    As with the others very happy to help - using a laptop on windows 11, but unlike the others I seem to be the only one using Firefox, so would be useful to check all types of browser, as I know that a number of sites I use do not support Firefox.
    One issue I have found is that if I have been reading other posts, getting back to QoD is often very haphazard.

    Hi Stephen,
    I would be happy to take a look at /Beta test the new site
    Have done this for many large commercial sites over the years as I was in IT for my whole career.

    Stephen; unlike the others I have no knowledge of website design. However I do have some beta testing background so perhaps I could help from that perspective. Sounds like an interesting & certainly a challenging project. If I could provide worthwhile assistance I would like to participate in your project.

    luckyduckโ€™s comment that he runs Firefox for his browser prompts me to include that I run Appleโ€™s Safari. Another OS to test your new site.

    Stephen, let me know if you need someone to checkout the new beta site. I have been involved in web site creation since the 1990's (writing them in html), so I think I can give it a good exam and if needed, any recommendations.

    (I have Microsoft and Android OS's, no apple stuff.)

    I'm sure you are aware of one fault with the current site, perhaps a difficult one to cure, is the duplication of topics. For example, posting a new topic such as "how do I wire two ESCs". (Over the years, this topic has been repeated a number of times.)

    I don't mean to be critical, just an example. I really like this site and many of the contributors. Many times it (site + members) has helped me out as well as keeping my interest up.

    Hi Stephen, I'm not a computer expert, far from it.

    I think I can provide you with feedback on the three points you listed, even without any specific knowledge.
    If you're in need and don't have any other volunteers, please let me know.
    I'd be happy to help.

    Stephen,

    I am willing to help, if you need more people.

    Desktop: Windows 10 64 bit Chrome Version 147.0.7727.117 (Official Build) (64-bit)
    Laptop: Windows 11 64 bit
    Mobile: Samsung Android V.16
    iPad: 5th Gen IOS V 16.7.12

    I use Chrome as my browser on all.

    So far my collection resembles "The Island of Misfit Toys". I've picked up several boats that are old builds and have been neglected. I'm giving them the TLC they need, hoping to bring them back to their former glory. Once I get enough practice/ experience I intend to take on a full build.

    You can count me in, I'm using a PC, laptop and tablet and rarely my phone.
