I'm not saying I completely hate the new design of th eforums at OTF, but I do think they need a little time to get their house in order. This forum is a stop-gap until that gets sorted out. Housekeeping is simple: - Nothing is censored here, except one word. Bonus points if you guess what it is.
- Your posts have a 60,000 character limit. This service is free, so they put some stuff on to help control bandwidth.
- I haven't tried posting images or attachments. First person to figure it out should let the rest of us know how it works.
- I know more about the fuzz in my navel than I do about computers. Don't ask me why a Mac loads the page with a bitrate of 92. I won't know what you're talking about and will try to BS my way out of the question.
- Play nice. Small men with power tend to weild it inappropriately. I am a small man. This is my first time with power, and I can't wait for someone to smite.
If I missed anything add it in. We are only as good as we make ourselves.

I think the title 'Housekeeping' is scaring the gardeners away from this topic.

I think people are probably reading it - we're just not putting it into action, as usual.

I think they need more than just a "little time" to fix it, especially since they don't answer everyones questions. If one gets the bonus points does one also get smitten more mightily than otherwise?

If I missed anything add it in. We are only as good as we make ourselves. Well, I truly do hate the new design. It's the worst board I've ever encountered. Which is so sad, since the previous one was the best I'd ever used. The administrators over there keep saying they had to change, but they never really say why. They just use weasel words, such as "modern" and trying to placate the members by thanking them for giving it a try. I didn't need to give it a try after the first half hour. I doubt that here are any cahnges will make it acceptable to me, except going back to that lovely (though with just a few quirks) design. I once participated in a chatroom that was extremely well-used and great fun. The operation was pretty clunky and the members kept asking the admins. to fix some of the clunkiness. Instead, they changed the entire platform, which didn't work for most of our computers and, in effect, the chatroom was killed deader than the proverbial. I hope this doesn't happen with Taunton, but I suspect it will.

Well, that makes me really wonder what the secret word is. Shall we start guessing? Unless it's "Kimm," I can't imagine someone posting the word I was thinking.
