The Ship Model Forum

Someone on here has deleted all the build material of both of my models named above.
All I was doing was having a short break from modeling, and was intending to continue posting on the Marlborough and the Vic, later in the year. Unless these builds are restored back onto Model Warships, I will be withdrawing my continuation with these builds.

Hi Vic, I found the vic build , but where the Marlbough has gone is beyond me, it was there a few weeks ago. none of the mod,s can delete it, it has to be moved to the bottom to deletion and Cadman has the final deletion. thats a mystery. ARH

If I understand correctly, there is an auto prune feature on the message boards. If a topic has no activity for a set period of time, say 90 days, then the messages are deleted from the database by the server. So it wasn't anyone specifically deleting them.

Hi Ron, yes the Vic is still there but my Marlborough build has gone. Never mind, Iwill have to just carry on with where I left of, as it will take too much work, to post all my pics up again and do the write ups.

Yes that would take too much time Geoff, but maybe there is a back-up of these topics?
I have always found it a bit annoying, as I often know where to find something when I need it (like the R/C arrangement and lessons Dave Wooley and Ron gave) and then the topic seems to have disappeared!
Anyhow, you can continue where you stopped, we're eager to see it again!

yeah... i didn't do anything with it. you haven't touched it in months.... prolly slipped off the board. I dont know if Cadman would be able to recovery it from an old backup he did or not?

Thank's guys for your sympathies. I will continue with it, but it won't be until I return from my holiday in September. I have quite a few other jobs to attend to meanwhile and modelling will have to wait. However, Marlborough is top of the agenda when I start again, as the Vic is more or less complete now for my liking and as you have all seen, performs beautifully on the water.

You may want to save your write-ups as text files on your computer at home as you post them. That way if the thead is lost you can restore your posts quickly should you want to. If your photos are saved on the Model Warships site server you won't have to restore them as they don't "time-out" as threads do.
