Until you reach your 300th post, when asked, you must send more senior members aftermarket decals for free 3. Until you reach your 500th post, when asked, you must send more senior members aftermarket resin parts for free Just kidding of course! WELCOME ABOARD!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ross blackford Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 :D, Welcome Marc to our slightly mad little forum here and don't take too much notice of Mike C it gets pretty cold down where he lives and Melbournians are known to get frozen brains in winter. Why, they even have about half a dozen intersections in the middle of the city where you turn right from the gutter lane, :wacko: or if you live in a LHD country it would be like turning left from the gutter lane. Don't you Mike? :lol: , Ross. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netz Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) And don't "Quote" on every reply, a newbe mistake....often seen when a string of photo's are posted, and one will hit the "Quote" button and will reply something like "Nice Job" bringing with it all the previous photo's already posted.(this is also done by some seasoned members) The "Reply" button within someones post will also function as a "Quote" it's best to go to the bottom of the page where you will find the Blue "Add Reply" button to add your comments to a thread. Quotes are useful when trying to explain or comment on a photo or text posted, and other non relevant photo's can be removed buy deleting the specific photo's url's and unwanted text,specific text can be highlighted to point to a specific line your commenting about. Overall this will bring down the abbreviated thread. Yes this is my pet peeve, as it is very rude and monotonous having to scroll past 3 feet of photo's that you have already seen just to see someone write "Nice", it also relieves Band Width for the few that still have slow internet connections.

Mike C Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 gets pretty cold down where he lives and Melbournians are known to get frozen brains in winter. Maaaateee!! It's the best place! Yes, it gets cold in winter, but so what? All the better to cuddle up with a hottie, aye? And we have LOTS of 'em down here! Why, they even have about half a dozen intersections in the middle of the city where you turn right from the gutter lane They're THE BEST! It's always very amusing to see interstate drivers getting all sorts of reactions from the locals... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A-4Silverfox Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Welcome, and you can just about forget about building, let alone finishing a model when you get hooked on this place. Really. This crowd will have you rolling on the floor laughing half the time, and the remainder of the time you'll just stare at somebody elses build and wonder "Why do I even try!". And I ain't even going to tell you about them rowdy Canadians and their wonderful mail system. But they do have good coffee...just can't mail it to anybody! Good Luck.

Mike C Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 But they do have good coffee...just can't mail it to anybody! We've got fantastic coffee down here in Melbourne too. I'm willing to bet that our coffee can beat the Canadian's! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
