Yeah, that or this!

Good morning,

This week we will be switching the website and forum from its current server and technology to a modern, mobile friendly platform.

The timeline is as follows:

05/10/23 8am BST – Current site to go offline and a holding page put up.

10/10/23 9am – Moderators given access to new site for checking.

12/10/23 10am – New site online – All being well this will happen before this date.

We will post updates here:

www.mortonsdigital.co.uk/blog/2023/10/02/model-engineer-model-boats-forum-migration-updates/

Please bookmark that page now before this forum goes offline.

When the new site goes live, you will need to log in with your email address and password. If that doesn't work you can do a password reset.

If you don't have access to the email address on your account here, you should change it before Thursday or you may be locked out.

Thanks for your support and patience

Hi John, we'll try to add as many formats as you need. If something won't upload, let me know and we can put an exception in to allow it.

I think it's safe to say this is probably the most complicated thing we have ever done! It's getting there but I've stopped putting dates on it!

Step 1: Go to Settings, then scroll down and select “Safari”.

Step 2: Scroll down to “Privacy & Security”.

Step 3: If “Block All Cookies” is ticked (green/white), click to allow cookies.

Step 4: Clear the browser cache (at the bottom of that page) and reopen the browser.

It will, yes. It would be useful if you could list the type of files required (extension letters).

Let's go for victory - I want to still have a job by the summer!

Sorry John, I've asked someone to email you

Thanks - I'm trying to fix this!

Hi Chris - I'm glad you asked that! The rest are uploading as I type this, I have some processing to do and the whole archive should be complete by midnight!

Pre-ordering not only secures your copy, but you should get it through your door a day or two before it hits the shops!

Here's the cover for the September issue of Model Engineers' Workshop, and you can pre-order from here with free UK delivery: PRE-ORDER MODEL ENGINEERS' WORKSHOP

Thanks - i can fix that with the archive

On the current issue, i'm just trying to track down who should be doing that!

Good afternoon. By this evening, the Model Engineering archive should be complete. Let me know if you find any problems or anything missing.

We will then look at completing Worksop and Boats (RCM&E is done)

Happy reading, and thanks for bearing with us.

Hi everyone. Just a bit of back story. When Mortons acquired four titles (ME MEW MB RCM&E) from MyTime Media, the archive system didn't come with it.

In the past few weeks, we have had to build four brand new archives from scratch, integrate it with our publishing system and subscription system, and rename and upload 100s of magazines in date order.

This has been a mammoth undertaking for us, and we are still at it.

I'm happy to say that there will be at least 100 new issues in the ME archive by midnight tonight, and at least another 100 by the end of the week.

Apologies for how long it's taking, but this wasn't a case of just switching something over.

Give me a shout if you have any problems or questions.

Hi everyone,

We are testing using a different security certificate. If you were getting the unsafe message previously, could you try again now and let me know?

Thanks
