No, still not working

With 350Kb and 71 dpi it was well within maximum size.
If it was to big please delete it and let the others be visible again or all my time making them been wasted.

Sincerely
Kent

Hi all,

As some of you have noticed my gallery is still not working.
Some +300 attempt to open it this week I notice - thanks all.

As this is only a hobby for me and all work I do in making articles and photos for others to watch and maybe get inspired takes time from my build. I have decided from today stop writing and posting here until the gallery works again.
This means also all of you who send me messages with various questions not to do so any more - please respect that.

Cheers
Kent

Hello Kent,

I am quite sure that your pictures are still present on the server.
With a little tweaking you can see that, like the following URL's.

Hi Kent,

I am getting my Panther upgraded by Lee Sellers and in my opinion he is doing a fantastic job. I have added loads to the Panther including the MG ball mount expertly fashioned by yourself and made avaialable to all by Armorpax. I can't believe anyone can complain about improving an already great product. I must admit I thought it a little funny that yours was the only Gallery to have a little trouble (I checked last night) and I find it incredible that anything sinister is going on. I follow your comments on other forums and will continue as long as you do as you always add that little that this HOBBY needs.

Thank Antony

Whilst I have not checked all posts to the Gallery, I have noticed that only the first 3 pages of John Goode's pictures open aswell. So it would seem that it is not limited to Kent's.
I hope his gallery is up and running asap as far to many of the highly skilled builders from the early days of Armortek have disapeared from the forum.

The gallery is a complex piece of software and it is not easy to maintain. We use a web engineering service for this work and are reliant upon them to sort out issues as they arise. Problems have occurred on a number of different galleries and have been fixed within a short time. Our engineer is very busy a the moment, and Kent's gallery will be fixed as soon as we can.

Kent is a great model maker and a perfectionist. Sometimes, because English is not his first language, his comments can be read as overly critical, and by some as offensive. The comments received in this case were not about whether or not one should modify or improve the models, but about the way in which Kent's criticism was made both here and on other forums.

Armortek strongly encourage the improvement and modification of the models as a vital part of this hobby. We try to learn from you all and to incorporate ideas and features in new releases. We also have to ensure that we dont get carried away and have the cost rise unreasonably, so there will always be scope for improvement.

Hi guys,

I am missing the last posting from Kent in this thread.
Any ideas what happened ?

Kent

I am very sorry to hear this. Your skills, advice and critiques will be missed.

I hope all is resolved in short order.

Kindest Regards

Hi Ad

We decided to delete the last post that Kent made. We did not feel that it was right that complaints about another unnamed individual should remain on the forum in the circumstances. We have written directly to Kent to explain our actions and to invite him to re-consider his decision to withdraw from the forum. We, very much hope that he does decide to return here, because his knowledge and contribution will be missed.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your explanation. For a moment I was thinking that strange external things were happening on the forum (galleryproblems, postings disappearing, people disappearing from the memberlist).
Sigh of relief

I see that part of kents gallery has returned, hopefully it will be fully working soon now.
