I'm reading a book that takes place shortly after the Civil War in Kansas. One of the characters, a genteel Georgian dryly observes that the difference between a Yankee and a southerner is that upon meeting a Yankee he will tell you where he is going. The southerner will tell you where he is from. ...

Ah, but does it work for 12 pounders as well? :mdr: ...Well, according to Dixicrat, a 6 lbr has a bore of 3.67", and a 12 lbr has a bore of 4.62". Perhaps if we fatten the kitten with cream...? :w00t: Say! ...Jim, you live in North Carolina, which is famous for its 'possums (and rightly so!). I'm s...

I need some help with the new upload feature, please: After I click "add new file", I get a new window that lets me select a file. This works fine and I can browse the files on my computer and select the one I want. But once I click on "upload" I always get an error message: "[IOErrorEvent type="io...

If anyone is considering this mod but has reservations, you should know that its support is excellent . :) The problem I mentioned has been resolved, thanks to Philippe taking the time to write helpful notes and advice, via email and PM. Of course, the music is top notch, and provides a nice change ...

Captain Orso and I were discussing an AACW Beta Artillery issue via PM, and he sent me a GIF showing how to quickly field clean a 6 lbr! It's a very innovative method, I must say! :mdr: [CENTER] http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu305/Der_Ami_At_Bucket/Smileys/BazookaCleaning-1.gif [/CENTER] Thomm...

Hurrah! This is the 800th thread in the "General Information" forum!! :p ompom: Why is that special...? Actually, it's not. But what it is, is an excuse . It's an excuse for you , sir, to have a beer ! :w00t: So go ahead. Wherever you are, if it isn't unsafe or unwise, go ahead and enjoy a beer, to ...

[...] Now that our Queen has shown me how to post the image in the AAR I'm thinking they are a little small. Are folks having a hard time seeing these? If so I'll enlarge them. My personal opinion is that your images are the perfect size, but would benefit from higher resolution. If you save your i...

You're welcome, George! I placed the thread here for greater visibility to a wider audience.

Steve, might I be so presumptuous as to request that a re-direct be posted in the AAR sub-forum?

I've presented a medal to both gentlemen for their contribution to our community, here.

Thanks are also due to those gentlemen who responded to my PMs and emails with prompt posts in this thread. Your courtesy was greatly appreciated, gentlemen!

Our forums' new format is still being tweaked to work out the bugs. One of the problems that hasn't yet been solved is what's called "local referencing". For whatever reason, the forums' server can't find attachments that are stored on the forums. Even so, the server can reference external links. Wh...

They are commemorative labels, marking the 150th anniversary of the Civil...

Several weeks ago, Hobbes and I developed a new method of doubling the speed of our PBEM games. Or at least, we thought that it was a new idea! However, after I started a thread to share the idea with our community, Longshanks pointed out that the idea was already being used by members of our forums...

Our mystery is solved! For some reason, TheDoctorKing's response post disappeared after the forum restart. Fortunately, I have a copy of his post. :) He receives credit for the idea that I called "bilateral hosting". [Quote=TheDoctorKing][...] I did come up with the idea of "bilateral hosting" thoug...

On 1 JUN 1861, the United States Postal Service ceased all operations in the seceded states. The Confederate Postal Service took over all the existing USA post offices within the CSA. I've found an interesting web page on Confederate Postage Stamps , authored by Dr. John L. Kimbrough. Here's one exa...

My own apologies, as a beta, for having spotted it but not reporting it. I thought it was "just me" messing something up. :wacko: +1 What's even worse, though, is that it didn't even occur to me to report it. I assumed that someone much smarter and more perceptive than I had already reported it... ...

Aphrodite Mae

What a great idea, gchristie! :) I'm looking forward to seeing how the situation evolves! As far as I know, nobody has ever posted an AAR with foreign intervention. Great initiative! :thumbsup: I'll be glad to explain how to post images in a variety of different ways. Shall I do so here, or would yo...

I don't like my nice watercraft to get near high velocity iron spheres. I hate Forts when afloat, they really, really ruin my day. That said, it's worth hunting for Jabberwock's comments on how he handled Forts. IIRC, it seemed to me he made some large and muscular fleets and cruised the coasts, wi...

I have the same problem. My experience has been that the right click that closes the ledger also decrements whatever I was wanting to reduce. My workaround has been to simply jab the F2/F3 shortcut key, which avoids all of that tedious mouse-clicking business to get back to Reinforcements/Replacemen...

And just as a reminder, every time you apply a new patch you have to reinstall the mod. The patch overwrites the instruction files that tell the program what pieces of music to look for and where they're located. So if you don't re-install the mod, you'll hear even less than the plain vanilla versi...

[...]I wish you could move an opponent potraits around in regions. There are undocumented keyboard shortcuts for hiding enemy units, and your own, as well! I've forgotten them, but perhaps other forum vets remember...? It occurred to me that Caccio's battle reporter utility would be very useful, he...

Using images hosted elsewhere actually reduces the bandwidth usage of these forums; the reason we avoid it is because it's not A Nice Thing To Do That rule is meant for websites that aren't set up specifically for sharing images, e.g. games-sites or suchlike.

That's rule #11. I think that Imageshack gives permission to link to images there, afterall that's the purpose of it, no ? Unless I have misread the rule - and if so, upsss... Rafiki ? That rule is meant for websites that aren't set up specifically for sharing images, e.g. games-sites or suchlike. ...

Aphrodite Mae

Why not use Imageshack to re-paste each image, like we do to post bug images ? I considered that, but I seem to recall some prohibition in the forum rules about directly linking to offsite images. Something to do with "bandwidth", IIRC. But if I've misunderstood, then I'll be happy to give it a try...

:gardavou: I'll give it a try, immediately! EDIT : I've tried to use the url of the original images in the Beta compilation thread. No success, I'm afraid. I'll try with a different approach. EDIT : The "different approach" was to try to re-upload the images from my computer. Apparently, new images ...
