[Guest]

I registered early yesterday morning with Britmodeller and my registration has been validated. But still, the button "YOU CANNOT REPLY" prevents me from replying to any of its posts. After my registration was accepted, a message appeared on their page saying something like "The administrator wishes to vet new members." Although the site offers the ability to contact one of their moderators, the links don't work. Therefore, there is no way that I can contact Britmodeller.

Could someone here who is a member of Britmodeller (and their membership works) please send a message to them asking them to complete my registration process so that I can reply to posts.

I used the same board name "Stevekir" as here and the details they gave me confirming my registration is:

"Thank you for registering.

We require that you "validate" your registration to ensure that

the email address you entered was correct. This protects against

unwanted spam and malicious abuse.

To activate your account, simply click on the following link:

I have done that several times but it doesn't work. I have also validated several times by the other method.

Thanks.

There we are John can deliver goods in the quarter of the time Britmodeller take to vet some one. "Vet " ?

Their moderator. How are they going to vet you Steve or any body. They will not have a clue. Just laziness of the moderator. You or any body could be God or the Devil (or even somebody in-between) they will not know.

I tried Britmodeller and didn't like it. You need a photo hosting website to post pictures of your builds and I don't have one of these sites and have no intention of signing up for one.

I have used Photobucket in the past but it has changed the layout of its main page and selected images often don't load so it no longer works for me.

That is one of the beauties of this site. Load up with a press of a button. Trying to load 10 photos with photo bucket is an nightmare.

Worse still is some one decides to spring clean their files you get a lot of blanks.

On the other hand, a photo storing site like Photobucket allows photos to be viewed by friends, customers etc. without them being stored on to their friends' or customers' computers (except when requested). I assume that all photos that we upload to this forum get stored on John's server immediately (as with other sites), and stay there for a very long time. John must have very big hard drive capacity (good for us).

Yes, you are right. However, the address is one I use for contacting people with whom I do not want to have a continuing relationship, like airline ticketing, internet purchases, pestering girls etc. If it becomes a nuisance I delete the address on my ISP's server and create another. But I have just edited my post as it has served its purpose.

Now Steve are you kidding us. Spill the beans on your dark side man.

[Guest]

same here, tried the site once or twice, didnt like it, never bothered since, seems to be a lot of rivet counters lurking there

 

[Alan 45]

I've been posting on there for a couple of months not regularly and I've posted a few of my builds on there and I havnt had any off hand comments or put downs just normal sort of stuff even from people who have thousands of posts to there name neither have I read any elitist posts on any other thread either

Maybe they cracked down on it only thing I will say is it doesn't feel as friendly as on here not nasty but I don't think it has the community feel this site does

 

[Guest]

to be fair, it was a long time ago when i tried it
