  Lowell (Admin) Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 1 Registered: 2-2004 |
Welcome! We are pleased to present a new and more versatile forum. To participate you will be required to register an account name, if you wish post on this forum. It is quite simple, a two step process. 1-registration submission and 2-registration validation. Click Register in the upper right to begin the process. Step 1 - You agree to the conditions of participation and register your name. Step 2 - After you submit your registration, you will receive an email with your registration key in a link. Follow that link and you will be registered and be able to post immediately. You may enter any information you wish for your username and your forum name, but you must enter a valid email address; otherwise you will not receive your key. This is to insure that no one is trying to register for you. Which is which? For example Lowell(Admin) Admin is my username. I have to use that and my password to post on the forum. Lowell is my forum name. The forum name can be changed but your username cannot be changed. They may be the same. [NOTE: As there are many long time forumers with established forum names, you will not be able to use those names or any close approximations. The rest of the information is optional. However, you are invited to enter the optional information for my curiosity about those who participate on this forum.] BENEFITS! See those little icons at the upper right of this post. The first on allows you to edit you message within 24 hours after posting it. Correct those spelling goofs. Remove those comments you were sorry you made... You can also delete the post, for those accidental double posts, or print it. | ||

Great stuff, Lowell ! I like the simplified photo-pasting idea - my keyboard is a Chinese one, so some of my keys are different. This should help me a lot. And no excuses for any typos now! Cheers, Graham | ||
acooolcat (acooolcat) 1-Arriviste Username: acooolcat Post Number: 2 Registered: 4-2004 Posted From: 210.200.105.225 |
Lowell, is it possible to see a menu (list) of all the different messages on this forum? How do I do that? Ah-ah... just seen the links at the bottom of this page! TIA | ||
acooolcat (acooolcat) 1-Arriviste Username: acooolcat Post Number: 3 Registered: 4-2004 Posted From: 210.200.105.226 |
OK Lowell, another question: If a topic doesn't get a message within one week, does it die a death? TIA | ||

Graham, we regularly prune the forum. When it hits 300 posts we prune the bottom 150 and archive them. To do otherwise creates a huge topic page with long download time and bandwith hit on the server. What you should do is post the message again, if it has been pruned and you still are looking for a response. | ||

Lowell, Dave, Ralph, anyone???...... .....is there any way to view the topics in the order of the most recent postings from the menu, or do we have to sift through the whole list? For example, have the Irv Biegel thread on the top when it was the last thread posted? doug | ||

I agree with John C..... ....for all the whining, i really like the look of the new forum. And the picture quality is awsome. I like the look and style of the 45 rpm record label, and am looking forward to more scans. And speaking of labels, which one had the dog over top part of the label bending with the curve. I want to say B. T. Puppy (the Tokens label), but i don't think i'm right. doug | ||

Hard to believe this picture is almost a year old now.I have some other nice ones as well,but posting them is WAY to easy now and don't want to get all nutty on the first post.I'll have to dig out my shots from the R&B Pioneer Awards a few years back as well!

Hi! This question may have been asked before; if so, I'm sorry to repeat it - does this system allow to enter the time you last visited the site and read all the postings on every thread after that? For me that was the best part, since in spite of the title postings were widespread and covered also other topics. Best regards Heikki | ||
