Yep, you're all signed in. I'm not quite sure what it does for you, but if you check your e-mail you'll have a message from proboards telling you to activate your account, all you have to do is click the link and click activate. It can only help, but I'm not sure what, I'll have to check up on it.
But welcome to proboards anyway. If you ever need help, just click on my name and then click send a personal message, and I'll get it the next time I log in.

it's me trying again....anybody out there? Is there an echo??? I added your moderator status now that you are on. BTW, could you help me keep an eye out on the old board for persons that miss the link here? I sent emails, but MSN email was not working right (go figure?) Anyway, nice to see my non genetic Bro here. Carl

I think you have to hit the word "reply" on the previous post instead of just typing a response in the quick reply tab.

You can also insert "hosted Pictures" and do quite few things here (although not quite as much as MSN), but at least your F5 finger will heal now. Carl

Glad to see babygeige, Brenda and bikeguy!! ;D Bikeguy, unfortunately the home page nor the forum page does not have psicture storage space (You can post on both) We are suggesting a photobucket account or similar (I host/store my own pictures) then to post new pics to our picture board, and finally we are linking to members photobucket or other picture accounts and display thumbnails of pictures on this post form the home page. Here is this page (a work in Progress): Members Pictures Page

It's picking up Carl, very positive sign. Eve, Brenda, Baby, Bike, and John all made it. I'll have to try to track down Ed.

will the old sight be up and running for awhile. i suggest perhaps a new thread in every category with links to here and possibly something large and bold right on the EA home page with a link to here....as well as sending out emails to less active members? what do ya think?

Sounds good to me bike. The only one that flagged in my head was Monster, aka Ed. I wonder how we find the lesser active members? I think the reminder or even if we can just get a re-direct on the main page itself might be better. As soon as you try to go to the MSN page it just sends you here.

I think the reminder or even if we can just get a re-direct on the main page itself might be better. As soon as you try to go to the MSN page it just sends you here. A 301 Re-direct (this is what it is called) is a great idea, HOWEVER MSN does not provide this. I am actually using a 301 redirect for the Home page as I used a Blogger template (by Google) then modified it, bought my own URL and then pointed the redirect at the new page (it works so smoothy you do not even know it is happening. The original address was everything-aquatic.blogspot.com but the redirect takes you to www.everything-aquatic.com/We do need to place a link on each board as been suggested and also go back and check for new posts as well.

I'll keep my eye on the old one as well, had it send to me over email each time there was a new post, course I had to set to daily digest, but now i'll set it to individual so that if someone posts over there, I'll get it right away.
Awesome to be here! I for one am excited about the forum way of chatting with y'all! I'm in about 1000 forums online and this is what i"m use to, so yay go me...heehee (jk) No worries John, this place'll seem like home in no time.
another thing, with the posts that the MSN topic ended with, maybe a pg-18 + space is needed? you can password protect it and only those that you know are over 18 are allowed entry. No offense to anyone under 18, but the mom in me stands up right away...lol

lol But why would we want a PG 18 thing on a fish forum? New members might think that's strange and be driven away or think we'e talking about something we shouldn't be or something and not enough about fish.

I agree with Renee here. this will do nothing but alienate a very select few members of our lil cyber community....and renee is right, we shouldnt be talking about anything that all shouldn`t be able to hear. If we need to talk about "old people " things,we can IM who we want to talk to.
