    Remember Me

    in Bug Reports

    Posted

    I got logged out yesterday, when I rebooted my PC.

     

    Strange, I'm guessing you don't all have software firewalls running on your PCs or other software blocking cookies?

     

    Have you reset your cookies since the forum was upgraded?

    What happens if you click on the "Delete cookies set by this board" link and then log back in. Do you still get logged out

    again when moving between pages?

     

    Thanks

    Neil

    Folks,

     

    It's not explicitly to do with our server(s) I'm afraid to tell you ;)

    I *never* get logged out unless I do it manually. As mentioned above, the only real difference is that at the two locations where I normally check the forum, both have permanently assigned (statis) IP addresse where as a number of you will probably have ISP assigned IP addresses.

     

    It would be interesting to know which of you have static addresses and whether or not you have any problems?

     

    I believe that in an effort to prevent hi-jacking of the forum. If someone tries to post from a PC with a different IP address of that when they first logged in, then you should be thrown out. This is only supposed to be within the same session (15mins) though .. will see if I can find out when I have a mo ;)

    Peli Cases

    in For Sale

    Posted

    Morning Paul,

     

    To follow on from yesterday ... the price for 5 inserts would bring down the individual price if there were not too many mods between

    cases (and assuming that the insert is for the same model Peli case?)

     

    I may get my case back tomorrow if I am lucky and in which case I will take it to Bisley with me this weekend for anyone who

    may be interested in seeing what I am talking about. Failing that, I will take some photos.

     

    Cheers

    Neil

    Peli Cases

    in For Sale

    Posted

    Several shooters (at least five plus some more possible) have recently purchased Peli for pistol mainly model 1520. Slightly off your topic but may lend weight to your negotiations and help us.

     

    We need some decent cut inserts for the pistols (similar to that used for the 50m pistols in the Condor cases). We can provide specs and if successful, I can drop in with the sample guns for measurement. Price would have to be sensible though, most are still recoiling from the Intershoot costs.

     

    Paul,

     

    Having seen this stuff, it would be exactly what you want - only problem is it is in Aberdeen should you need to leave items to be measured but as you say, if you can provide accurate specs/sizes ... The biggest cost is time and I would imagine everyone's case

    would be unique inside, thus increasing the CAD/CAM design time ...

     

    Away over now to have a chat with them.

    Peli Cases

    in For Sale

    Posted

    I'm toying with the idea of a new case for my AP, maybe a peli 1600, price from here is about £145 [inc vat and foam]

    Any improvement on that would be handy :D

     

     

    Have a look at this case.

     

    http://www.storagetrunks.co.uk/single-case...trim-p-339.html

     

    I had one made fro my air pistols with a hinge, you have to get your own foam but I have 2 air pistols + lots of room for all your kit for only for £56 + £8 p & p

     

    Also the company will do made to measure if you ask.

     

    I have found it the best case for the money around I worked out if I had got them to make my free pistol case instead of condor I could have saved £150.

     

     

    Peter,

     

    This company make exactly the same case and supply all the foam etc. Again, knowing numbers and interest could

    potentially help obtain a discount.

     

    They supply the extrememly dense foam and use a CNC lathe to cut out sections as per your requirements.

    This would the only difficult bit for non-Aberdonians, unless you were all up/over at say the Scottish ISSF

    and potentially the company would do it at a weekend. Or if you could send very accurate templates and

    were willing to accept the liability based on what you supplied.

     

     

    It's all a thought triggered ;) from the fact that I'm going to get the foam for my case cut and if it meant helping

    some other shooters get a better deal by clubbing together ... :D

    Peli Cases

    There's one of the other posters here who got a cheap but very good case knocked up for pistol. I'm pretty sure that company would be cheaper, certainly much cheaper than the pistol case price quotes above.

     

    Rob.

     

     

    ... but not what I'm asking ;) I'm trying to guage number that may be interested. Then I'd be in a better place to try

    and negotiate discount :D

    Interesting Neil, but shipping's usually the thing that kills you with Pelis. I'm looking to get a 1500 or 1550 in a few weeks (would be now but herself's birthday took priority for a change!) but my plan was to buy on ebay and ship from the US in the hope that the euro-dollar conversion would take the sting out of the shipping. Could your chap beat those kind of prices?

     

    Sparks, you say can he beat those kind of prices - could you give an indication mate as to what you have researched and

    found to be indicitive ;)

    Hi folks,

     

    I have found a local place that is a distributor for Peli cases but they

    also make custom crates/boxes/cases which could be very useful for ammo, sights etc

     

    I am looking towards them to make a new insert for my Peli to safeguard my rifle better

    than the flimsy foam that comes with it.

     

    If there was enough interest, then I could potentially try negotiating a discount

    with them by telling them that I can put a number of British (and potentially further a field)

    shooters their way.

     

    Thoughts?

    I would hazard a guess at potentially scripting being blocked since it seems to be related to pop up type actions?

     

    Anyway, glad you are enjoying the forum and finding it useful :)

    Advice On Elbow Pads Wanted

    in Wanted

    Posted

    Vic,

     

    There are many different tops out there ..

     

    The older style Mouche tops tend to stretch and lose their shape very easily. The newer ones however

    tend to be made from neoprene and I have a couple of Mouche and Kurt Thune one, all of which I would

    recommend - they keep you cool when warm, warm when cool ;)

     

    I have to say though that the elbow pads are not hugely padded on any of the tops (in my experience

    anyway)

    Sorry, not quite sure what you mean here?

    Are you running any s/ware firewalls, pop-up blockers, AV etc?

    What problems are you experiencing with Firefox?

     

    Thanks

    Hi Niel,

     

    I sent you two emails this morning to forum-admin@stirton.com sorry if that was the wrong address, but hear is the gist of it;

    On _both_ IE and Firefox

     

    if you click the galleries button ion the top you get;

    Fatal error: Class gallery_sql_queries: Cannot inherit from undefined

    class db_driver in

    /home/stirton/public_html/forum/sources/sql/mysql_gallery_queries.php

    on line 18

    Now resolved

     

     

    If you go to a profile and click send message you get;

    Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in

    /home/stirton/public_html/forum/sources/components_ucp/gallery.php on

    line 50

    anything to do with messaging give the Fatal error: Call to a member

    function on a non-object in

    /home/stirton/public_html/forum/sources/components_ucp/gallery.php on

    line 50 error

    Now resolved

     

     

    For firefox only

    my assistant pops up two windows - firefox only IE OK

    my friends pop us nothing - firefox only IE OK

    the content of the Topic,Post,Content, Friends tabs is missing -

    firefox only IE OK

    Not looked at this yet ...

     

    I tried to save you and effort and did a search on the invision forums but failed to turn up anything interesting other that people slagging off old version of firefox. You are more familiar with invision so you may have better luck

     

    If I can be of any help don't hesitate to ask I am also a programmer ;)

    Hi Julian,

     

    Thanks for looking. I am aware of the above - all related to the gallery which I didn't receive the update to with the rest of the forum.

    The new forum uses an upgraded security model hence why the older gallery software is failing to connect to the database ;)

     

    Cheers

    Setting Up A Invision Forum

    in Info

    Posted

    Hi Bob,

     

    There are several incarnations of forum software out there to be honest.

    Among the best known are this one (www.invisionboard.com), vBulletin (www.vbulletin.com) and phpBB (www.phpbb.com)

     

    This forum used to be phpBB until I upgrade to Invision v1 a couple of years ago (which was also free back then). Now both Invision and vBulletin are commercial products but they do provide greater control, especially from an Admin point of view.

     

    To expand on what Marfulee has said:

    Invision can run under pretty much any web serving engine (Apache, IIS etc as long as it supports PHP)

    The standard price includes the MySQL driver but you can also now purchase MSSQL or Oracle for an additional $50 I think.

     

    You've got fairly granular control over user & group permissions and how you manage the forum to be honest. You can make it is open and simple as possible, or as tied down and complex as you wish.

     

    1) $200-300 (or look into one of the freebies)

    2) Nothing that anyone with a bit of technical savvy will struggle with

    3) Not really. To keep the integrity of this forum, registered user's have

    to be manually approved before their account is active. You can setup

    auto-archiving of the database etc if you want.

    4) A web server of some kind supporting PHP, and a database server such as MySQL (MSSQL or Oracle also possible with some of the systems)

     

    Cheers

    Cannot Add Calendar Events

    in Bug Reports

    Posted

    Ok Rob,

     

    Try now.

     

    There are a lot of new options to administer the forum and for some reason the ShootingMods group didn't have permissions to post a calendar item.

     

    I have also removed the need for all calendar events to be approved since I trust you all not to post anything daft :)

    Thanks John,

     

    I've actually got 3 little half sisters and ultimately it would nice to get them all their own pistol ... It was actually Micky Gault that suggested it because we could get a new for under £300. A nice Steyr would be idea but a little expensive.

     

    We have compressed air cylinders but correct me if I'm wrong, everyone seems to be going away from CO2.

     

    2nd air pistols seem to be difficult to find.
