You know something Blu Dev?? I just noticed something very interesting.
I opened that spam email and noticed that Pappy's post is in the email...Everything he wrote on the forum during that particular post I can read without going to the forum and signing on...
I went back a month or so and opened some old emails from the forum and it used to just tell who'd posted and where...
Didn't used to let you read the actual posting in the email....

| BluDev, Crackah reminded me to tell you that all last week (when I couldn't use my regular browser, which is Safari) I couldn't quote other posters without adding my post to theirs... You know, my post would just show up as part of theirs.... That was using Firefox as my browser....Of course, now everything is going fine for me....♥♥♥

| Well, it doesn't look as though I am getting e-mails on a regular basis still..... Safari is my browser and I use the Apple Mail program, Version 2.0.7.

Windows XP
Internet Explorer V6.0
Email.........go thru RR, uses Outlook express, mine never seemed to stop.
As you know, I am frequently logging on from far flung locations, I avoid going thru the firewall at work, just to remove one more failure mode.
Ditto Cracker on 2, 3, 4 above. The one I'll add is I've had cases when I've been trying to post, get it all typed out, hit the "send", and nothing happens, just sits there. I'll copy the whole mess to avoid having to re-type, go back to a topic, then have to post again. Intermittent Problem.
The overall speed & performance is great tonight............back to normal.

Checked my mail AND spam folder tonight.... Nothing.
Must be another case of AOL's incompatibility with others. They just REFUSE to play nice!! Everyone else seems to be getting email just fine.

Howdy BluDev! Just thought I'd drop in to mention that the world (forum) has spun off it's axis and now all of the forums are backward and upside down... for instance, page 279 of MAAN is now page 1 and the latest post is now at the top of the page. 
You're probably aware of it, but just wanted to make sure you knew....

I posted this on the web site forum earlier, without realizing I was posting in the wrong place!!!! :
Well, it looks as though the forums have changed so that now what was at the end is now at the beginning..... I guess it's still in the changing phase because when you click on the link it takes you to the end still. If you click on the name of the forum, though, it takes you to where you need to be.... Also, the e-mail you get telling you there's been a new posting also takes you to the older postings, not to where the new one is..... ♥♥♥

Alright - everybody just settle down.  If your head is spinning and you are feeling nauseus back away from the screen.
The Forum is in the process of getting a facelift so if your world is upside down it's only temporary.
Firecracker is trying to present your posts from newest to oldest. That was accomplished but it seems that repositioning when you submit a post or link from a notification email still takes you to the last page.
Hang in there we'll get it right soon enough.

Ok... breathing... taking deep breaths....
I will try to hang on until things are right with the world again!
BTW....I'm really missing that link up there that is usually between "Welcome to Town Talk" and "Forum Policies and Procedures" too! I think it said "Welcome to our Online Forum" or something...
(Not trying to be bossy or anything....Just making a note in case you FORGOT to put it back!  )

Cracker, keep taking those deep breaths. This is kind of like moving all of your personal belongings, furniture, appliances, etc. ... a few things get temporarily lost, but I promise, we'll get them back ... maybe not immeditely, but soon.

I read several forums (or I call them "message boards") across the world wide web and on all of them, while threads are presented in order of newest to oldest, messages within the thread are presented oldest to newest.
Now I am admittedly a backwards reader so I can adjust to the new format eventually but to me, it makes much more sense to have messages within a thread read from oldest to newest. For example, if you click on a thread that you haven't read in a while (or maybe, have never read), you have to scroll backward to read what you have missed.
I also read some "blogs" out across the WWW and those do usually present postings in order of newest to oldest but blogs are (usually) only posted to by one person. A blog is like reading someone's diary or journal - in which case, you probably would flip to the most recent entry first!
The forum, in my humble opinion, is NOT a blog but a "running conversation". In order to participate in the conversation, you need to know what's been said and logically (to me at least!) the conversation needs to "read" from oldest comment to newest comment.
DISCLAIMER: This is just my very humble opinion and knowledge I have from my travels out into the great world wide web! If the NWO staff wants to change it, I'll adjust (somehow:-)
