LATEST WEBSITE UPDATES FOR 2010! - Admin

Just an update:

I've been working on the 5 star rating system to get the stars to load up faster. They're now embedded properly into the web pages.

Also, to make things more fair for everyone, now when you rate someone else's post you'll be given a point yourself! 😀

HI All

You are doing a grand job running the site.

One little point on the ranking system, I thought that the Fireboat was operated by the Royal Air Force not the Royal Navy. I do not think that I ever saw a crew member with bell bottomed trousers ! Although in my time at Mountbatten there was one navy rating there, why I do not know, perhaps he preferred the RAF billets.

If I knew how to give you 5 stars I would.

Kind regards nasraf

The equivalent RAF rankings:

[*] Pilot Officer
[*] Flying Officer
[*] Flight Lieutenant
[*] Squadron Leader
[*] Wing Commander
[*] Group Captain
[*] Air Commodore
[*] Air Vice-Marshal
[*] Air Marshal
[*] Air Chief Marshal
[*] Marshal of the Royal Air Force

Is that really suitable though? No! So we'll stick with the navy rankings as this website is: "A place for all model boaters! Not just Fireboats!"

As for the star rating, you'll find that there are 5 stars shown on the left or header of every post on the website. Just click them.

Fireboat. 😎

Here's a list and explanation of all the alterations that have been made over the last few days while the site has been shut down...


[*] RSS Feed can now be found at: [url=http://modelfireboats.com/rss.xml]http://modelfireboats.com/rss.xml[/url]

Originally It did not have an 'XML' file type so It should now be more compatible with your browser/RSS reader. This Is still a live feed and will be Instantly updated when new posts become available!

[*] New database! The whole site has been moved to a new database and also a new format which means more flexibility for future development.

[*] Member Profile Pages! You now have the ability to view the most recent posts made by particular members on the member profile pages.

[*] Member ranking! It's been noted that many people register on this website, take as much as they can from It and give nothing In return. The new ranking system will In time provide other benefits to members as they work up the ranks.

The ranks are not however judged on how many posts you submit, but Instead on the quality of your posts and what other members rate It as.

The ranks at the moment have been generated automatically based on post counts to get things started, but It's now down to you guys to rate other members posts!! 😀


Feel free to comment and voice your opinions about these changes below!

Ps. Rate This Post 5 Stars If You Like The Changes! 😀
