The Armour Archive

In general, the patterns on the Archive are shown on one (or more) 8.5x11" pages (i.e. a standard US sheet of paper). However ... just as you couldn't take a single pattern for a T-shirt and use it for all people, you can't use a single pattern for a spaulder (in your case) and have it fit everyone'...

Moving this, since it's not a buy/sell "want."

Listen, I see WCA all over FB now. Did he clear the backlog ? This still remains true: -- SirBrand last updated this thread in Oct of 2014 -- SirBrand last visited the Archive Forums (logged in) at that same time. -- This means that for a year and a half just under nine years, there has been no rep...

Woo Hoo! The situation should be fixed!!!! (I hope) People should now get activation emails properly! As a related side-effect, you should now start seeing emails if you ask for them as a way to stay updated with people replying to threads, and people sending you private messages, and anything else ...

Attached files take up Archive server space.

I uploaded it to Google Photos and did what you did. Did it work? Also, if I delete the photos from my google photos, will it make them break on the forum? As Mac already said... yes, that worked. And yes, anything you link to that is not on the Archive will disappear/break if you remove them from ...

It should be noted that I told Will that posting here would be okay, as far as the Archive goes. Rank hath its privileges, and I am really rank.

So, somewhere around a decade ago, having a forum for people to post patterns in was suggested. This is the result. It is an experiment (and maybe about a decade late... we'll see how/if it works). :? Right now, this post is an announcement of the rules for the forum. These rules are subject to disc...

A real 'bot would never admit it. No need for a conversation.

If you want to create an account on the Archive -- or if you recently have, and are waiting for an activation-link email... Outgoing email from the Archive is often blocked by mail servers. I think it's because the email server says its name is the Archive, but the reverse IP-to-name lookup maps bac...

So (not that I have any plans on having the Archive disappear)... what can be done here to identify and preserve information?

"That's the way I've always done it" is a valid reason.

For what it's worth, the forum software looks at activity when deciding whether you're online. So if you simply leave (or stop clicking on buttons in the Archive pages), you will be listed as offline after about five minutes.

.... or at least I thought I had it sorted out. I get a legible display when I'm logged in, but when I'm logged out I still get that illegible white on black thing. Is there any way to make it look normal and legible when I'm not logged in? If I can't read the front page, I can't tell whether it's ...

Okay... for now, I've reactivated the "base" style of ProSilver -- though I didn't make it the default.
If you're not comfortable with the archiveLight, or acidTech (archiveDark) styles, you can go back to ProSilver, at least for now.

We need to work harder on this, with an archive scour, copy, paste. There are roughly 30,000 threads in this forum. Almost 900 pages of 35 threads each. -- Many are (nearly) worthless. -- Many are not. -- A relative few are precious gems. I can fairly easily write something that extracts and create...

Important Threads:

Just like the subject says... I noticed that Mac's "Dusting Off The Cobwebs" (St Florian project) has slipped off the front page. (edit... no it hadn't, I was just blind. The point remains though) :) I do not want to continually bump up or "stickify" all the "important" threads, because doing so wou...

The PDF has been added as an attachment to the first post in the thread.

I wish I knew why Z encountered problems... my guess is that something got cached/saved in cookies for her.

Just as a quick note, Z and I are working on getting the PDF uploaded as an attachment. I allowed for larger files, but she's still getting an error (and its complaining about a size smaller than what the original limit was, I believe). Anyway, it will get uploaded. Also wondering how these threads ...

Thank you!

A classier but more expensive solution to cobbling together some poles would be to use a Zip-Wall system

Any ideas on how to import a table into these posts, and have it look OK? Scanning the old threads is a trip down memory lane, and is producing interesting data. While tables could be supported, they can cause huge problems with the display of pages if you don't get it right, so we don't. You could...

This review is late, and it's all my fault. :( See http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=184824 (Sorry... No additional pics from me, at least, not yet. Hal has one in the thread linked to above.) Halberds took on the commission. It (his attempts) did not all go smoothly, and he...

Agreed.

SirBrand has not logged into the Archive since Oct-2014.

Hindu or Buddhist??

Um.... Head size.

If you tell me what measurements are needed I can get them to you.

(Hopefully needless to say, it needs to be put-on-able.)

This is probably the wrong community for that-try asking at the Replica Prop Forum-therpf.org Ha! I'll ask where I want, and where I want is the Archive dammitall! :) If you can't get it on the Archive, you don't really need it! P.S. Wasn't intending this as a biting response, and hope it isn't tak...

Isn't really a "helm" at all, but that's the closest analogy I can come up with. It's actually the head of a robot, but (as a csostume rather than a prop) would need to be wearable... Like a helmet. Does not need to be SCA legal (and should not be). Does not need to be metal (and maybe should not be...

I still play (but we only get together about once every month or two), but it's far more a social gathering than a hardcore gamer get together. But we moved to 3.5 a fair time ago, and I have no nostalgic feelings for my AD&D or 2E stuff. (Then again, it's not like I have lots of stuff... didn't eve...

I think I need to gather up all my older D&D stuff and see if ppl are interested.

Kind of moot, but this was not off-topic.

The Classified/WantAds forum is not just for armour and armour-related items.

Amanda... Are you perhaps the person who made my personal banner in ... 2010 or thereabouts? I'm on vacation at the moment (and for another glorious week!!!) but will get in touch with you ASAP after I return. Randy... No, I am not taking donations for this. The Capn and Longboat Company have gracio...

I suppose.

You want correct terminology???
Why don't you just stick to sites that purport to deal with history and... Um... Never mind!
