  1. There is a spam service called CleanTalk associated with the software that this site runs on, and if you are seeing a blacklisting tag when you send an email, it is because you are sendng an email through a VPN that has been blacklisted due to issues with various users across the internet. These can often originate from Amsterdam, Russia, China, among other places. My suggestion is to use a differently located PC or phone to send the message. This is not something I can help you troubleshoot, as it has to do with the network that you are personally using wherever you are, and is a built-in security feature of the site to attempt to reduce fraud. As far as the guidelines, they are located on every page on this site in the white ribbon towards the top of the screen. The ribbon is located under the "Sturmgewehr" banner in the white colored ribbon that is under the blue colored ribbon. Please click on "Guidelines" to review them Thanks, David
  2. Tim, Be careful of the responses you receive, since you have posted your email and phone number online. Fully vet any request for funds, and DO NOT wire money. Talk to the seller. David
  3. I reset the invoice with today's date, and you are good to renew now. You should receive an email from the site with instructions, or you can also take care of it from your account login here. Just let me know if you need anything else. David
  4. Posting in the market boards requires a rank of Sergeant or above. Ron, I believe you have two accounts. The other one is a rank of Lieutenant, and is "Ron in PA" rather than "RONINPA." David
  5. You can create more storage by deleting old PM's. I have reset your expired invoice with today's date, and you should receive an email from the site, and are clear to renew. Just let me know if you need anything else. Sorry for the delayed response. David
  6. Here's an update on Machinegunboards.com, which is one of our sister sites. We expect that it will be down additional days. If it is not back up by end of day tomorrow, Friday, 10/21/22, it will be down through the weekend. It is currently in a queue to be worked by the advanced team at the forum software company. We attempted to do a similar upgrade the evening of 10/18/22 as we did here on Sturm, but ran into some issues. We fully expect to have the site back up, it's just a question of the downtime duration. For Machinegunboards.com members, we apologize for the downtime, and please bear with us. We will be able to continue talking about Thompsons and other great firearms soon. Sincerely, David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com
  7. Interesting. I had not noticed that. Thanks for noting it. I will add it to our list to see if it can be changed. On the Machinegunboards software update, we have hit some snags, and are having to work with the software company to resolve. I don't have an ETA for return to service yet. David
  8. The total downtime was only 2 hours, so it went well for such a major change behind the scenes. Andy deserves all the credit. Hopefully you like some of the new features. One feature that is really nice is that if you perform a search, the search will return thumbnail photos from posts in the forum that match your search term. There are many updates behind the scenes, but the forum looks almost exactly the same as before. Some of the previous features that did not persist to the new version are as follows: The custom modification to mark things sold - We are going to explore another custom development to determine if it can be re-enabled The total number of members statistic at the bottom of the main page was also a custom mod that did not persist We are currently still working on the upgrade to our sister site, Machinegunboards.com, which has been down since 10pm last night, 10/18/22. Thanks for your patience! David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com

  10. Upgrade is complete. There may be some fine tuning that is still needed, but the upgrade proved successful. David
  11. Update: We expect the downtime to begin around 10pm tonight, Tuesday, 10/18/22. David
  12. Sturmgewehr.com Members, We are planning a forum software upgrade this week, and there is one part of the upgrade that will produce an unknown amount of downtime. I expect that it will be at least a few hours, but it could be longer. We will bring everything back up as quickly as possible. Once the upgrade is finished, you may see some fluid changes as we get everything fine tuned. I anticipate that the board will have a different, but similar look. Thank you for your patience while we perform the upgrade! David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com
  13. We will perform an upgrade late in October that will remove the error message. The error does not present any issues beyond the writing at the top of the page. David
  14. I have a rarely seen item for sale that is a British Bren LMG carrying Case, which was made for the possible invasion of Norway after it was occupied by the Germans. Cases like this were also made for the Thompson SMG. They were made by the Northern Proofing Co. in Huddersfield, and this one is dated 1944, and features the British Broad Arrow marking. It's in unissued condition, and has a darker spot on the flap where it was exposed to dirt, but otherwise, it is in very good condition, and is $150, plus USPS Priority Mail shipping to your location. I've never seen another one of these for sale anywhere, and I received it from a collector friend who lives in England. I accept PayPal, and checks or money orders, with appropriate consideration. Ohio residents must add your local sales tax. Thanks! David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com
  15. Robert Segel was a friend of mine, and "Gorgon" is also a friend. Although this post is made without prices, I'm allowing it to stay up. Please contact Gorgon if you have any interest. Robert participated in many NRA displays with myself and others of The American Thompson Association, and he always liked the guys who made the miniature arms, and who often displayed alongside us at NRA. I know that he had some miniature items commissioned, and was also awarded NRA silver awards for some of his miniature arms. Robert is missed, and we were just talking about how much he is missed among several of us at an OGCA meeting yesterday. David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com
  16. Sounds like a good idea, though I have not seen it as an available feature. I took a look at 1919A4, and they run on a different forum software. We plan to upgrade the forum software here to a newer version in the next few months. David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com
  17. I have two M3 Greasegun magazines that were modified for a Stemple .45 caliber SMG that I am offering for sale for $60 ($30 each) + Priority Mail shipping. Postage will be will be for 3lbs. shipped from the Cincinnati area. Just PM me, or contact me at my email below if interested. Thanks! David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com
  18. I do not see them as a member here. There was an Alpha01 (One less zero) that was recognized as a scam account, and deactivated a while back. To which MP40 board do you refer? David
  19. Looks like there has been sufficient discussion of this item for sale. Let's let it go its course now as far as any sale opportunity, and if discussion needs to continue, let's take it to the discussion board. Thanks, David
  20. Thank you for the report. Their account has been deactivated. David
  21. I joined this evening, and started two threads, and replied to another one. Good luck with the new forum! Hopefully its personality will prove different than the other one devoted to HK's... David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com
