Hi Tim,

I'll send an email explaining what happened and how it can be resolved. If you don't receive my message, then send a message to webmaster@kalmbach.com with ATTN: David Voss in the subject.

Thank you for pointing that out. I was trying to figure out why we had so many duplicate posts and now I know why. I was busy throughout the day tweaking stuff and didn't encounter that error until tonight. We'll get that taken care of in the morning. So please bear with us in the meantime.

wow! this is different! i can bold text, italicize, and underline (cool).

i can put sentences on the right

in the middle

or keep them over here on the left

[:)] sweet

i can make words red, orange, or even blue

all this uses html code, which i am already used to, or i can just hi-light and click on these little boxes up here.

The only real drawback right now is navigation from topic to topic but it's something I'm sure I'll get used to. Railroad.net has a similar format, but very very complicated. It has topics and subtopics and sub-subtopics and even sub-sub-subtopics. They get very specific over there. I was so lost and confused I came back here.

The only REAL complaint I have is when I tried to submit a reply several minutes ago. It said: An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the system administrator at webmaster@kalmbach.com. Thank you.

I ended up posting my reply twice. Oh, well, no big deal. I'll just ignore it next time. Just remember to copy your message to a word processor temporarily just in case it gets erased.

Good luck with the new system.

This is really going to take a few days to figure out, but I'm certain it will be ok in the long run.

A lot better. A whole discussion can be read at once (no need for a hundred click-and-downloads).

Nice job, guys.
