• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Looks like we had a bump

A BUMP???? It's been bumping 3-4 times a day since that project plans thread was created! Which threads have missing images?

Agree with YYCHM, my recent posts (Dog the Drill # 1 & 5) and (Improving Drill Press Accuracy # 1) are messed up for starters. If my edit privileges were restored by an administrator for said post I would replace the images. Your call...…!

It's not just a few images it's a lot of images. Best to wait and see if they get it sorted out.

Please just be patient. Josh has been working on it since it went down. It's not related to the new forum area - it is at the server level and other unrelated web sites were also affected.
 
@Jwest7788 Big thanks to Josh for running the server and fixing it like today when we have issues. Please remember everybody this thing is volunteer run. We're fortunate to have Josh figure out all the technical back end and to have a server we can be hosted on. Other bigger yet still volunteer sites have a heavy ad presence to pay for all that.
 
Good job Josh! Thank You.

Craig

Ditto that Craig. My Dog the Drill post #5 shouldn't have the last 3 black and white images just the 2 in colour and the 1st black & white. Bottom 3 black & white should be removed when you have time Josh. Thanks again!

If you go to your post Bill, you should see an “Edit” button. Press it. Now it opens your post and you can sort out your pictures. When you are done, select “Save”. Only you have the “ Edit“ function since it is your post.
 
Hi RobinHood, no button showing believe my post is now time expire for the EDIT function. We'll work it out!
 
Thanks team!

Glad to be able to help!

The images should all be good to go too!

John is right, the issue was at the server level, above the forum. Was a messy day for me with dozens of websites having issues all at the same time. Haha
 
+1,
I've worked in the IT industry and know the pressure of an outage with the entire building sitting behind you tapping their toes waiting for the net to be restored. At least here there is no money or stockholders to worry about.
Thanks guys.
