Woo hoo!!!

This time, when I was logging in, I clicked stay logged in always...I hope I did this right....how do I make sure I DON'T log off (so I don't keep having these problems)?

That's it.  Now don't log out and don't dump the forum cookie.

KEEP ME ON....

We don't anticipate making a major change to the overall setup for a while.

(psstt...though I'm kinda sad...I couldn't log on, yet my karma is bad) 

The karma total was -1 but now it's even.

is this how it will be from now on, or is it another temporary problem until you get things set the way they used to be?

The cookie for your login on this upgraded version is now stored.  It was only following the upgrade that you needed to create another one.

There are several DS avatars available in your profile.  They all begin with "DS..."  Since avatars are a unique expression of the individual poster, it would be appreciated if you choose one that's not already in use.  If you need any help with that, please don't hesitate to ask.

Some members have avatars that were created for their own personal use so not all the avatars that you see in messages will be there.  Often they're stored on the cousin's own webspace.

new voices are fun to have around 

I agree!

We can already handle an influx of visitors [on this server] and plan to reopen for registrations and guest traffic very soon.  I know I said that before but then we were forced to convert to a version that MB was less familiar with, and, well, you know the rest.

Anyway, we expect our visitor numbers to really climb-- the list I've compiled of persons interested in learning when it'll happen has become quite large, and the forum log records the attempts to register by unique visitors and sometimes there are several per day-- and so we want to be completely ready for it, yet there still remains one issue that MB plans to care of first before we reopen.

The errors generated were password errors.  Here's the process for changing it:

Click profile in the horizontal menu (top or bottom).  Type your current password in the top Required Info section.  Then scroll down to where it says Choose password and Verify password; this is where you type your desired pw twice.  Then submit the changes by clicking Change profile.

You won't receive any notifications, so you may want to record your new pw somewhere that's safe.

No, registrations remain closed.

There was a brief window following the upgrade in which the registration page was accessible.  Our newest member happened along at just that time.

So you admire Jamison Selby's work with the blonde blowup doll? 

It's... intriguing.  And, um, what Sheenasma said.
