Use the SteelNavy.Com Message Board for the exchange of ship modeling ideas and techniques, collector inquiries, thumbnail reviews, buy/sell (no Ebay items with the exception of AAA Model Hobbies which is an E-Bay Store & a sponsor!), and discussions of nautical topics. Be civil and keep your comments on topic. Maintain a sense of humor. NO political discussions or diatribes will be tolerated. For commercial entities announcements are for SteelNavy.com sponsors only. Felix "The Enforcer" Bustelo is now a moderator, so be warned. The Gambino family are light weights compared to "The Enforcer".
Some may have noticed that there have been no updates since 18 September. The reason is that Yahoo quit supporting MS Front Page in September since Micro Soft quit supporting its own product about 5 or 6 years ago, effectively freezing Steelnavy.com as of 18 September. The site could no longer be opened in the Front Page Program or any other for any change. Front Page was completely incompatible with the common FTP web programs. Text could be saved by downloading the site into FTP files but every link and every photograph was broken and the only way to restore them was to rebuild each page with links and pictures, one picture at a time. With over 300,000 such items to be restored one item at a time; I was unwilling to invest years of my rapidly diminishing life to undertake such a task. There were multiple furious bouts of activity with Yahoo technicians, followed by abject failure to import Steelnavy.com files into Yahoo’s Site Builder FTP program as was assured for success by each Yahoo rep. Apathy took hold, followed by resignation. Finally, on 6 January I talked to a Yahoo technician who knew his stuff and advised that an FTP program could never import Front Page files, because of the totally unique and alien nature of Front Page programming. The solution turned out to be relatively simple, open a new web site and link all of the steelnavy.com material through hyperlinks and store new material on the new site which is http://www.steelnavy.net/. The steelnavy.net site is now open and updated with a review of a 12 Gun Royal Navy cutter, HMS Speedy 1828 by the Enforcer in light of his continual prodding of my derriere with sharp sticks. Although, there are a few bugs to fix, such as icons for B&D, L’Arsenal and Starfighter, still missing on the main page and replacement of the SteelNavy.com logo with a new SteelNavy.net logo, it is ready to go and most importantly can be updated. Although both steelnavy.com and steelnavy.net are active and functional, steelnavy.com will never be updated and steelnavy.net will be with full access to all of the material published on steelnavy.com.
