On Tuesday 13 Feb this site will be migrated to a new host. We are assured that no content currently on this site will be lost and that the new host format will be live on Wednesday 14 February 2024.</p><p>So, for a short period, the site will not be accessible. When it re-appears it will look very similar to how it looks now, but there will be a few different and enhanced functions for you to try out. Please be patient.</p><p>The Moderator team [across all brands] have been experimenting with a dummy forum (trying to break it), and it has some exciting features. You can continue posting here, in the meantime, and resume posting once the migration has taken place.</p><p>Looking forward to seeing you all there.</p><p><strong>Posted on behalf of Moderator Andy P.</strong></p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">35071</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Feb 2024 10:04:44 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Scalextric set 55</title><link>https://staging-community.hornbyhobbies.com/forums/topic/31596-scalextric-set-55/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>Hi.

Any chance we can at the least get a rejection notice? I understand that feedback would be a lot of extra work for staff but these reviews can also take time to write, and if guidelines are broken it would at least be nice to know the review was rejected and not ignored or forgotten.

As the official website for your products you would think you would list all relevant information on a product. But you don't. It's misleading and then makes me doubt about other purchases if the information is correct or not. How am I supposed to buy the correct product?</p><p><br /></p><p>For an example:</p><p><a href="https://uk.scalextric.com/products/mclaren-f1-gtr-lemans-1995-bba-competition-c4159" rel="external nofollow">https://uk.scalextric.com/products/mclaren-f1-gtr-lemans-1995-bba-competition-c4159</a></p><p>This listing appears fine. Showing all the Tech Specs. DPR, Lights, High Detail etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now take a look at this:</p><p><a href="https://uk.scalextric.com/products/btcc-anniversary-special-edition-ford-sierra-rs500-robb-gravett-c3781se?" rel="external nofollow">https://uk.scalextric.com/products/btcc-anniversary-special-edition-ford-sierra-rs500-robb-gravett-c3781se?</a></p><p>Well, at least it tells me it's DPR. </p><p>No mention if it has working lights or not. You would auto assume that it doesn't if the information is to be trusted. However taking a look at the image and box of the car. You can see the logo's for front lights, xenon effect, rear lights and so on.</p><p>So, is the image correct or the Tech Specs?</p><p><br /></p><p>This made things more frustrating as I looked for a Formula E style car to work with my ARC PRO setup. But can I trust the listing. It appears the 2 on sale are analogue cars. That's a shame.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Something for the webmaster to look at I'm sure. All the correct info should be available for every product. It really doesn't make the company look a bit amateurish. </p><p><br /></p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">26750</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Mar 2021 21:14:37 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Privacy data pop up</title><link>https://staging-community.hornbyhobbies.com/forums/topic/26384-privacy-data-pop-up/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>Hi </p><p>I'm getting the blue privacy/data popup every time I change a page on the forum.

I only have one card set up for payments but for every item ordered keep getting emails from Scalextric informing me that payment cannot be taken with the card associated with the order and to update my card payment details. All I then do is go to my order page, choose the same card and payment is taken straight away! I am concerened that I may miss an email and as a result the order will be cancelled and getting cheesed off having to regularly log back in to my orders and pick the same (and only) card again for the payment that I used when placing the pre order.</p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">18981</guid><pubDate>Mon, 17 Sep 2018 19:45:05 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Unable to purchase a pre-order vehicle.</title><link>https://staging-community.hornbyhobbies.com/forums/topic/25609-unable-to-purchase-a-pre-order-vehicle/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>I am currently tring to purchase the Wynn's #33 AMG pre-order.

As early as the Daoguang and Jiaqing years, drawing a snuff bottle has appeared. It is painted in a transparent bottle with a special small hook paint brush. Initially, the inner wall of the snuff bottle was not scrubbed and the ink and color were not easily attached due to the smooth interior walls. So can only draw some simple graphics and patterns, such as grasshoppers, cabbage, dragon and phoenix, there are some simple landscape figures.</p><p>Later, the artist used iron sand, emery and water to round the inner surface of the snuff bottle. Therefore, the inner wall of the snuff bottle is milky white frosted glass, delicate and not smooth, easy to attach ink, the effect is like rice paper. Inside the snuff bottle appeared some beautiful works later, and then they developed the same kind of art works of poetry and painting.</p><p>After the snuff came to China, the Chinese first put it on the basis of traditional medicine bottles and used various materials and production processes to improve the snuff bottles. They found that this big belly and small mouth snuff bottle more conducive to the storage of snuff during use. Snuff bottles to ensure long-term use of snuff does not degenerate, easy to carry. With traditional Chinese beauty, it is loved by smokers. During the Qing Dynasty in China, from the emperor to the common people, snuff was very popular. The feudal aristocrats, led by the emperor, were extremely extravagant and often collected valuable materials for making snuff bottles designed for them by skilled craftsmen. Some collectors in the world think snuff bottles are the epitome of traditional Chinese craftsmanship.</p><p>Inner Mongolia has most of the snuff bottles of silverware and metal crafts, Liaoning agate is rich, so more agate snuff bottles; Tibet also has more metal snuff bottles.</p><p>Making snuff bottles, gold, copper, silver, porcelain, jade, coral, agate, jade, crystal, amber, wood, bamboo root, wood, lacquer, gourds, nuts and other materials are many.</p><p>Chinese snuff bottles focus on various techniques such as Chinese painting, calligraphy, sculpture, mosaic, jade, porcelain, glassware, lacquerware, enamel, and metal. Snuff bottles show their own unique attitude and draw on the advantages of others.</p><p><a href="http://snuffbottleforsale.com/product/snuff-bottlesbeautiful-landscape-inside-painted-snuff-bottles/" rel="external nofollow">Snuff bottles can be divided into metal</a>, jade, organic compounds, ceramics, glassware, paintings and enamel snuff bottles.</p><p>Snuff is the musk, borneol, menthol and other precious herbs into high-quality finely ground tobacco. Finally, it ages in a sealed wax pellet in a few years or even decades. Smell cigarettes have a certain effect on fatigue. Qing relics, hand-held, easy to carry. As China's unique traditional handicrafts, the art of painting originates from the snuff bottle.
