I have an unusual request. As some of you know, I have created a website resource for anyone interested in modeling the US Coast Guard. I recently gave the site a major overhaul and republished it. I now have a gentleman telling me I have 2 websites, the original and the updated. This is not possible. The website is on a self hosted network on a PC in my bedroom. When I make a change I delete the old page and insert the new one. The old page does not exist anymore and should not be accessible. I request that you guys (even if you are not interested in the Coast Guard) just click onto my link www.coastguardmodeling.com
and tell me what you see. You should see a page that says “This is THE site…” with rotating images of some of my models. You should not see a page that says “Greetings” and ends with a change history with Ray Bean as the last entry. E-mail me your answer. I just want to make sure this thing is working right. Thanks for the help!

works fine
same here, alright.
I think maybe the gentleman in question needs to clear out his cookies and browser history? It works fine and the way it should for me.
It works fine with me, too.

Works fine for me too.

Main WIP:
On the Bench: Artesania Latina (aka) Artists in the Latrine 1/75 Bluenose II
I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
Other than a few orange racing stripes, it looked good to me, too.
I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
Thank you guys.
You've restored my sanity!
subfixer, i thought it was pink stripes with purple polka dots?

I believe that you'll find those markings on boats off of Fire Island, NY.
...or San Fran....
On the bench: AFV Club M730A1 Chaparral
On deck: Tamiya Marder 1A2
In the hole: Who knows what's next!
Hey,
John Kennedy suggested the Coast Guard develop a more distinctive look in 1960. It only took 7 years for us to develop those racing stripes, which appeared on cutters and aircraft in 1967. We're a little slow sometimes. But now several police forces and foreign coast guards have copied it.
Cookies and history won't fix the issue; he needs to clear his browser cache.
There is also the possibility that he is running into a proxy server issue; some internet providers will build servers that hold their own cache of sites that the provider's customers hit. This saves them money; rather than pay for the bandwidth usage of 100 users hitting CNN.com, they just pay for one and serve the same pages out. However, if miss-configured, it will obviously cause issues if it's not sending out the latest page. Proxy server issues are more annoying to deal with as either you or him has to track down a technical contact and then request they get someone to work on it. Sometimes finding someone interested enough isn't easy.

Thanks Mike M.

I certainly am, this quarter IPMS Club newsletter will be dedicated to the Coast Guard, so by all means please send me a PM for contact info.
Thanks
Works great. Just like it should.
Worked fine for me .By the way did you know that the COAST GUARD or DEPT .of the interior sold some boats that were supposed to be bouy tenders (decommissioned ) At least that is what I was told . I bought one that had sat for over seven months at a pier in SAN DIEGO .I bought her .She appeared to be a bouytender alright and she was in pretty fair shape. I converted her to a liveaboard . I miss her .I don,t know who owns her now , but I understand she had been cut down to be a workboat in the PHILLIPINES . All I can say is DAMN . Even if she never saw CG service she sure looked like the BRAMBLE. Who knows .It,s water over the dam .I am an invalid now and my missus is in a nursing home .We sure loved that boat though . tankerbuilder
