    Undue excitement on our part. Quite understandable.

    Clark, could you check your domain on godaddy.com to make sure that the DNS servers I sent you are actually set for battlestations96.org? Its kind of unusual for it to not work by now.

    I've checked, they were there in one spot, but not in another. But kind of wierd that I could see the site at the .org address and no one else could, ja?

    OK, this is just plain frustrating. All I see from my laptop is the GoDaddy page, and all I see from my android phone is a 'page not found'. What the heck????
    And yes, I've reloaded the page several times. And I've tried it from both IE and Mozilla. Just the GoDaddy...
    Arghhhh.....

    Yay I can see it!

    Looks good, I like the simple and clean layout and the header graphics are subtle and well chosen.

    Carl, just be patient it has nothing to do with your browsers just the DNS servers you are using. I noticed the .org just started working for me right now.

    As I said, the site is still a work in progress. I'd like to redo the BATTLESTATIONS banner at the top to better blend in (think, transparant background). I can load as many images as I want to blend in the top part also (right now, there are only three). And we need some more content & links and all that jazz. But thanks for the complements.

    I'll email you some links shortly. Maybe some plans in 1/96, too. Mainly French, but I have open-source plans for other things, too.

    Hey Guys,
    Is the site open to anyone, or just the guys doing the 96 Scale??

    Its open for anybody to use. Although there is little benefit to registering at this point, except being able to comment in some sections and use the fb like button in the photo gallery. In the future I will be adding more features like, being able to upload pics which will require registration.

    You have a typo in your left hand nav menu. Youve got 'Communictions' where you should have 'Communications'

    Also I registered, even though there's pretty much no way I'll get into building a 1/96th, I just like to forget passwords.

    OK, I can see it now. You've got a great start, Chase! This is gonna be so awesome!

    One thing I'd love to see is a way to change our own entries in the Captain's Cabin. It's really hard for one person to keep this up to date, and let's face it -- we change our minds all the time about what we want to build. :) It would also be good if there were a way to change our own info in the radio room, as that also changes frequently.

    Also, we need to decide how best to post the ship lists. Whether we want separate twiki pages for each nation and ship like Joe used to do, or whether we just want to post the ship list spreadsheets.

    Actually, Nick, we put that button in just for you. 'Communictions' is for people who wish to commune directly with Nick, whereas if we wanted everyone to talk together, we'd have a 'Communications' button. Sorry for the confusion :)

    ps- thanks for the feedback :)

    Check your spam filter Nikki, the authorization email got caught in mine.

    Nikki, I'm going to suggest that you not worry about the Battlestations site right now. I think you need to focus your time and energy on your existing ships and figuring out how those go working before trying to figure out the other formats. You can get signed up for so many forums that all you have time for is to read and write messages and not spend any time on a ship! ;) Stay talking about 1:144 right now, and let them figure out their format without a bunch of unnecessary (since you're not going to be battling in it any time soon) questions about their format.
