AWAITING MEMBERSHIP ACTIVATION OR ACCIDENTALLY BANNED?-----PLEASE READ-----------
G'day All,-----
Sorry for putting this in here but I thought it was the most likely place for most people to see it, and it seems that some may still not be reading the "sticky notes" posted at the top of the major forums.-----
If you are waiting to have you membership at Zone Five activated or if you have found your account has been banned accidentally;-----
We have a problem with large numbers of spammers trying to access the site using bogus registrations, and we are taking measures to try and ensure that only valid members are allowed access.-----
In order to help us with this, it would be greatly appreciated if you could include some relevant information, of your own choice, in the personal details section of your profile. This will help us confirm and activate your membership as soon as possible.-----You can delete it as soon as we have activated your membership if you have any privacy concerns. We are only interested in trying to differentiate legitimate members from possible spammers/ bogus accounts. We're not asking for anything you are not comfortable to provide, or anything particularly sensitive. There must be something simple that you can add that would just illustrate that you are a genuine member and not a spammer? We can't say what to add because the spammers could just read this and find another way through. It's not so much about what you add or about "vetting" members (We probably spend less than a second looking at it), but purely an effort to keep out unwanted spammers. Nothing else.-----
This request has been mentioned in the main forums as well.

And you can see some of the reasons why we are taking these measures in this thread.

If, after a certain time, you still haven't added any info, your account may be deleted as a suspected spammer.-----
We are very sorry for the inconvenience and delays but we hope that it helps make for a better time for those who use the forums legitimately.-----
Thank you very much for your help in this matter.-----
If you are unsure of how to add the information or wish to contact me directly about this, please use Zone5email(at)googlemail(dot)com -----
Cheers,
Motty.
Howdy! Hope you're doing well! I am slowly losing weight as well. My one pair of jeans is getting pretty baggy on me now, and I think I'll have to buy one size smaller at least! I'm feeling pretty good. I start a walk challenge at work on Sept 2 as well. Furthest distance walked in 30 days wins a Wii Fit. I'm not to focused on winning the prize as much as just finishing as well as I can.
Wow, hope you're feeling better. Nothing too serious? Glad you're back! Yeah, I would love an SP tailcode if you can spare one. I want to build one from their latest trip to Balad and would love a line jet tailcode. My address is

Thanks much Stinger and please let me know if you need postage and or other compensation. Again, glad you're back and hope all is well. Also thanks for the friend request. Take care.
Stinger,
Wanted to say thanks again for the help with the Have Glass finish. It worked out great. I also wanted to ask if you would be willing to part with one of your AB Big 22 tail codes. I would happily pay you. I can't really afford to buy the entire sheet as I want to purchase Shawn's sniper pod for a latest 22nd FS deployment build. If not no biggie and thanks again for your help. Oh, and what's the status of your 22nd/389th build? Hope all is well.
Last week was crazy with finals and some flying, this week was just about 45 hours of work and moving the girlfriend back in to her house in Eugene. No time for models!
But I'm hoping to get to work on my diorama base this weekend, I'll keep you posted with progress!
I'll be sure to look you up if I ever get across the pond...where in Europe are you??? Your diorama is just amazing...i have always admired the people who have the talent ans skills to do such work!!!!
Mesquite is about 275-200 miles east of where I live...Texas is a big place!!! I went to college in that part of the state and had some friends from Mesquite...back in 1990-1997...yeah I know the feeling your talking about, that all seems like yesterday...and it was nearly 20 years ago when started college!!!! LOL
In order to answer your question, I need some more info... Where are you hosting the pictures at? There may be a link you're using that is making you use a thumbnail instead of a full-size picture. You might look at that and see if that has any effect on your picture size. Lemme know what you find out!
