I don't think anything happened to it. I can see it just fine. What exactly is the problem? Erik

Gallery is back online. Thanks for the report. Regards; Erik

Hi; Here are some of the top responses I send to fix problems. 1. Make sure your browser settings allow for cookies from our domain combatace.com. If your security is set too high the site can't pass the information to your browser correctly. Try lowering them or setting them to a default setting. 2. Make sure your browser allows pop-ups from our site. All downloads are passed through a pop-up window to minimize full windows we open. If you use a pop-up blocker OEM or otherwise, disable it, or configure it to allow pop-ups from our site. We do not send advertisements or any other junk in pop-ups, it's safe to allow them here. 3. Is your account validated? Once you sign up for a username and password to access the forums and downloads we will send you an email to validate your account. If you don't receive this email because of security or spam settings on your email account then you will not be allowed to member only features such as downloads. Before joining please make sure you've allowed email from our domain at combatace.com. 4. Firewall / Antivirus software needs to be configured or set to allow for downloads and pop-ups. For obvious reasons we can't support each specific vendor's software and have to rely on the enduser (you) to make sure these types of security software are configured for our site. The good folks here work hard to keep our site safe and user friendly. While we can't guarantee that the internet is safe for everyone, we at least want you to know that your time here is and will remain a browser safe environment. Not all of these may apply to you specifically, but they are the top responses I send to existing and new members. I hope this helps and as Fates mentioned if you have more details we'd be happy to dig deeper into finding a resolve. Regards; Erik

Hi; I took a look at the email issue and confirmed it was working. I also filed a trouble ticket with invision power boards to confirm there were no problems. I'm receiving email from the site, if you're not you may want to whitelist our domain "combatace.com" so that spam or junk mail filters don't delete it before you see it. Let me know if you find anything. Erik

I'll take a look. Thanks for the report. Erik

Nice! Love the flight deck. Erik

Hi; Sorry for the trouble. We had a corrupt table in the database that has been repaired. All services have been returned to full operational status. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Regards; Erik

Wow ... just noticed that to date the site has delivered over a quarter million files. I'm impressed. Erik

Thank you ... glad you like it ... take a bow Fates.

Thank you ... glad it's working for you ... take a bow Fates. :-)

Hi everyone; We are aware that the files section of the site is offline. The downtime is due to updates to the site. The download section is being updated and should be back online in the upcoming days. We apologize for the inconvenience and we appreciate all the emails alerting us to the problem. In full support of our community, thank you. Regards; Erik Thompson

Downloads are back online!

Fixed the header ... we're working on an image set for this skin it's a work in progress.

Hi guys; We had some pretty substantial changes happen to the forum and site this week, which account for the downtime. We apologize for the inconvenience and we're working hard to return everything to normal. The site downloads will probably be down another day or two but they will resume as the source code can be brought up to date with the new software. As we continue to provide each of you a home and terrific resource we appreciate your patience and understanding. Best regards; Erik Thompson

Hi; Sounds possibly like your machine is timing out with ours. I'll take a look and see if there's anything noticeable. Thanks for the news. Erik

I'll take a peek and see if I can duplicate it here. Thanks; Erik

Interesting ... I see you on the member list just fine. It's possible the script doesn't return your own username in the member list as it probably assumes you already know you're a member. I'll take a look, but from what I can see at first glance everything appears normal. Take care; Erik

Welcome! It's great to see another great talent adding to the site. Looking forward to seeing your contributions. Have fun! Erik

CombatACE Members and Staff; With the completion of the new site and forum login integration we want to make sure everyone is comfortable with the new system. To help give an understanding of what's taken place in the past week here are some brief details. All users that were signed up with the main site (NOT THE FORUMS) were removed from our database. This was the duplicate login issue everyone disliked and we revamped. All users that were registered with the forums (WHERE YOU ARE NOW) were left intact. Most users had identical user names and passwords, for those folks you'll need only use your forum login access from this point forward on both the main site and forums area. If you never had a forums login account you'll need to create one. Now one login either on the main site or the forums logs our users into both so features available to only registered users are now visible when logged in. No more confusing mess. If you're having problems we want to know about it. Please post them here so we can help resolve them for you or for us. Thank you for your help and understanding. Erik

Without a doubt CONGRATS! Have fun. Erik

Now if I can only get my new player to sling a side arm there would have only been one us walking out of there. Oops maybe I said too much. Erik

Freeware is always tough when it comes to getting all the cool toys. I can mention off the top of my head the feelthereCRJ, PMDG737, PMDGB1900, FlightOne ATR72-500 are probably the best available but not free. You're welcome to visit the westcoastatc.com site for links and freeware from our file library, there's been some contributions there as well. Have fun. Erik
