Allan Bowker Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 All good with the posting now, thanks. Has the shop been emptied of all stock and other peoples items Edward or just locked up / shutters down? Sometimes unforseen family circumstances can do this to a small business.

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Great - now we can get back to the OP! Please remember Pete's request - if you have info on this please PM Eddie rather than post personal data in here. BEB PS In case you are wonder why you couldn't see Eddie's post it was all down to a truly annoying feature of the "back office" software. We mods see a number of buttons not visible to other members - one of which has the wonderful title "Make Bozo". It came with the original forum software. Now the supposed point of this button is that if someone is being a real pain and winding people up we can press this button on them and hey presto - we can still see all their posts, but you can't. So in theory they can post away, but no one is listening because they can't see them. However, this is a feature we never use. Why? Well we prefer to deal with members in a more honest and straight forward fashion. If someone is being a pain - we tell them face to face, not behind their back! Second, using "Make Bozo" might make the posts disappear its still registered in the post count. Sooner or later someone would notice the discrepancy and asks the obvious questions. So, its a useless feature - but,... it is very easy to hit this button by accident, every mod has done it at least once! This is what happened to Eddie - in sorting his first post he was accidently classed "make Bozzo" (nothing personal Eddie! Just an accident!). Result - the thread looks fine to us mods (remember we can see these posts anyway) but everyone else thinks we are having hallucinations!

John Privett Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Just to add... There was a thread on here a few days ago about Paisley Model Centre - I assume it's the same place being discussed here? Whilst it didn't give any real info the suggestion from that thread was also that the place had closed down... (Edit - both threads have now been combined - Chris Bott) Edited By Chris Bott - Moderator on 27/02/2014 15:17:02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alistair Briggs Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hi, new member here, and I must confess that my question is not about ' model flying', but rather about a model train. My father put in a Flying Scotsman to be repaired at the Paisley Model Centre and when he went back to get it the shop had closed. Is there anything that can be done to retrieve the item at all (whether it has been fixed or not)? My father is quite upset about the loss as it had been a Christmas present for his Grandson. Any help/thoughts would be much appreciated. Regards, Alistair Briggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bott - Moderator Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Paul I haven't removed any posts, not sure about the other mods? What I have just done, is combined the two threads about Paisley Model Centre. Just so it's not confusing having similar posts in two threads.

kc Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 To get back nearer to the original subject....should one expect to get a receipt or something in writing if leaving models etc in a model shop to be sold on commission?( let's not talk about any particular model shop here! Just a general point about what the normal procedure is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
