We have had a recent core software update (a couple of days ago). Just checked notification settings and I didn't see anything unusual, except the auto-notification to a member who starts a topic. That was unchecked. I've now corrected that. We've also had an update to the site's mySQL/MariaDB. As this site is driven by database queries, it could be that, but I would've thought it very unlikely.

How to rotate photographs
James H replied to wmherbert's topic in How to use the MSW forum - **NO MODELING CONTENT**
Hello, The answer is in this very forum area, in the pinned topics. -
MSW Spring Donation Pledge It’s that time of year when we ask our MSW members to help support the MSW website. This great website serves over 45,000 ship modellers, historians, and enthusiasts! The bills never stop and neither do we. All donations are appreciated, but to sweeten the deal, if you donate $10US or more, we will send you 2 MSW stickers as a thank you for your contribution. To receive your stickers, we will need your real name and address so we know where to send them. You can add your information to your PayPal payment, or contact Mary Van Dahm in the NRG office at nrghomeoffice@gmail.com if you prefer not to let PayPal have your information. If you have any questions, either send a PM to @ferretmary1, email nrghomeoffice@gmail.com or pop a PM to me. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT!!

Weird display on Samsung smartphone
James H replied to Baker's topic in How to use the MSW forum - **NO MODELING CONTENT**
As this seems to be a Samsung thing that has only just cropped up, then that is the issue. There's absolutely zilch can be done from my side. It's not unheard of for phone/tablet software to update and cause issues with a website, so hopefully that will be either something they fix soon, or maybe a future forum template can take into consideration if Samsung fail to sort their bad code out. -

I can guarantee zero changes to our software for the last 5 weeks, as I update everything manually. -
I'm not getting into a public slanging match for enforcing our rules. You do have fair reason to sell here, now you have furnished us with more information and not having staff here play guessing games as to whether something is legitimate or not. If I had to make the same decision again, I would, every time. Please let this be a lesson learned to those who wish to do the same. Maybe contact a staff member If this is on behalf of a deceased member, please let us know which member When registering an account on MSW, you have to state you understand the rules we have here. To plead ignorance after the fact, isn't an excuse. Topic locked.

Here was your first post. Sorry, I don't see anything there that you have just posted in your reply here: Can you see why, as an organisation, we have to be careful and not just let new members start to post about goods for sale? Surely you can?

Ok....an 'administrator' replies. How would you know that person is selling on items that have been bequeathed or are as a result of someone's demise? Anyone can join MSW to pretend to sell items that are part of an estate, and then take you for a ride......but hey, we allowed it 'in this instance'. That could also pertain to someone who just wants to sell their stuff, so makes a post saying it's part of an estate. You get stiffed, but hey, we allowed it 'in this instance'. You would be surprised the number of guitar gear groups I am a part of where a party is selling stuff because it's part of an estate, or a lady is selling because her 'husband cheated on her'. Anyone with an actual estate who can give us provenance, are welcome to contact admin, with a view to posting but we simply do not allow folk to come here and knowingly circumvent our system by posting in a forum area which isn't tied into the 25 post rule. New folk signing up here also click to say they abide by the site rules, which are there for them to read. It's a requirement of membership here. We have a responsibility to ensure that our membership isn't made open to vulnerabilities that can occur by being a part of an online community. While we can't negate risk fully, we will always do what we can to reduce that risk as far as we can go.

I have had to remove permissions from TWO new members here who have been using our forum to circumvent our rules. These posts have been made in here and the forum tech area, each selling items. REMEMBER: Please don't buy from anyone who has no provenance here at MSW. 25 posts are required to sell anything here, and these two members, SueMac and L Pecore have attempted to pass our system and sell to our membership. We have now put them on post moderation and disabled their messengers. PLEASE do not deal with these members. Admin

Focus Stacking
James H replied to Dennis P Finegan's topic in Photographing your work. How to do this.
Can you tell me which model(s) have this and what you would advise? My D5100 is almost 14yrs old now and the sensor has a spot which I need to clean up on each photo I take. It's had a hard life and needs retiring. -
Pointing out inaccuracies is one thing, but maybe counter with ways to improve a problem. No builder would be wrong to buy the OcCre kit. Any kit can be anything to any modeller, be it subject, style etc. I see the same folk who will lay into some kits with their all so superior attitude, despite them looking down their collective noses at those who do build kits. It gets real tiresome. Tiresome for me, tiresome for our staff, and more importantly, tiresome for those who come here for encouragement and an air of general positivity. AND...it's ALWAYS the same small cabal of folk who colour the generally friendly atmosphere here. You all know who you are and it needs to stop.

It's a possibility. At the moment, I don't know. I wouldn't surmise at this point.

Amati have been speaking to me over the last two weeks, regarding resurrecting this. It isn't forgotten about. Let's just be patient.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
