    I propose "Russian Civil Aviation News" thread to be moved to Russia section and become sticky. I would like opinions of members on this

    Forum Technical Issues - Page 2 Empty Problems accessing RMF

    Post  2SPOOKY4U Tue Mar 17, 2015 3:23 am

    RMF may be blocked in my area, could someone in the U.S. check for me?

    I tried to access this site with Chrome, a few hours ago it worked fine.

    Now I get a black background with the text "Blocked by Web Filter".

    I am sending this via Tor browser.(They can't stop me)

    Have moved the "Russian Civil Aviation News" to the Russia general discussion section.

    Will make it sticky when I am able. Smile

    @2SPOOKY4U have you looked through the advanced settings of Chrome... it is controlled by Google so they might have set the default settings to be anti Russian... check through the trusted and untrusted sites... you might be able to enable access yourself.

    RMF is certainly not blocked in the US. I am accessing it from New Jersey.

    It is all fixed, it is what happens when you leave your modem alone with other people that you used to trust.

    Honestly the arrogance of some people. You invite them into your home, you see them as colleagues with shared interests with differing opinions.

    They get frustrated at losing some arguments, decide to see if my modem is unsecured and block a few sites, (they even blocked the Wiki page on Russia).

    When I confronted them, they(American, born and raised) state that a "good Ukrainian should not browse such a site, you should be more patriotic"..."I can't believe I am hearing this, one day you will understand how wrong you are".

    The arrogance of people that think they are more knowledgeable about a place that they have never been to, than a person that was born there, and lived there.

    Astounding, sorry for clogging this thread with a personal issue.

    It has always been working fine for me, possibly there is some kind of browser bug that doesn't let you access certain sites.

    Quickly would be a problem I think... going to your profile there is a link that will list all the posts a member has posted, but you would have to go through manually to delete them all I think.

    deleting an account would not be possible I think for a member either...

    Can one of the moderators please change the name of this thread to "Forum Issues". Forum issues can then be discussed here rather than as off-topic items in other threads.

    I suspect the main thing stopping you using an animated GIF as an avatar is its size.

    Resize it to the size requirements and it should work AFAIK.

    Hmm, unuseful Avatar settings for this forum. Limitations kill just every awesome gif there is, with 64KB that is just to low for anything military related from a video.

    Hi Admin/Moderators,

    Some of the pages in RMF, simply no longer exists. So when you try to find that page you get an error message:

    For example, I was looking into the thread "Russian nuclear forces by the number" and I get this above error message for Page 4 of this thread:

    " No posts exist for this topic".  However this can't be true, because a cached copy of this page is available if you do a Google search.

    Any specific reason why pages are "disappearing"? Thanks.

    Probably several posts were moved into another thread due to the off-topic comments.

    But Werewolf there was nothing off topic on that particular thread. Morpheus and another forum member was discussing about Russian MARVs.So it was completely related to that thread. I cannot post links yet, else I would have posted the URL of the cached copy.

    That was just a guess, because off-topic talk and afterwards moving the off-topics to more appropriate threads happens sometimes.

    Just a little reorganization, Military Multimedia has been taken from the bottom under General Discussion and given its own category near the top of the homepage.

    Is there any way to resize large pictures that gets posted? It messes up the pages and doesn't show it in full. I'm not against posting large pictures, but it would be helpful if these pics automatically gets resized to sizes within the forum page width. There should not be actual reduction in size, but the original pics should show as 600 or 800px in width with the option to see the original size by clicking on to it.
