I just got rudder pedals. My chair is wheeled so when I push the pedals and the chair moves away from the desk, why didn't you warn me about this? Now I understand the difference of turning and applying rudder at the same time, it makes a huge difference. Question, my x-52 is really old, with the rudder/twist locked, I'm still able to twist it a bit to each side, does this happen in all x-52 or is it because mine old and the parts are loose?

This one's quite different - changed up some link locations.

New skin - Red & Grey

Here is the new skin... ummm yummy?

The sites have been upgraded. I will still be testing so be mindful of what you post. If we have to revert some things may be lost.

Here is today's skin for the forums.

Some of you may be having "problems" with avatars. First off, don't do any "profile" updates here in the forums. The correct place to do it is your site profile page and you can get to it by clicking your name in the site menu bar. The reason I'd rather every one do profile updates there is that it will apply to the whole site. Another reason is this forum doesn't match the profile correctly and actually has some issues. At any rate, the avatars. We found the reason some of us, including myself, couldn't upload avatars in our site profile page. If you are having troubles uploading a profile avatar please let me know.

Here's the new skin for the day, Grey & Grey.

Previously we used session based read tracking. With the forum upgrade and some testing it's seems this read tracking method isn't doing well. I've changed it to start using DB based read tracking. From now it should properly track regardless of session info.

There is a forum feature that previously caused havoc with the forums, Thanks. There is a button one each post that will allow you to thank the poster for the information. It appears to work properly, but just in case, I have backed up the database and if it proves to cause issues, we'll revert back.

The forums were dependent upon session & cookies to perform read tracking. When we upgraded the the forums that was reset and all threads were showing new. Now we are using DB read tracking and should not run into that in the future. However, the current state is that many people still show all threads as new. To actually see the newest threads be sure and check out the latest activity at the bottom of the forums when looking at the top level. To mark threads as read, without going to each and every thread, go into the particular forum, such as "All Things Considered" and at the bottom there is a link to "Mark all threads as read." Clicking that will mark all …

Britchott got me thinking about skins with his testing on mobile devices. While there is only one skin for mobile, and it's in place - there are many (~20) for general viewing. I think I will set the skin to something different each day and post a poll to see if users like it. (I like this skin, I don't like this skin) What does everyone think? Is this beneficial?

Upgraded the forums to version 1.96.1 from 1.95.5. We should see less instances of permission bleeds from the other forums. Also, the user images (in forums) seem to be fixed as well.

I haven't posted anything for the past few days because of a glitch with posting to Bowser's Odd's & In's.

To keep the forum from getting all cluttered with my posts I'll stick everything in here..

Tried a few experiments tonight and rolled them back to 9:30 PM tonight. So if you made a post within the last 2 1/2 hours you'll have to re-post to have it show.

Gentlemen & Artist, I will gladly compensate the person who will develop and submit personal skins for me to display in ROF. I have neither the skill nor interest in developing said skill to develop them on my own. If you are interested please drop me a line at dixieland14@live.com and we can discuss particulars. I'm not looking for something lavish, just something tasteful that will exhibit my pride in flying with JG-1. Buttz did a skin for me and it was most appreciated. I saw Hett's EIII skin last night and the lust and fever deprived me of a nights peaceful sleep.

I just watched Mirror Mirror with my daughter and was surprised to see a Tatzelwurm in a modern day movie. The movie isn't bad but it is a children's movie.

Thought this was interesting (and funny): http://youtu.be/D-8gV4DJZUw
