinking buddies, it's just a game that is so flexible.

I saw those bases in another thread on here that somebody made themselves out of plexiglass (or some kind of plastic), and I thought they looked great. After the holidays, I hope to be able to get after it and make some myself. Rodger_Wilco had some great stuff over on the old boards, hopefully we'll see him over here soon! I know I'm just getting my browser settings right for these new boards myself. There for awhile, I wasn't too sure I was going to be visiting here much either! I think I've got the "kinks" worked out now, and I must say, I like the new boards.

There are just some super deals you can get on E-Bay for 1/144 scale planes, and I've found a much larger variety than I though existed at first. The B-17s I got were only $7.49 each, and they are already pre painted, with just a little asembly needed. I was able to pick up 3 Japanese sally bombers at only $3.50 apiece! those are going to make for some nice "Flying Tiger" scenarios! I have the shark mouthed P-40s already to go, now the sallys, and I just got 3 Japanese Ki-43 Oscars. Those are good, old fashioned, do-em'-yourself kits. Anyway, E-Bay has some great stuff...the shipping is really reasonable, and having the stuff brought right to your door is sweet!

What I would like is the ability to preview what you are going to post. At present I think there is only a publish and cancel button. It would be good to be able to check if links to pictures and such were working. I got burnt by this today, I just couldn't get the links to photo bucket to work for some reason, (tried various ways, but no joy) anyway as I couldn't preview I had to keep using edit to check. And then I found out that you can't delete an opening post, even if it is your own.

Don't get me started on points. I've been posting since the forum started, and my points havn't moved since about 5-6 days in. I'm not being point hungry for the sake of having a high score (no calling me a post ***** please ) but it would be nice to take part in the raffles they mentioned.

I agree with this and might I add that I would love to be able to put my own avitar on my page. That would go a long way to making a good site a better site in my eyes.

There is actually one way to preview. In the word look alike controlls at the top, first button on the left is a preview button. It doesn't work that well though. It just shows more or less the same that you have written without any html formating

Has anyone all of a sudden lost the ability to post pictures?

For some reason, i cant add photos to any of the posts i make, reguardless of what PC I'm working on?

Are we limited to how many photos we can attach per log-in/callsign?

It's going to get a bit dull around here if we can't post our pictures.

I've seen plenty of pictures around.
