Can we look into getting a mobile version of the site? If you need help setting it up I would be able to point you in the right direction. Simply making a subdomain and installing a mobile style and a simple redirect is all you need to do. Also, there are systems called berryblab and tapatalk.com which let you read the forum easily through apps on your blackberry and iphone respectively. I have all three of these on my site and it makes access to your site better.

After much trial and error, I have a beta version of the C-130 Database Aircraft Profile data entry system and approval system in operation. As I am sure you all can imagine, entering histories for 2,400 pus aircraft is quite an undertaking for one person. It is my hope that the community will join in and help me push the project forward. Please help me by adding/updating entries and/or encouraging persons with firsthand knowledge of the aircraft to add entries and/or funnel info to us. Here's how it works: 1) On the right side of each history entry, there is a pencil icon and a plus symbol icon. Members who are logged in can click them to edit the entry (pe…

Hi Casey, I've noticed some advertisements showing up on the web site. I guess if more people had donated to your cause, the ads wouldn't have been a neccessity. I know you have put a lot of your own money into this site. Too bad more people couldn't have sent you a few bucks. Don R.

Thought I would head off any questions. I'm the idiot who nuked the forum. It was an accident, clicked the wrong button. All member uploaded images were lost. I'm sorry, please resubmitt. I'll get to reloading the Production Number Gallery and other images that I have (10,000 or so of them) and reconfiguring everything. Just the way thing have gone lately. When it rains it pours....and pours....and pours... Maybe I can make some improvements with the reload. Again I apologies. --Casey [ATTACH]1702[/ATTACH]

Gallery Issues
by Guest Casey- 4 replies
- 3.3k views
All, The updated templates (site look) has caused some issues with the gallery. I am working to restore it's functionality and images. Unfortunately, I don't have a time frame for the fix. In fact, there is the possibility that I will be forced to go back to the old templates to correct it and/or may not be able to restore the images. I realize this is the third time that we have had issues with the gallery, I apologize for that. Please keep in mind that I have no formal training at this stuff and have to learn by trial and error and I have been learning more than I would like by error as of late. If I am unable to restore the images, I will have to ask me…

All, I am currently developing a C-130 database for the site and would like to share what I have accomplished this far with our members. Ideas, inspiration and data for the project have come from 3 sources: Lars Olausson's "Lockheed Hercules Production List", Bob Daley's "C-130 Inventory Listing" and F-16.net's "Aircraft Database." "Thank you" to each. Progress thus far: Created database to house info relating to each aircraft. Created basic data entry form. Created basic database search (located on each database page.)
