Apparently the forum is now wide open for spammers.

Just typed out a long PM to someone...went to preview it and was unable to do so. Instead, I got the following message:
You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never

Such treatment, after all these years as a forum member!!! No reason given, just banned (apparently) forever.

No noticed changes here either - except that it's much faster. Thanks for that. New owner, new furniture.

About 10X faster by my measures. Still trying to work out a few kinks from the software upgrade. Going from 2005 to 2011 software in one swoop is not fun nor painless.

Thank you everyone for your patience and continued support.

Thumbs up

I am sure it will take some time for the "bugs" to get worked out of the new software platform. You patience is appreciated, as this is never easy.

Oh, and please, no references here to Facebook in the same sentence as our beloved Forum. That would be hurtful to us old timers, who eschew something so new as FB!

Finally the forum pops right open like all my other web pages, instead of filling in in 1/3 increments on the screen! I never complained about it because I figured it was your site and that's the way it was. But it's sure better now!

Keep up the good work!!
