Ship Kit Database

[vmwilson1]

The Ship Kit Database link is shown on the home page but when attempting to access the link nothing is returned from the link.  Is the Ship Kit Database under revision or is it gone for good?

believe parts of the server are down, for maintenance

Contact Adam @skerryamp (the developer) - not sure if he stops by MSW very often these days, though.

No problem.  I sent him a note on Facebook - will let you know if I hear back.

It's been awhile since I've Adam post. I hope he's okay and just busy.

Wayne,

 

The link to the Ship Kit Database is back online.  Thanks for the help.

The entire http://mswshipkits.ampitcher.com/KitDetails.html?kit=10252 is missing an image. Who should I contact?

I get an "under construction" notice on that page.   If you go to the top of the page and click on "More" and then "Articles Database" it works just fine.  We are in the process of re-working the database but it's not live yet.

Does anyone know if the Ship Kit Database will be back, or is it gone for good. I haven't been able to find it in the "Articles Database"?

And the link on the right side of the homepage appears to be a dead link.

I have found the log listings but at one time there was a database for kit manufactures that had the scale, period, length height width and so forth. I guess it is gone now.

It is the link on the right side of the homepage. And I haven't found it in the  "Articles Database" as Mark suggest.

If it is gone it's gone. But that was as handy as a "shirt on a pocket". 😀

This notice by the discussed site may explain the problems some are having: 

 

 "This site uses a custom design that depends on HTML5 support, meaning that for it to work properly you must be using a fairly current web browser.  If you are using an older browser (any version of Internet Explorer, or any web browser older than about 2 years), you will likely see things that don’t look right or don’t work properly."

 

Download a free copy of the Chrome browser. That works for me. Internet Explorer, a widely used browser, is, I believe, no longer supported and has been replace by Chrome, Bing, and others. As time goes on, with increasing frequency, we who have used Internet Explorer for many years will continue to encounter problems such as those mentioned in this thread. Remember when they came out with 45 RPM records with the big hole in the middle? Perhaps not.  Anyway, if you are still  playing your eight-track tapes, don't try to figure this out. Just use Chrome or Bing and you'll be okay.

I am using Google Chrome. The Database link on the right side of the Homepage is dead.

The link that Kevin found for me on the net works fine.

Just use this link instead.

All is good now.

Russ, I don't recall that database nor do I see a link dead or otherwsie to it.   Can you pop a screenshot of you homepage??   I looked at the link you show but don't ever recall seeing one like that.

On the right above USA Air Brush Supply and below Sherline Products. There is a link that says "Ship Kit DataBase".

I am using Google Chrome and the link just runs and never opens.

I am good with it. Kevin sent me a link that provided me with what I was looking for.

Kevin also sent me this link to the original MSW thread.

It doesn't look like it is available anymore.

It is indeed dead.  I've PM'd the admins to remove the link and also a pinned post for the link.  I guess Adam killed his website.

[Chuck]

Its still there.  Its with the sponsor banners.  And it still works but I fear it hasnt been updated in ages.
