The internet is powered by cats....im sure of it

Ones ive had.....

Tiff.....always called The Special Little Cat cos she turned me into a catdad



Willow the tortie and Jessie the house panther

Both rescues......best breed there is

Miss them all

 

[Geoffers]

I’ve never been lucky enough to have a cat, I’d really like one but my partner is allergic so it’s not really possible.
I do really like them though so keep the photos coming gents and I can admire your feline friends

I’d really like one but my partner is allergic .

i used to be....eyes used to close up.....constant sneezing...hard to breathe but no more

When my late wife moved in with me she said she would get rid of Tiff cos of my allergy but i consider pets are for life so wouldnt let her........i was bad for about 6 weeks till i built up a tolerence......now i have no problem......Jessie was mega floofy and wanted cuddles daily so i was always covered in cat hair and up close to her....never had a problem

 

[Richard48]

Aww they are lovely.We used to have a fluffy black cat Elvis who used to wait for a stroke near my wifes car.He lived in next road.He was old and one day he appeared and we both gave him a big stroke and sadly we never saw him again.I think he came to say goodbye to us and thank us for always making a fuss of him

Guys, what is happening to everyone, I can't believe the sniping and ill feeling just because some guys decided to leave this forum. They were all good guys and still are. I have also opened an account on the forum they have joined and it is similar in structure to how this site used to be. The members there made us welcome just as you guys did when we all joined a few years back.

I will be staying here as there are some great people on here but will also be using the other one as well so please stop the ill feeling it does you no credit.

Well said Scottie.

I have noticed that the logged in sessions do not seem to last as long as they did on the old forum. I am normally logged on in the kitchen on my laptop, on my PC in my modelling den and for the hat-trick also on my smartphone. Going up and down the stairs regularly between the two locations, I now find that I am having to login repeatedly during the day. Any chance of increasing the length of session before the system axe falls and logs us out again?

Are you ticking the box to remember you? I use it from several devices and never need to login again

 

[John]

I've been chasing support about the image issue, they have finally got back to me

Our Developers have them however they've been tasked with other priority items that affect a wider customer range before they can resolve the issue with the importer for these images.

I have spoken to them and they had been hoping to resolve this this week however the other task has taken longer than anticipated. I'll speak to them again today to try and obtain an update.

John, I don't mind entering my details when first logging onto this forum in the morning, as I use a Password Manager. It is the fact that I am continually being logged out during the day that irks me. That never used to happen with the old forum setup and ticking the "remember me" box doesn't stop the logging out. BTW, I use identical browsers on my two computers (Firefox, which is up to date v.131.0.2).

First thing each morning, as a matter of course, I visit three modelling forums (ATF, Britmodeller and Scale Models) plus eBay and Amazon, all having their own browser tabs. All of the sessions for each site have remained open from the previous day and remain open all day - except for Scale Models. Today, I have been in the kitchen all morning and spending long times on my laptop. I logged in to Scale Models as usual but after spending some time on other forums, I have returned to my Scale Models session and I find that it has expired and I have been logged out - again. So, here I am, just logged in again.

I've not had to login since my first visit. I'm not sure about anyone else, but it sounds like a local setting. Using Chrome on a Macbook Pro.

1. Are you using a bookmark to get to the site? If so is it still the old domain? 2. Try clearing your browser cache see if that helps

 

[davecov]

Hi John,

My browser cache gets cleared whenever I logoff and I also have an up-to-date bookmark. However, since I last reported on my experiences at lunchtime, the Scale Models session on my laptop has remained live for the past ten hours as I found out to my relief when I came into the kitchen to scan a document using my laptop. This is despite not changing a single thing I just left this forum session open as a test. It seems to be working okay now but having worked in IT for decades and used the Internet since before PCs came along, I know such things happen, thankfully less often nowadays.

Thanks for your assistance.

Dave
