Do you mean that working on new code happens on the production server and not on a separate development server?

Nothing is perfect and even as a subscriber I do not expect it to be.
This is a terrific site and the administrators do such a great job I think they really need applause. It is far from easy to maintain and monitor a web site, even though it does seem like a matter of a few clicks to do wonderful things.
What can be an inconvenience to some is often a great headache to fix.
Let be...

My tuppence Ha'penny worth.

I originally posted back on April 5th that the Feedback button was still broken, making it necessary to go to the actual post in another forum to post my reply. I received a few posts that Jim had to disable this feature during site upgrades, and others posted that Jim is in the process of selling his house and moving across the country to New Hampshire. Why continue to do upgrades to the site software if you won't be able to complete them in a timely manner due to a major move? By now I'm assuming that Jim has made his cross country move, and has settled into their new home.

Well, it's now July 18, 2018, and the feedback button still is disabled. Why? Honestly at this point, I really don't see it being fixed any time soon.

It was a very handy tool to post your comments on several new items without having to go to a different forum each time, then back to the original forum.

I know that Jim is working updating the site, and this takes time as there are some major changes coming. Unfortunately, Jim has not had the time to work on this as he has just moved from one side of the country to the other. He is in the process of getting set up, and I do believe that the work will start again in getting these changes done.

Kevin,
Thanks for the update. It's a function that I use to use quite often, and do find that the extra few steps does become an issue after a while.

If you watch the latest "Mail Call" videos, you will hear about Jim selling his house and future move (to New Hampshire I think).

I just posted on the AMK F-14D update, and once again I had to go to the forum post to reply, then manually back to the news forum. After a few times of this, I just moved on, and tend not to post anything unless I'm dying to say something.

It's been nearly two months since I posted about the feedback button still not working. Kevin posted that Jim is working on an improved code for a better overall experience, and had to disable this function to do so. I just can't believe that it's taking month after month after month to do this.

Relax Joel, It isn't worth it getting upset about this.

I guess there are simply too many other things to do.

For myself, I decided to wait for an improved system and limit my contributions for the time being. It makes me fail a few campaigns, but I already failed campaigns for other reasons that have nothing to do with technology.

Also, don't underestimate the amount of work required to update this site. It has barely evolved during many years (e.g. the gallery problem is there since the beginning) and now the accumulatd amount of work must be huge.

Don't forget that there is only one programmer.

At the end, it leaves more time to do some actual modelling.

Jim is in the process of updating the code with some new features and it needed to be disabled during the process. He working to give us a new experience, so a little patients will be needed.

Thanks
