Model Boats Magazine Website - R.I.P - Gone??
« on: May 06, 2025, 11:36:58 am »
Has Model Boats Magazine website bitten the dust?
Both Edge and Firefox return 'Invalid SSL certificate'.

Can't say I wasn't expecting it !

Exactly the same happened to me.  Like you, I think it's dead.  Colin Bishop will no doubt clarify everything in time.

I have been in touch with the webmaster, they are looking into it. The MB site is hosted on a different server from Model Engineer for reasons that are too long winded to explain here. Hopefully it will be back shortly.

It's back up again now. The websites have a lot of security checks built in otherwise they get hacked. Occasionally something gets tripped and there needs to be a reset.

Thankyou Colin. I momentarily thought the forum had become a mere memory.

The webmaster is not aware of any plans for changes at the moment, Kelsey Media bought Mortons so they are now effectively the same company and things are continuing as before although no doubt there will be a degree of back office rationalisation at some point.

Is there a problem with the web-site? It doesn't appear to have updated over the last couple of days and it won't let me log in.

All working normally Chris. Have you tried clearing the cache on your device?

Thanks, no I haven't. I'm used to having problems on my Android tablet but this is on the PC where I don't usually have problems if the site is working OK.

Cleared the cache but still not able to log in and posts out of date. Next day was able to log in after a couple of attempts and back in business.
