    Dear all,
    This thread makes me think of Mark Twain who once had to clarify: "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated".

    Referring to another thread in Help & Support from yesterday... While, due to various reasons, the editor & admin roles have been keeping a very low profile during 2020 (regrettably including appearances on this forum - in particular, I decided to park the @editor activity, while maintaining admin responsibility) , it is not true that the iModeler site isn't maintained or has been abandoned.

    For various reasons, there were no new features added to iModeler during 2020, but the existing ones were working rather well. The necessary effort has been made to ensure that the system is being kept operational, the security your data and the site maintained, site performance & uptime kept within service limits.

    We have also discovered that some functions got broken in after a major software update triggered last month. We plan to conduct a technical review of the site shortly to get these errors fixed. I would be grateful for everyone's input on anything additional that's not working today.

    Happy Modelling!
    M

    @techsupport this is the greatest news I could have wished for. I have some further questions for you regarding the site in case you have time please send me a PM.

    For the remainder and in case not mentioned already, it seems impossible now to add pictures to PM's sent from the site. Best, Michel.

    @techsupport SOOO glad to hear! FYI, I'd willingly pitch in annually ($$) to help keep the site humming along, if that ever becomes an issue. I suspect many of us would!

    Thanks a lot for clarifying: “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated”.

    One issue that may find a way to your list may be the fact that we get thrown out from the page when we post something where we mention someone with a @ - I'm gonna try to make one here and check if it still exists @techsupport - thank you for being a proper Duck! (calm on the surface, paddling like. . .)
