Sorry.....It's just that with the PP booting us and all......even though I knew it was coming.....I'm just really reactionary. I'm trying to hold on to all that was if that makes any sense?
Besides I will miss posting with Green at X-mas and automatically being festive!

Our own hometown paper has left us in the dust,and I still won't even think of the Strib!

So, is the deal that THX is the 'sysop' and there can/will be various discussions/forums/boards under one folder?

Yup. Anyone can own a folder like THX's if they want. Also, THX can give whoever he wants sysop control over his(?) space.

We are mostly Medallion Hunters

We're addicts! We have Medallionism...AKA...Medallion Fever

So, if THX is the sysop, and I own THX, what does that make me?

How do we make donations?

PayPal if you can. I'm working on other options. You could mail it too, if you prefer...we have one guy who's doing that.

Lance,
We participate in a Winter Carnival activity called The Medallion Hunt. The Pioneer Press (our hometown paper) hosts it every year.They hide a medallion(coin) in a park in St.Paul,MN every year and give us clues on how to find it.
You will likely see more than Medallion hunters coming in as there were political boards at the Pioneer Press site also.

Well, if you can do anything to influence them to do so, please do. the more the merrier; there's plenty of room here (just look at the Full Site Map if you doubt that). :)

I'll have to play around with this some more to get the hang of it.

Can anyone create a thread in this folder or only me?

If it's the latter, anyone that wants a new thread, let me know and I'll set it up.

Thanks again, Lance.

Umm...add two hours in your head? Sorry, there's no way to change that. I have to pick one time zone setting for the site, and as far as I know, users can't set their own. That's a good feature request though...I'll pass it on to the core software developers.

This is a version of WebX, right?

Right.

There was some discussion that WebX is out of business, or no tech support available??

I heard rumors a long time ago, but they have been discounted. Web Crossing, Inc. is doing fine as for as I know. I was at their support forum very early this morning.

Do you plan on this forum maintaining this particular style for awhile?

Yup. I'm in the midst of doing a facelift, but the core software is here to stay.

Yeah, I'm an independent wise-ass. I don't affiliate with any specific crew of jokers. ;)

I also forgot...you need to switch the "P" for "C" in your head too. With enough practice, you can just train your brain to see it as 12:51 pm CST instead of 10:51 am PST. ;)

Thanks Lance for the Forum and THX for the setup. It looks like this might be the place for us orphans to hang out.

Now that I've created about 20 new accounts in other rooms.

thanks for the thanks. You can use all those other accounts to tell people to come here. :)

I set up a short cut in my favorites and when used it only takes me back to the time that the short cut was created. How do I make it so it loads the most recent page?

I'll send the links out to the other sites when I figure this out

THX - Looks like your busy with creating our old home, room by room. Good job!

see the number after the slash in this end-of-URL?:

zaNC6it6^317@.efa854d/143

your bookmark probably has a number like that on the end of it. It's a post number tag. Ditch the /143 (for this example) and you will have the link you want.

Alternatively, many people bookmark the end page when they check subscriptions. that page will then check your subs automatically when you come back to it.

Hello!

Sorry if anyone felt that they weren't welcome on the world crossing site. I was being careful not to post the link directly to that site in case Mr. News had access to Allison's site as I have yet to figure out who that is. I figured you'd find the Cooler Crew site there...and emailed Ian with the direct link as I don't have most of your email addresses and figured he'd get it to you Marley.

Unfortunately, I suspect the email got delayed somewhat as I got a response from Ian during the wee hours.

This looks like a nice place!
