#1: The uploading of avatars has been discontinued. I forget to back-up images . Upload it to an image host and link it in your profile. Or choose one of our 900 stock avatars or no avatar at all.
#2: "Display Name" changes are no longer being accepted. The name you picked is the one you got... Period!
Edit 2:
Several forums have been set to "auto expire" topics at between 180 and 360 days. You will see:
"Post's auto expire after XXX day's inactivity." At the top of that forum/sub-forum's index. This is a measure to save database back-up download size.
Thank you for you time.

Because of some recent "house cleaning"(75MB off the database) VIP's are not seeing new posts tracked on the forum index.
This is because I purged the "last visit time" table from the database (it was huge not as large as the "private topic" table but close!)
FiX:
Goto "User CP"-->click "Mark All Read"-->click "Toggle" to select them all -->click on "Continue" The script will mark all threads as "Read" and return you to the index.
Next:
Goto "Help"-->click "My Cookie Utility"-->click "Expire Cookies" When done logoff of the forum.
Last:
Log back in!

We are pleased to announce to the flight simulation community, that the Royal Air Force Museum at Cosford in the United Kingdom, have once again offered their base to be the venue for next year's show. Summer Sim 2010, as it will be known, will once again be taken to this fantastic museum in the heart of Shropshire.
John Marshall Managing Director of Astrasim Expo Ltd commented on the announcement "this is a real window of opportunity for the community not only in the UK but beyond, to come together and display all that is good about flight simulation".
The big news is that next year all non profit organisations including the likes of virtual airlines, air traffic control, cockpit builders, will be allowed to exhibit for FREE. This will help bring the community closer together open new partnerships between the different organisations and most importantly introduce the public to the exciting and varied world of flight simulation.
John also said "the 2009 event had to be cancelled; it had become apparent that market forces were not only against us but other industries, in what has been a very testing time economically for all companies.
With the new business model we now have in place and at last some light on the horizon for many, we are confident and believe we can deliver a world class show to the flight simulation community in 2010".
Further details will be made available via the official show web site on exhibiting, trade and public visitors to the event.
For more information on Summer Sim 2010 please visit our web site http://astrasimexpo.co.uk/.

Cascade Game Foundry Forges Ahead, Opens New Simulation Game Development Studio
Founded By: Former Microsoft Aces Studio Veterans
Seattle, Washington, October 12, 2009 - Cascade Game Foundry, a new game development studio in Washington, today announced their entry into the simulation marketplace with an experienced team of industry pros poised to create a portfolio of innovative and engaging products which will appeal to both aficionados and people new to the genre.
The two founders, Creative Director Rick Selby and Managing Director Kathie Flood, are no strangers to simulations - both are former Microsoft Aces Studio leaders and industry veterans. Not only will Cascade Game Foundry address the significant hole in the simulation market left by Microsoft's recent departure, it will push new boundaries with the latest in cutting-edge graphics, simulation and web technology.
"The beauty of starting a new studio is that we get to reconsider all our preconceived notions," comments Selby, a former Lead Product Designer at Microsoft. "Our previous efforts focused on building traditional simulation titles. However, now we get to redefine what a simulation game can be. As a designer, that is incredibly liberating." From a gameplay standpoint, Cascade Game Foundry is looking to broaden the market. "The hardcore simulation fan is the critical foundation, but why stop there?" says Selby. "We want to deliver unique experiences that appeal to diverse audiences around the world."
Flood, a former Microsoft Senior Program Manager with 15 years of industry experience, is excited about the possibilities. "We want to combine the naturally inquisitive nature of the human spirit with the stunning resources of the planet. The simulation market is known to be a strong, consistent performer, but our vision extends beyond flying and railroading," she says. "Think of SCUBA diving off Hawaii, traversing the Andes, hiking the Great Wall of China ... the possibilities are endless."
Selby and Flood are joined by a number of other former Aces members and game industry veterans. "We have an incredible team lined up across all disciplines," adds Flood. "Every person has numerous years of professional experience and a proven track record of delivering multi-million-selling titles. "We see this as a wonderful opportunity to reinvigorate the simulation market with a quantum step forward and our products will convey that sense of passion, fun and excitement that we have always had for the genre."
"If you love simulations, the news is going to get better and better," hints Selby.
Cascade Game Foundry, LLC is hard at work on the design and demo for their first project.
