vmwilson1 Posted December 14, 2018 #1 Posted December 14, 2018 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? Vic Quote

trippwj Posted December 14, 2018 #3 Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Contact Adam @skerryamp (the developer) - not sure if he stops by MSW very often these days, though.

mtaylor Posted November 28, 2019 #9 Posted November 28, 2019 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.

RussR Posted July 5, 2020 #10 Posted July 5, 2020 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 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.

Bob Cleek Posted July 5, 2020 #15 Posted July 5, 2020 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. mtaylor 1 Quote
RussR Posted July 5, 2020 #16 Posted July 5, 2020 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. https://suburbanshipmodeler.com/model-ship-kit-database/ All is good now.

mtaylor Posted July 6, 2020 #17 Posted July 6, 2020 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??

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.

mtaylor Posted July 6, 2020 #19 Posted July 6, 2020 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.
