usaf70 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted June 18, 2013 Anybody heard if they are gone for good??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Signor Posted June 18, 2013 Share #8 Posted June 18, 2013 Last I heard they were working on keeping the images and search areas , but the forum chats and that stuff was going as they were having some "tiffs" with a few members that messed up that part of the forum, hopefully the other parts will keep on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dag Posted June 18, 2013 Share #9 Posted June 18, 2013 I hope the site isn't down for good. As was said earlier, the webmaster shut down the forums some time back, some of the discussions weren't going well. But hopefully the gallery will stay on-line (or should I say come back on-line). I used it often for AF patch identification. Best source for that actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dag Posted June 18, 2013 Share #10 Posted June 18, 2013 I looked again, maybe it's just the homepage that's down - I can still get to the gallery: http://www.usafpatches.com/gallery-overview/ and links: http://www.usafpatches.com/links/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usaf70 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share #11 Posted June 18, 2013 Problem is once you get to the gallery you then cannot get information on the unit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamski Posted June 18, 2013 Share #12 Posted June 18, 2013 The USAFpatches.com is a valuable resource! I certainly hope that nothing major happened to the site. They may have had a malware attack, but that is pure speculation on my part. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f106dart Posted June 19, 2013 Share #13 Posted June 19, 2013 This might be to simple, but has any one thought about emailing him and and asking him? Instead of all this speculation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorldWarPatches Posted June 20, 2013 Share #16 Posted June 20, 2013 Use this link. It is the search link. once there you can go anywhere on the site. http://www.usafpatches.com/gallery/search.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usaf70 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share #17 Posted June 20, 2013 Again,p roblem is once you get to the gallery and locate the insignia, you then cannot get information on the unit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldWarPatches Posted June 24, 2013 Share #18 Posted June 24, 2013 They have never had unit info, just patch ID. Google or bing the unit, not to many units that don't have info on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter Posted June 24, 2013 Share #19 Posted June 24, 2013 Again,p roblem is once you get to the gallery and locate the insignia, you then cannot get information on the unit... If you're looking for info on a unit, i.e.; lineage, campaign credits, etc., go to the site I provided in #4.As WWPatches stated, it was only an ID site no unit info.

usaf70 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share #20 Posted June 24, 2013 In the past, even after forums were shutdown, once you located the patch you could then select patch for lineage information, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgm Posted June 24, 2013 Share #21 Posted June 24, 2013 You have to login to be able to see the lineage information. I was unable to login last week, but was able to successfully login and see the lineage data a few minutes ago. Hopefully Richard has fixed the issue and things will be working correctly now on USAFPatches.com. Correction: you don't have to login anymore to see the lineage data. Just click on the patch.

usaf70 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share #22 Posted June 25, 2013 Something is still going on with the usafpatches site. Now when going to usafpatches.com/gallery it comes back with "you are banned from using this site" Who does one contact at the site about this issue?
