I do not understand, can you make a screen shot of the error message as it appears?

The previous 2 issues have been uploaded and validated with no problems.

Message is as follows :

  ERROR .......
 
  CSFR check failed = Reason for error ! 

 Every time I try to upload No 63 .. Rather than reporting a upload , I get :

 ERROR

 CSFR check failed

 I don't understand either ?

Yes, by the looks of it you forgot to choose the category before uploading.

Has happened to me too. All items must be properly defined.


I saw it up and validated it so you probably found it or did it right regardless.

Hmmmmmmm ...  I have made about 10 attempts with  No 63 ..

 And doing exactly the same thing with the other uploads seemed to work . ( First time )

 61 70 71 , first attempt no issues ..  63 gets rejected ?

 Category - Magazine , since there is no Airborne section .

 17 more issues on my HDD .

Hi "Old",

are you still having problems?

I see you are still uploading, at a slow pace though. I do not know if this is your pace or a result of problems.

In any case, there is now a category for the magazine title as well

Hi "Old",

good to see someone saving Airborne, I have 110 pdf files of my issues that I have personally scanned, perhaps we can collaborate to make this a good collection?

Hi Dino, welcome to the forum.

110 sounds like a lot of issues. Worth organizing them in some kindd of order like Aeromodeller, perhaps on a year basis.

It is important to start with a consistent naming system so that they can be displayed in some proper order.

Once finalized the names can be changed even for the uploaded ones so no worries...

Airborne Magazine was published on a Number system ..
Issue No 01 and so forth ..

 I don't know how it was originally , but these issues cover 2 months ( I think ) as I only have a few .

 Just uploaded No 95  . 

 PS /  Airborne is a Australian Publication that was sold in Australia / New Zealand  .
Well , was as it went under quite some time ago .

If you have issues to share ( Deanl ) , please do !  You would not be stepping on my toes .  I think of all the old modeling magazines as historical documents that should be saved . And the best way to save them is to share them .

  I will try to upload No63 again and see what happens ..

See how it goes.....

Great to hear that.

I could not have helped as the upload works for many people so I would not be able to suggest a solution.

Looking forward for more uploads then

I still need to change the description of the magazine to Australia

Re installed Win 10 and downloaded nice fresh browsers .. = ???? 
 I just don't know .

 I don't want to use W11 and Linux is not ready . ( Not for me - anyways )
So for now I am stuck on 10 .

No, don't go to W11, it is b****y awful.  Have to use it for work.  If you don't want to or can't move to Linux stay with W10.  MS have really ramped up their "It's not your machine it's ours." attitude and they seem to have removed all but the most basic of customisation of the UI to suit yourself.  Utterly dreadful

As for Linux. Assuming you don't use anything that will only run on Windows then these days it's as easy to use as anything from the Great Satan of Seattle.  It does have quirks but they're usually minor and easy to deal with.

If you can find a co-operative teenage spod to install it and do some of the basic setup for you I think you'd be pleasantly surprised.  I'd suggest the Mint distribution.  I've been using it for 5 or 6 years now on a 14 year old laptop without any serious problems.

For web browsing, word processing, photo manipulation, basic video processing etc there are free products that are as good as anything MS offers.

The only complete blockers for toy aeroplane use that I can think of are craft cutters (Cricut etc), Laser cutters and some CAD packages.  Cricut used to provide drivers for Linux, but from their move to subscription no longer, and all (almost all?) the laser cutters I've looked at so far seem to be Windows or Mac only.  Some of these can be persuaded to work from Windows emulators, but, for me, that's too much of a faff.

 Been running MINT virtually for about a decade now ..
I would love to install mint externally ( SSD ) , butt .  Unfortunately mint has instillation issues ( installing to external ssd ) . I love to run a virtual OS .. ( Mint ) .. And I would love to run Mint with W10 run virtually . Tried this about a year ago !  VB or virtual box has a retarded graphics memory limit off 512mb . To run windows reasonably well , takes at least 2GB if not 4GB . Otherwise it's LAG city ! Other issues with mint are Driver issues ( Running a 5060 - Cos it was on special ) . I run Win11 on External SSD's and I use Mint to RIP the trash out of it ( as I do with 10 ) .. The trick is keeping the rubbish off in the long term cos MicroSlop keeps putting it back .
