    Forums were down again due to an issue identical to the one from the other day. Looking into it.

      Well it was the same issue so took about 2 minutes :)

    Why did you tear it out of a scrap book before scanning it in?
  3. proffrink

    Ok, done.

    Good time to remind everyone that the forums do have a Twitter and Facebook account used almost exclusively for tracking any down time and making announcements on any maintenance or crashes.

     

    Might be worth checking the links at the bottom of the page so that you know where to check if there's an next time (here's hoping there's not)

      Plus it's well good for sending sad reaction GIFs to Proff to keep his morale up.

      I am not one of the twatterati so have never looked there. And have never used f-book.

      I've already found them, but I want them to know what they've done.

      So wait a sec.. does this mean the thread takes a photo within the discussion and displays it as it's thumbnail?

       

      brb

    4. proffrink

      proffrink

      Yes. The first posted image becomes the thumb.

       

      This is dangerous information.

  7. proffrink

    Can someone try uploading some images to an advert and see if it works? I'm getting an error when I do.

      Well at least it's working for you guys.

      Thanks for the help :)

      Ok, I've deleted your adverts/threads now too so that you don't have to suffer through the embarrassment of having a cross-armed smiling man in a camo onesie on your phone and ready to go.

    Never trust a website that thinks it's ok to throw four consecutive exclamation marks into a product description!!!! Or two question marks for that matter.

    He knew what he was doing the second he uploaded that picture.

    s t i l l f o r s a l e ?

    Good lord
  12. proffrink
    Woah now. This thread will die if we can't talk about overpriced Combat Machines.
  13. proffrink
    A bump to let everyone know that you can now discuss AFUK classifieds listings in this thread.
  14. proffrink
    There are people who know way more about both by the way. Both have pretty strong Facebook followings so you might want to have a look there also.

    Tippmann M4s and KC02s are both really well supported and I don't think you'd be disappointed with either. Basically the question is whether you want an M4 or a Ruger .22 I have no doubt that you could get a Tippmann M4 shooting as straight and as far as your KC02, but I would consider the issue of feeding heavier BBs with the Tippmann mag (just look into this - I don't know the answer). Assume at worst it's a case of switching a mag spring. Additionally I've found lying down with that long M4 mag is a bit of a pain occasionally and the Tippmann cannot take a short mag AFAIK. If you're sniping with that KC02 then this could be a minor issue.
  16. proffrink
    Doesn't matter. Both can shoot extremely consistently if you set them up correctly.

    Done testing the new anti-bumping stuff. Thanks for all your help (you did nothing to help).

       Very welcome. Any time you need assistance like that again, don’t hesitate to ask!:D:lol:

    Tonight (Friday)/this morning (Saturday) the forums are archiving everything more than 2 years old and resizing/compressing oversized images.

     

    You'll still be able to look up these threads but they'll be on another table in the database (again, this shouldn't affect your experience at all - it's just technical stuff). Should improve performance marginally but is mostly future proofing against using up too much disk space or the database becoming too big to read rapidly.

     

    There might be a slow down whilst this happens as it's moving ~27,000 topics and resizing ~33,000 image thumbnails. Full sized images will be resized through Saturday.

     

    For a lot of you this should reduce your total attachment sizes (allowing for you to upload more). Remember you can visit https://airsoft-forums.uk/attachments/ to delete your unwanted images.

    We've just migrated so there might be some general buggy-ness, downtime or just slow speeds for the next couple of days.

     

    If you're having as serious issue with the forums related to the move then consider posting here:

    A quick reminder that the forums will be going down for part of today in order to be migrated. Don't be too worried.

    X-Fire.org will custom cut you one if you're really struggling.

    I believe one has been able to do weights (and muzzle energy) with the Xcortech ones since the early 2000s Still looks like a great bit of kit if it's anything like the build quality of their tracer units.
  23. proffrink
    There are also apps to spoof 'user agents' that might be more effective. There's certainly ways around a website detecting the device you're on so it should be very possible
  24. proffrink
    You can ask your browser to 'request the desktop version' of a website - in theory a website can't really know the difference unless it needs something ancient like Flash (which isn't present on most phones anymore). Everything else can be spoofed. Try that first by checking the options drop-down (top right on most Android browsers) when viewing the page. iOS will likely have something similar.
