    Save the file to your own hard disk (in your browser, use menu item File/Save as...) in case you want to refer to it more than once. That will save having to download it again. It's 1MB large, so it will take some time over a slow link.

    Sure hope you do better than photo.net...I can't post an answer there even though I'm registered and know my password...now I just read the posts and don't even try any more! I e-mailed them several times about the problem and to double-check my registration and password...I had the name and password right, but still couldn't post an answer...they have been of no help.

    Hopefully, Vick, we will have everything figured out.. Worst case would be to just give up on the old account and make yourself a new one. The moderators can merge accounts if you can't use the new one for some reason, but we'd rather try helping you use the existing one, if possible.

    Does this mean there will be an Amnesty?

    John - we're considering it. Or, perhaps a "guest poster" program. Those who violate the "law" will still be subject to "deportation," however. ;-)

    Gosh, a guy looses his temper once and pays forever. I do understand. I've no problem with it, Ralph.

    Very Best,
    John

    Tom,

    I couldn't find my name at all. I recently subscribed via Paypal.

    Seems too complicated to me. This forum, the way it works and reads is simply perfect. Why do we need to Change?? If I am not automatically signed up to the new forum I probably wont be here.

    I just bought a new phone (plug in the wall type). It has an operators guide 1/4" thick in one language and requires set up, programing and registration. needless to say it goes back to the store tomorrow. Nothing seems to be broken so why are we changing everything??

    Kreig - there are a number of user and administrative features that we need to keep the forum going. Modifying the current software to accomplish those goals wasn't feasible, so we opted for a commercially supported package. Even if we had been able to modify our current software, the same sort of conversion process would have be required.

    Our hope is that the conversion will go smoothly for most folks, and Tom has gone to a lot of effort to make that happen.
