  1. Hi folks, just looking in to say I couldn't imagine a season without some good competition from you guys here! Firstly I must apologise to John P for not thanking him for his efforts last year - it was very remiss of me, I hope I can be forgiven...🙄 Hope you're all well and looking forward to a rather less of a one horse race this year - I'm just watching FP2 and I'm not sure Max is going to have it all his own way this year - well, I can only hope....😄 Best of luck to you all and may the best man win!👍
  2. Couldn't resist joining for another season, thanks for allowing me to do so. Although my zest for RC has unfortunately gone (driven partly by the loss of my flying site), the competitive spirit hasn't, so once again it's "Gentlemen, start your engines......and may the best man win!" I mean Lewis, of course....😃
  3. When they're not bumping into each other, that is.....? Pete
  4. John S is certainly on fire at present - and he's not giving anything away in the back room, I can tell you....? Well done, John?
  5. All the podium ducks lined up nicely for me, at last? As for my 'also-rans', they might as well not have bothered....? Pete
  6. It's a shame to hear that, Don. If you can stretch to €64.99 for the year and a reasonable ADSL, F1 TV gives you live coverage of all the sessions, with the Sky commentary - bare bones but you get the necessary bit. I receive it on my phone and cast it to the TV. Infinitely better than waiting for the CH4 highlights! Sorry folks - not available in the UK - Sky make sure of that? I'm thinking things might be a tad closer this year too - unless a certain team is sand-bagging.....?
  7. Spending $90m was easy - trimming it back to $75m was a tad more difficult.....? Pete
  8. I've just searched 'snake' and it gives me 3 pages of results: https://www.modelflying.co.uk/forums/index.php?/search/&q=snake&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=102 It shouldn't take too long to browse through and see if you can identify the thread you were looking for, I'd have thought? Pete
  9. If you mean a Google search is turning up that link, it's probably taking you to the old forum pages and all those links are now redundant. Try using the search facility on this site by entering a key term which should throw up the old threads. In respect of logging in to the site, you probably need to change your bookmark in your browser. I use https://www.modelflying.co.uk/forums/index.php?/discover/33/ which takes me straight to the 'Latest Posts' page. Hope this helps! Pete
  10. You'll have $75m to 'shell' out then, Glenn.....? Pete
  11. Make the most of it whilst it lasts, iqon.......? Pete
  12. You're very welcome, Glenn - John, who does the admin, has posted instructions on how to join above. Just put the code into the 'Join an existing league' box and you'll be away?
  13. No chance of me resting on my laurels, Chris (see what I did there??), I'll be going all-out for a nap hand of titles this year - team manager permitting.....!? Pete
  14. Ooh - seems I'm at the top - for now at least. How could you have had any doubts about me joining in, Chris? ? Pete
  15. Have you tried substituting your email address which comes up on the Home Page login with your user name, ie 'Tony Richardson'? It should accept the same password as for your forum login
  16. Yes folks, it seems that the 'Top Posters' box appears after a certain number of posts - perhaps after one page worth? - and it results in a random appearance to the pages, depending on the thread you're viewing. We're working on it but, being the weekend, may not get it solved just yet. Bear with us.... Pete
  17. We've discussed this in the back room and it seems that confirmation that everyone's PMs would be lost came rather late in the day, sometime last week, so if it was mentioned after the cut-off point, the post would now be lost. We're all in the same boat over this, unfortunately - I lost around 120 pages of PM history. However, the PM facility was seen as a facility to carry on brief exchanges between individuals rather than a means of long-term storage. It was one of the - relatively - few casualties of the changeover and we're sorry for this. The positive is that the overwhelming majority of material has survived the changeover - despite many doubts. Pete
  18. Hmm - sounds fishy to me.....? Have you successfully entered the magazine site? If so, you should get the home page which looks like this, with 'My Account' rather than 'Login/Join' in the top right corner? Hover your cursor over the 'Subscribe' button and the dropdown menu lists, in the last but one option, 'Digital Archive'. If you just click on the 'Subscribe' button you do indeed get to the 'Total Carp' offer. Hope this helps... Pete
  19. Try this, flight1; OK, it requires a bit of work to set you up but once done, it'll be easier from then on. You are currently logged into the Forum but need to log in to the RCM&E magazine website - click on the RCM&E logo, top left of page. Click on Login/Join - it should bring up a panel which contains your email address and starred-out password. Change the email address to your forum user name, keeping the same password and you should be able enter the site. Once in the magazine website, click on 'Subscribe' and the drop-down menu includes the digital archive - the March issue is in there?
  20. You're never too old for a thick ear from your Mum!?
  21. OK, I think we have sussed it but bear with me - it requires a bit of work to set you up but once done, it'll be easier. You are currently logged into the Forum but need to log in to the RCM&E magazine website - click on the RCM&E logo, top left of page. Click on Login/Join - it should bring up a panel which contains your email address and starred-out password. Change the email address to your forum user name, keeping the same password and you should be able enter the site. Once in, click on 'Features', the drop-down menu will present 'RCME Extra!' at the bottom of the list. Click on that and it will open the downloads page?
  22. We're looking into it - will come back with an answer Pete
  23. It's been a pretty hectic 24+ hours for everyone so far....? Yes, we've noticed the slightly grumpy/it's all too difficult posts but given that the site has only been up a day, perhaps it's worth pointing out that the forum is new to all of us. Yes, it has issues in functionality, user-friendliness and appearance, but the principal issue is one of lack of familiarity with the mechanics of the forum. It will take a little time, working with the developers, to tailor it to appear and operate in a way the majority will find acceptable. The developers have been working flat-out since we went live to address those issues they can solve quickly but there's no such thing as a bespoke, off-the-shelf forum which fits all, so we'll keep fine-tuning it until we're happy. We mods have had to deal with an even steeper learning curve and really appreciate the assistance - and solutions - that many members have found out for themselves and have willingly shared. There are examples in this section. We are learning from you too and that spirit of co-operation will ensure we iron out the bumps much more quickly. This forum has been compared with others - please bear in mind those forums would also have had a gestation period which will have been long-forgotten by the original members and totally unknown by those joining later, when the fine-tuning had been done. We are very much at the early stage, so a little patience is required, please. If some folk are too impatient to hang around then we understand but hope they'll be back when it's easier to navigate. I can do no better than quote a comment John Stones has just made in the back room: 'It's BEBs Elephant, eat it all, you'll get bellyache, address one issue at a time it becomes easier, spend time browsing and see how others are managing, pick hints/tips up from them, site looks a different thing to me from yesterday, all achieved by being patient.' Hang in there, folks, it'll get easier....? Pete
  24. Click on your name (top right), then Account Settings from dropdown menu, then on right side of page in 'Other settings', click on 'Notification Settings' and choose between site notifications, email or both? Stick with it, it's a learning process for us all?
  25. Unfortunately all PMs were lost in the changeover, Basil. I believe it was mentioned in the preambles..... Pete
