• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Help for Admins. -> Tell them what needs to be tweaked in one spot vs many thoughout.

Do you like the "new" format vs. the "old" one?

I understand the need for ads, and I'm cool with that, but if I need a holster, class, or whatever, I can go look for one. I don't need to see an ad for that. What I really don't want is to see something flashing and blinking out of the corner of my eye while Im trying to for instance, sort out some law in a post.

Anyhow, this thread isnt to discuss ads, it was for the admin to be able to address issues on the site, so we should let it return to its original purpose.

Okay since I am one of the few on here who can reply to you and keep my cool I will continue I guess...
This is how the internet works in the year 2010 with google ads. These ads (the google adds) are not picked out by John and Mike, or anyone for that matter, its not even random. It goes by your search history of your computer. Therfore if you search Holsters, 1911, 1991, Michigan Gun Laws, Michigan Attorney Genral, SCOTUS, Ammo, cheap deals, ext... You get adds for... Holsters, Guns, Ammo, Cheap Ammo, Cheap Holsters, ext... If you do not want this, goto google, delete your search history, change your options to not remember your history (you will also have to do this for aol, bing, yahoo, search, ask, ext...), than delete your cookies. Than you may just get random @ss crap. Otherwise, email John and/or Mike ask them for their paypal account transfer them $10/month and download the add blocker.
Peace

I'm not calling you out, I was mearly pointing out how suprised I am with myself at my personal ability to keep my cool, maybe I am ready to have kids.
:monkey
:banana::banana::banana:

Nah, you just caused me to reexamine my post, that's all.

I don't think anyone can be completely ready for kids. There will always be something unexpected, but it's so worth it. Imagine leaving your child for a nap, only to walk in fifteen minutes later to find that she got her fingers on the brand new giant bottle of baby powder, and decided it needed to be, um, not in the bottle anymore, and made absolutely no noise in the process. Yeah. Clouds CAN happen in a house.

Anyway, sorry for the off topic post. Back on, boys and girls!

You need to use the IMG codes under the picture you want.

It will look like this + [] at each end IMG]http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k442/rranso/My%20Boom%20Sticks/P1010930.jpg[/IMG

Maybe I'm missing it, but I can't seem to find a place to click on a thread that just takes me to the last "post" I had read. Now I have to remember what page and post I read last in each thread.

+1. I've tried checking "remember me" when I log in, but it didn't help. I wonder if the cookies being cleared upon log-out has something to do with it.
