Hello New Forum,
Seems more complicated, but I said that about the last one. Luddites forever! I am sure I will get used to it and I do understand the reasons for the change. When will the old forum be turned off?

I will likely leave the current forum running to aid in redirects (so people will readily locate the new forum) for quite some time but it may be in an archived or locked state - meaning it may be viewable for a time, but not 'active'. Although the hardware is much better since the last rebuild, the software portion is nearing it's end. The solution Judith and I have devised will give the forum new life via this commercial alternative. (It's a tremendous interface now - for a remote server anyway)

Rog ..

Not that I have that many, but how do we xfer our existing post counts over to the new forum?

Seems a bit of an extreme strategy to give Cannon the swerve...

When's this going live as it were?

Evening mate. Just clicked on that address and put in my username and password but nothing happened.

Thanks-just been in there!

Hi all

For those people who have opted for a free SteveGleiber.com email account,
I have created a web mail interface with an easy to remember address : mail.stevegleiber.com

new site seems a lot more user friendly.. so no complaints!

oh only one.. why does kolo have to leave??

Really like this... will have fun trying all the new stuff out!

A few questions I already have:

1) How do you reply to posts? I cant seem to find a reply button. (Edit: Just seen quote button, seems to have replaced the old reply??)

2) How do you set up so that every time you come back to the forum you start from the post you were last at?

3) How can you access the main forum page once you are inside? Eg: I was uploading my new avatar and I couldn't work out my way back onto the page

Congratulations Roger and the team, for this super human effort to create
the second site, in less than 3 years, one is better than the other!
I am very grateful and want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for
your dedication and hard work!
The site looks and feels good!
I hope many will use the internal email facility, that is such a terrific idea
Roger!
May it continue to bring a lot of pleasure to all the forumites old and new
in the future.
Good luck and enjoy!
Judith

When I click on refresh I am now being asked to retry (resend) the info before I get to the refreshed page. This was not happening yesterday. What have I done wrong?

Now it has stopped asking me to do the above????????

Good luck and enjoy!
Judith

Was Cannon's invite 'lost' in cyberspace?

Hey Wirral, you in here again ? 8-)

Interesting new screen that appears between composing and posting a message if another message has been posted while you were writing your post (if this makes sense)!

how long until we are all fully migrated onto here? One browser open was enough hassle...

If people want, they can change their 'signup' email address to their GleiberMail address (if they have one) so everything can be done from within here. That way, board messages, emails, postings, subscriptions can all be done from this forum without having to use different mail programs, etc. A 'one stop shop' so to speak .. If you change Isp's or your regular email address, you will still get your email from your Gleiber account as it will be unaffected. Rog ..

Judith Thanx For those who have opted for a GleiberMail email account, when you go into the preferred mail program called "Horde", you can do many things: - Change the backfround colours - Set up news feeds of many news sites - Have it check your other pop email accounts and load them all into this one email account - this is very cool - it's called fetch mail and you can then have all your mail accounts checked (including your news feeds for the latest news) all within one web page. - You can import your address books from many different mail account types - There is a calendar, Note taker, Task Scheduler, News feed, Spam filter, more. - There is loads of email space for everyone also. - This forum can also send email much like sending a posting - you can even send yourself a copy of your messages as well to another email account. Emails sent from with the forum software however can only be sent to other members who have chosen to receive emails from other members. Note: It is never a good idea to have all your email and address books in one place and not have any backups in place. Therefore, never entrust any online mail system, (Hotmail, yahoo mail, Gleibermail, Gmail, etc) with all your important emails, data, addresses, attachments, etc. Hard drives crash, data can be accidentally deleted, domains can be removed, companies can make changes, etc, etc .. This is merely a convenience for those that wish to check all your mail accounts using the one email link at the top of this page. So, it's cool, but it may not be bulletproof as with all mail systems. Rog ..

Now it has stopped asking me to do the above???????? It will only ask you the 'post data' question if you click back - not if you go forward or click another item / link on the page. It's ok to resend post data as it will merely redraw the previous page using the same details. Refreshing the page within a 'posting form' may also ask you the post data question- this is normal - refreshing standard forum pages won't do that.

Umm - yes - Horde in 'Gleibermail' is very cool. I have mine monitoring around 5 news feeds, plus it has all my email addresses in it now and gets all my emails from all my accounts. I have skinned it so it looks nice too. A one stop shop now with a single click to access everything .. And no adverts in it either. I like .. Fetch mail is very sexy ..
