In the last week or so I did a few things to try to improve the performance of the board; 1: I disabled the function that makes you activate your account. Registering should be enough. Some people were having problems with their activation codes, either due to their e-mail or being unable to properly enter the 25 character code. So, we'll try this out for a while and if there are no problems with it, we'll leave it as is. If there are problems, we'll return to the activation code process. 2: I also disabled the function that makes it possible for "non-members" to post here. In order to post, you have to be registered and logged in. 3: The last change I made enables you to see your post as soon as you post it. No more going back to the beginning of the thread and having to scroll all the way through to see your posting. It should be right there when you hit "Post Reply" or "Post Message". Just a few little tweaks to improve quality and perfomance. Let me know if there are any problems with these thing,ok??

Papa Admin, Much appreciate your taking the time and making the effort to [glow=red,2,300]tweak[/glow] things up for us.
Sometimes dealing with these dang machines can be ... well ...

Ok.....I installed something that will allow you to post your picture in your profile. Numerous members have asked me since the beginning of this board if they could do that and up until now, I had no way to do it. But today it became a possibilty.
SO......IF you want to post a photo of yourself to your profile this is what you have to do:
1) Obviously you have a photo of yourself on your hard drive somewhere. You need to have it hosted at an image hosting site like tinypic.com or imageshack.com.
2) Then.... after logging in here, go to your PROFILE .
Next......Click on "MODIFY PROFILE".
Next....Look for the category that says: Personal Information Then....find the category PROFILE IMAGE
Then.........Enter the URL of the photo that you want to insert. You copy and paste this image from the tinypic.com or the Imageshack.com website.
Then......CLICK ON THE "MODIFY PROFILE" button at the BOTTOM of the page.
YOUR PICTURE SHOULD SHOW UP UNDER YOUR PROFILE.
It's a little different from posting a photo in a posting, in that you now post the URL as opposed to the IMG as you would in posting a pic into a posting.

Just to let you all know..I added a "hit counter" to the board. I was going to wait until New Years Day to start the new year off but I decided to just do it today to get it out of the way. Just a little gauge to see how much activity there is here. I know we have a lot but I just would like to get a better idea. I wish I had known about installing one back when I started the site, but.....better late than never,right??!!!

How do you like the new info center at the bottom of the main page? Is it ok? I guess it'll take some getting used to. Just thought I'd try something new for the new year.

<<<Papa Admin.......Jim, is that like you calling Tommy your daddy? >>>Oh...Jesus Lord....... ...just stop it! Anyway......I added a code that will automatically show member's birthdays in the News Fader at the top of the site. And something that should show who was online in the previous 24 hours. That may take a day or so to fully kick in. If it doesn't, I may remove it. I guess in the whole scheme of things I'd rather be called a Pappa than a boi. Jeez...where and when did I get that Pappa Admin title.....? Cripes!

Hoosier, I call your attendtion to flblue09's post in this thread of September 6, 2006 in which he wrote: <<Wow ... very helpful! Many thanks, Papa Admin!>>
I think the honors for coining the term go to Dan. I figured he meant it as a sign of respect for Pappa Admin's skill in building the sight, his commitment to keep it going and his generosity in sussing out answers to members' technical concerns. I have occassionally used the term since as one of endearment, and as an honorific.
Besides, while Tommy and I are buddies, I think we deffinitely take divergent routes when it comes to the Dominant/submissive side of our community. Whereas in your case dear boy, none of us are quited certain which road you're on (LOL).

I haven't picked up on which route he prefers, but I would guess that like many of us, either route is fine as long as it gets the same result!
