We were working on database backups -

Sorry about loosing the last few days of postings! We had a data base error while we were getting the back up procedures in place.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience and we are getting this fixed so we do not loose any more threads.....

Whew! Big sigh of relief!
Thought my computer hated me all of a sudden!

Hello, I'm back.
Say, the past three days, when I've tried to long on I was obliged to try two and three times; by the time the system decided to recognize me, when I clicked on the "View New Posts" link, it said nothing matched my search criteria.
Are we still having difficulties?

Well, the forum software sometimes does funny things. I noticed that when I go to the main page of the forum, there are * in front of the items that have new posts on them. If you leave for some reason, and go back, it was since the last time you logged into the forum, so if you didnt read the new posts, it clears them anyway. We are looking at another type of forum software that I think will work better, but we have had other pressing matters in the meantime to tend to. We are still planning on upgrading, but dont know when that will happen yet. Hope this helps.

Worked fine tonight.
In fairness -- and I should have said this on the previous post -- most of the time it works fine.
I think I'm so used to it working right that this VERY RARE bobble took me so by surprise!
You're doing a fine job, fellas, and I do appreciate your continuing to upgrade the site.
