    I recently discovered that our friend Luf aka Old Slot Racer has moved to Vancouver Island. With him, retirement doesn't seem to mean watching daytime television and putting his feet up.

    In fact, and typical of the man, he has magically created a new routed 3-laner in his big basement there, and I sure hope to find myself up that way sometime soon to try it out. Meanwhile, I'll see if I can post a YouTube link on this newest version of SCI, which is himself breaking in the freshly painted track there. I'm sure that if there are any slot car enthusiasts around Campbell River, they'll want to send him a PM or something to see if there's a chance to race there.



    Note: previously, LSIntegra our Tech Admin at the time had created a nifty way of pasting a clear YouTube image/link into an SCI Post, but I'm not able right now to figure out how that's supposed to work so if anybody has been through the process please mention what you did here, to help out all those who want to add Slot Car Videos that have been uploaded into this Forum.

        Hey, thanks for that, I hadn't realized. Normally, a 'Super Mod' or 'Admin' has a much greater capacity for PM messages than a regular civilian member. But now I'm realizing that with the recent site upgrades, mine has reverted to the 25 message limit so I'll have to sort that out with Russell I think.

        My next post will be using my alter ego Ecurie O'Nuttin, and I don't think there's much stashed in that PM box, so feel free to message me there please until I get this sorted.

          This is me. Normally, I use this persona and a different browser just to try and help SCI Members by 'turning civilian', which shows more limited information on the forums.

          I'm pleased that you've pointed out this anomaly, probably arising from some manipulation of an earlier version of the V-Bulletin board by Mike when he was the 'fixer'.

          Cheers, Paul

            i don't think that which browser one uses is anything but invisible to what we see here, just matters how well you can access and use the page. chrome works better than IE nowadays for me, although being google it probably sells every step i make to the highest bidder. i enjoy flooding them with as much useless data as i can. hope that they have Petabytes of storage.

              i have a great mnemonic that i made up for all the orders of magnitude from 10**12 to 10 to the -12th, if you care. it's vaguely rated R though.

                Sorry, I thought you were wanting to send me a PM.

                Yes there are various browsers, and I take advantage of this when viewing the site as a mod and a non-mod. I'll delete these posts tomorrow, I was hoping to get some chat going about videos and Luf's track etc.

                  Hmmm.... I am trying figure out which usergroups you are associated with (there are quite a few), but so far none have a 25 message limit. If you could provide that, I could possibly look into this.

                    Russell, I'll be in touch about the board, I'm sure we can get some stuff sorted given your expertise and my recollection of how things generally work here.

                      Sorry it has taken me a while to respond, I have been BUSY with my regular work. (joys of running your own company). I am sure we can figure things out. I have a few messages in to vBulletin to hopefully fix some of the issues.
