Dave, I also would like to join in this build and will let you know in a little while what I will be building.  It will definately be an aircraft. Richard

No problemo'  welcome aboard

Dave, I had a thought that I am carrying over from the suggestions and feedback section http://www.finescale.com/FSM/CS/forums/542617/ShowPost.aspx

In a nutshell - Back in the BoB GB, I wanted to go back and see some finished pics of other's builds but had no idea what pages they were on.  For the Canadian GB, when participants complete their build, I add a note that tells what page their pics are on.  I know some people keep their pics only for a short time on what ever digital image hosting website they use but it in the meantime it can help others view their pics (I like to keep my pics up for the duration of a build and a little bit afterward).  Just a thought?   

BTW - the new forums must have altered my particpant name, my screen name is "jboutin" not the other one...

Ok cool that worked so it looks like i'm back

Good news on my end,my company stuffed up my weekly pay which means i didn't get payed this week but the good thing is i'll get a double pay next week so i'll have enough dollars to get that digi camera so i'll be able to show you guys some shots of my U-boat......

just need to do a test image. Crap... thought so!!!

Dave this is weird, once I quote your post I can see the image just fine. It must be either something your MAC browser is adding or the way the Community Server software interprets the HTML from your browser (I bet I can guess which one it is).

I'm using Firefox at the moment btw.

Cheers

All this computer talk, you know i have no idea what you guys are on about but i will tell ya that it took me 3 try's to get into the Midway GB, i clicked on the current page no and it took me to the FSM events bit of the site.........

Dave I'll have some pics up soon mate, Harvey Norman have the Kodak Easy share 4mp camera for $200:00 AU which is a bit of a bargain and i just happen top have $200 bucks worth of Harvey Norman vouchers that came with my Crisco order......

That is the "Superfly" cartoon character from joecartoon's website.  If you google joecartoon, you will find it, but if you are easily offended, don't go there.  I'm usually not easily offended but while funny some of it is rather crude.  I nearly died laughing with the Superfly cartoons though.  Browser beware...

Dave, you have it set up so you recieve email notification about someone posting to your GB don't you,  I saw you had replied very quickly after I posted it....keaner!

Really, Now i know that i'm gonna post heaps just to fill up Daves inbox

Isn't it William J. "B.J." Blazkowicz from the old Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny games?

Yeah Dave, I don't go there during work either, I save it for home.  I really don't know about your avatar - self portrait maybe?

BTW the sanding for the Boly is vvveeerrryyy slow.  I now have the starboard fuselage and wing done, I have the port stuff and the elevators still to do, then I have to scribe it all...It had better be worth it.

Hey have you guys noticed the little status thingys under our avator, it looks like FSM was able to find a substitute for our stars!  We now have lightbulbs!  at least that is what they look like to me, sort of...

Hey Cool...  but I had 4 stars before and now I only have three gum balls

David Voss has a post that explains the new post ranking system that he enabled from the new software.  I don't think it adds much to the Forum personally, but I don't object to it either.

Regards,  Rick

so now Joe can congratulate us on our new "dot" ... just doesn't have the same ring to it...

I decided IF I can get this GB in my build will be the S-100, not sure which boat I will model but I am sure pickings will be slim as there is only one set of AM decals I have seen for this kit...

Seems like Joe kinda gave up on the congratulations/toasting posts some time ago.  It's been sporadic at best.  Had to be a lot of effort trying to keep track of 30,000 active members.

Regards,  Rick

They're not 'dots', they're balls!

Now we can congratulate each other on gaining an extra ball every now and then.

I can see some future "kremp" Jokes regarding our new balls

<insert emoticon rolling its eyes here>

When I think Kremps and balls, I think more of losing them than gaining them!

Whoops spoke too soon, now I don't see any balls/bubbles/light bulbs/dots/globes/ what ever they are.    I kinda liked them...

You know this new format for the forum is okay but I still miss some of the other stuff, like the quick reply, that was so nice...
