    In the editor pane, if we highlight text, now there is good contrast to the shading, much easier to see what you're doing. Thanks! Prost! Brad

    Does anyone know what happened to All The Kings Men 54mm toy soldiers? Their website doesn't seem to work anymore.

    Almost 10 years ago. If I remember correctly, he was going to focus on running the farm he and his wife lived on. Yeah, I'm surprised the website still loads, too. Prost! Brad

    Sure thing! I test software for a living; I'm a QA analyst. Glad to help out! Prost! Brad

    Interesting-when I choose the Mark forums read feature from the What's New page, then the modal has a white background with black text: Different style sheets for those pages? Anyway, that's probably the best style for that popup, wherever it is called. Prost! Brad

    Similar to my earlier post about the text color visibility in modal popups, in the text editor, when adding a reply, if we highlight text to crop it, eg, by placing the cursor at the end of a line, then holding the shift key and placing the cursor at the other end of the line, there is no...

    Here is an item for the upgrade punch list-the text in some dialog modals is black on the dark green background, and nearly impossible to see: White text would be most visible. Prost! Brad

    Any Info Input About Stadden

    Those are some pretty serious allegations. Can you provide more specific examples, such as photos, of figures that John Eden and Magnus Lindstrom are supposed to have produced without copyright? I know that the Tradition website includes figures from other brands than Tradition, but all brands...

    OK, and the text entry panel is open by default, at the bottom of the page. You don't need to click a button to open it. Just enter your text then click Post Reply. Prost! Brad

    I just realized now that Reply includes quoting the specific post. Interesting. That's different from the previous functionality, if I'm not mistaken. If you don't want to quote, you can clear the quoted text from the text entry pane, though. Post Reply is just "add a post to this thread". I...

    The style reminds me of the Hobby Bunker forum. Prost! Brad

    Things that annoy me

    I choose to live without air conditioning. I keep my windows open. I do have ceiling fans in several rooms, to circulate air. But I prefer natural air circulation to processed air. I wonder sometimes whether some of the respiratory problems people have today come from having spent so much...

    RIP, Oddball. Donald Sutherland has passed at 88

    Well, they're up there. Like the dwindling WWII vets, and baseball greats from the 50s and 60s like Willie Mays. The way of the world...

    Identifying 54mm Napoleonic British figures.

    Welcome to the forum, Matt! Were you able to upload the images? I'm curious to see them. I have a hunch that they are King-White/Reeves, because the early figures from Frontline, King & Country, and Jenkins all resemble King-White in the style of their sculpting and painting. It's sometimes...

    That makes sense, if it's pronounced with a short a in the rest of the Anglosphere, but I hear American broadcasters pronouncing that way, too. An affectation, perhaps, or perhaps they've only heard Commonwealth denizens use the word. The rule that a final e lengthens the vowel in that...

    Things that annoy me

    And while I'm at it, here are a couple more, some words that are frequently mispronounced, particularly by people who talk for a living: It's "lackadaisical", not "laxadaisical", "pundit", not "pundint" or "pundent", and "lambaste" is pronounced with a long a, "lam-bayst", not "lam-bast". It's...

    Toy soldier armageddon

    I've had similar experience, and not just with toy soldiers. I think my depth perception has deteriorated somewhat, as I've gotten older.

    The real issue here isn't that they have opinions, but that they believe they are unassailable, and can't take it if anyone calls them out or disagrees. As Combat noted, they live in a bubble and aren't used to hearing "No". We have a right to free speech, but we don't have a right not to be...
