I apologize to anyone who lost posts, and it’s quite likely some did. It looked to me as though I needed to reboot when I did or have the thing lock up entirely. Which would have been worse. Hopefully things will pick up a bit now.
Again, sorry to anyone whose words of wisdom were lost.
Thanks so much Pogge-I admit I was a little worried when I couldn’t get the Wiki especially in light of recent news, but I figuered it was just jammed.
I lost stuff, but nothing important. Just futile attempts at IQ humor.
Thanks for keeping things going and all your hard thankless work. I still say you need to get some sleep sometime- you are always here. Do you have another life outside of FW? I don’t want to think about what would happen to FW if you got the flu.

I don’t think pogge can catch the flu…he never leaves his computer room! ;-) And the other Mods won’t let anyone in to distract him from his work…
Thank you Pogge!
Please note we are moving ahead full stem on an alternate Forum platform and site. By next week, i hope to announce a beta version, where you can go and register to keep your current sign-on name.
There’s only so much we can do with this platform, alas.
It;ll look more like a blog than a bulletin board, and will have some great features, such as the ability to find individual comments, individual posters’ comments (all), sorted threads by topic, and more.
Stay tuned.
a blog ? Who is the blogger then ?
will there be subforums ?
You all are the bloggers.
There will be individual diaries that anyone can write. The community can recommend diaries which they think are good ones. they can be ‘tagged’ or labelled so that diaries on food preps, e.g. or SIP or water can be searched and found, whereas diaries on WHO can also be searched and found (different tag).
A diary would correspond to the first post in a newly started thread here in the Forum.
how can I refind my favourite diaries the next say ?
you have the ability to click on them and add them to your ‘hotlist’, a personal list of favorite diaries.
Another feature is nested comments. Instead of bulletin board style:
comment A
comment B
comment C
where commenter C is reponding to commenter A,
it would appear as
comment A
comment B
Each comment can be linked separately so that tomorrow, you could refer to the excellent “comment B” by its own address. Now, we have to say ‘go to ask the mods and look at DemFromCT at 17:51. in the new system you can say go here.
I prefer to edit my comments offline with my own editor. How will it appear when I download it as text ? or in the text-only-archive ? can I post tables in fixed-font ?
It will appear as text. I
It uses HTML, so there’s a new set of mark-up to master. Here’s a quick how to. The software provides a preview before you post, so you see what it looks like.
DemFromCT – at 15:44: The software provides a preview before you post, so you see what it looks like.
Yay!
