Just a note that my avatar changed. I don't mind the new one, as it was one I had uploaded when my account got mucked up and Charlie restored it, but it had never displayed. When I did the upload, the original avatar came back, so I stopped thinking about it. It's all good, but thought you ought to know. Must have been something in the restart of the system that fixed the avatar.

I sure hope so Jake, but I can be quite stubborn and set in my ways.

BTW: is your avatar of the aircraft carrier you possibly served on?

Patrick, that is, in fact, the USS America, circa 1969, taken by me in an A-6 overhead the ship. I was in VA-165 at the time.

Brings back memories for me Jake. I was stationed at Langley AFB in Virginia at the time the USS America was being built at the Newport News shipyards. My next door neighbor (we lived in Hampton, Virginia) was a Petty Officer third class who accompanied me on several occasions to the NCO club. Enough said about that. LOL

When I was in bootcamp...and had to pull guard-duty on some silly building. Sometime around midnight-1am...some intoxicated NCO exited the NCO club. Came near the building I was guarding...I told him not to trespass...he didn't listen...and I had to wack him on the head with my club.:(

Sergeant of the guard came by & patted me on the back...MP's hauled him off. Lol

Apologies if anyone noticed (or was not able to access) the site earlier today. Site was having some maintenance done on it. Sometimes the maintenance can be done on the live site & sometimes not. In the future we will do our best to post upcoming maintenance windows...so everyone knows what's up in case the site goes off-line.

Thanks:)

One minor change Nick. The read threads no longer go to the lighter text.

They're still working just as they always have for me, but a page refresh is still required as always.

Mavericks 10.9.5, Safari 9.1.3.

Thanks for mentioning it.:)

Hi Everyone:

Sorry about the forum downtime we experienced yesterday afternoon and all evening. Apparently we had a data base glitch which has now been taken care of.

We should be back up and running now.

Thanks for your patience.

It was working for me yesterday evening, at least until 9 PM PDT for me, but it was down this morning and just came back on about an hour ago here 1:00+ p.m.PDT.

Thanks Patrick. The downtime was spotty in that some of us experienced no problems while others had difficulty. I guess you were lucky on your end. :)
