Billy, I cannot help you. I wish I could. You probably know more about this site than I do. Mark, who used to be Andy is a programmer, and the few times I have spoken with him, he has been pretty helpful. I think he is a pretty decent person but do not tell him I said that. I would hate to lose my reputation.

hi billyd without a specific question i dont no what you need help with so how bout the the first thing i do is when i sign on i go to the black bar at the top and click on the first thing on the left (HOME) that takes you to the main list it starts with general forum, if you have a question or just want to see what everybody is talking about thats the first place to stop ,, when your done there just go back to the black bar at the top again and click home again and pic another forum if you want to see what new pics are here click on member photos and so on ,, and when your done there click home again and pic another page if you ever feel lost just click the home button in the black bar and it brings you back to the starting page with the list of forums---i hope this helps alittle seeya ---john

I set my 'puter on favourites to the index page. I have also set my name, and password on that page. Another thing you can do is to check the first box below the white space you write in. When the response comes, you can either write through it, or whatever and then hit general to scan the site. Keep trying, Sands knows his stuff and he can really help. I have just given all I know.

there is a voting poll that you can put up and get everyone to vote on something if you go to general forum you will see a thread that says (vote for krazycab) that will give you an idea how it works and theres also one next to it that says new thread i think,, thats how you can start a new post and ask a question if you want, or if you have a picture you want to share you can do that also in the members pictures section
and the vote thingy right now is a contest,, KD is putting up a cab she made for a contest, first we get to enter a name that we think fits the stone and then the vote thing gos up and we all vote on the best name thats on the list --the one we think fits the stone the best and who ever put in the winning name gets to keep the cabochon,, its too late to enter a name,, but you can go there and vote for the one you like the best and next time we have a contest you can enter a name for it maybe you will win it

thats a tough one --if you click on your own name your profile page will come up and if you go to the bottom of that page you can bring up your last ten posts you made --thats the only way i can think of

Billy, if you check the first of the lower two check boxes, Notify of replies, then the response comes to you. At least that is what I do.

They call me Mellow Yellow, I fell into Atlantis came out with a tinfoil hat and am ready to beat the electricals. Andy/Mark/Mandy/Phred is recovering from his coming out and being discovered. We are lead by a closet electrical! Eric Graeme has grey hair! Once upon a dream life made sense.

I know I'm going on a search for Iron&wine. sounds like my kind of fun. billy, I know you said before, but I'm assuming youre irish. Using a brough in the interpretation is the only way I can understand you, but it works! "Thinking of nothing stuff" sounds like perfect meditation music to me. cookie
