And to think in 1974....

Marc,

And to think in 1974......I was taking my first computer class in high school, only they called it "data processing". I wrote my first program in basic, using punch cards....oh how times have changed!!!!

Anyway, just to let you know that I have not had any of the issues experience by Eileen or energy.

And give yourself a big pat on the back...I for one think you are doing a great job, and the site looks great.

Have a great weekend (although I think you will spend most of it looking at that box on your desk).

You beat me by a year. In 1975 I took my first 'computer science' course: Fortran. Then Cobol and then PL1. Nothing like punch cards! I remember them well!

Young people!

Man, do I feel old. I took a typewriter course in 1961, Junior year of H.S. The only male. Had to have one with letters on it. Duh! Many, many years passed and along came Atari, Nentendo and Sega. That's it. The last three years were self taught, using the Help Screens provided and advice from co-workers, in the use of Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Visio and others. So when you, Marc, start explaining the server problems, fixes and probabilities, I just nod my head and get on with life. :confused:
But, remember that I can learn it all in a month or less;)

No Way Energy! I don't believe it can be done in less than 40 days.

I was the only male in my typing class in HS as well. I also took shorthand and was the only male there too. Problem is, I was in class about 3 years ahead of you - so makes me feel OLDER.

My first experience with computers was in the late 60s. I worked at Lyons Tea Company in London on the LEO (Lyons Electronic Office) one of the early "clean room computers".

The technology is growing so fast now that I feel I am in the same boat as you as far as need to learn. I feel lost just trying to figure out all the buttons and whistles Marc has added.

Who knows, maybe you and I will meet at a computer class somewhere.

HEE HEE .....no wonder my Cove friends didn't respond to my "just turned 40 message" Let's see - I did punch cards tho - as a Senior in HS, took PL1 in college, but as for typing class in '61 - sorry, someone was typing my birth certificate that year.
Eventually though, - and I type with my fingers on the right keys! Of course mom said I'd need it to be a secretary somewhere.
(Don't mean to insult secretaries, just the stereotype '60's mom's. I wanted to be the first girl in wood/metal shop!)

And I don't have a clue about all the server, cookie, yada , yada stuff either Marc. We're known as users. Enough to get by and be dangerous, and appreciate all the wizards out there taking the time to figure this out!

Saturday AM

Laura M. I knew you were just a baby. When you were about a year old, I was beginning my four year stint in the US Navy (Air Group).

Randy, A jarhead? Where did you get all the brains from? :)
We had a few of those tethered to the brig on the carriers I frequented. While we were relaxing in the 100+ Deg weather on the flight deck on weekends, these Semper Phi? guys were jogging in full combat gear in the Sun. Like, the whole squadron. I always managed to keep clear of their quarters for reasons of personal safety.

Marc, The version of MS Internet Explorer that I'm using here at home is 5.00.2314.10031C. I know it's different from the version in work and E. Wall's. (That is, the digits following the 5.0) No "No Thread Specified" message or need to use the backbutton to submit reply from here. It works like it's supposed to. I think you are getting close. As I told you, no problem for me. What's it take, 3 more seconds to post for those with versions that have this glitch? You do not lose your post. The majority do not have this problem. Onward and upward! Take today off without pay and call me in the morning;)

Avatar?

Is there one for a mean old man? Where might they be? Maybe a mischievous monkey?

Still checking out the signature options

Marc, If somebody sits down and explores the options you have now provided, the site is really user friendly. At work, someone is always walking in and interrupting or curious about the colors or the smilies, so I discontinue my experimenting. I spent about about an hour today, off and on, and now I'm an expert.;)

I think it's a lot more user friendly, but there is a learning curve. I have wanted badly to get this software up because I really believe that, once you get used to the features, this software is much more user friendly than the old UltimateBB software. It's more complex, but once you're used to it using it really is easier. Of course, that's my opinion. On the other hand, it has been, and will continue to be, much more of a maintenance issue for me. Heck - I still have to update a lot of the site pages because of it and I haven't really even finished 'configuring' the board software - I'm still learning how the software works as well...

One of the main features I personally like is that I can now look at a thread and see how many times it has been read. It gives me an idea of how many people really come and read but don't 'register' or post.

I'm glad you're finding it useful and user friendly.

I haven't changed anything that would affect that issue. At this point, I think it's probably an issue of firewalls you folks have where you work or computer specific setup. As you probably know, these are issues I cannot solve. Now, if 10 people or such were complaining - then I'd believe it may be software related. Of course, my first first 'test' is to try to reproduce the failure. If I can't reproduce it on either my Mac or my PeeCee with Explorer and Netscape, then my first belief is it's a network (like a company firewall) or specific computer issue. Some folks don't realize how many factors are at play when one logs onto the internet.
