Everyday Systems

Welcome, Bonnie! Test successful, as far as I can see.

Welcome, Sandie. Sorry to make you jump ship to this new board so soon after you joined the last one. Writing adwords ads was fun, you've got all these constraints, it's almost like haiku. Glad they were sufficiently enticing for you both (I'll be even more glad if nos works for you long term!). It'...

Welcome, Marsha! Glad to hear they don't bug you. I've toned down the ads so that they only appear on pages where actual discussions are taking place, so there is some subject matter to which they could conceivably relate.

Don't be shy about posting here. I know it's awkward to be among the vanguard when there are so few to start with, but we've got to get started somewhere. If you have trouble signing up or posting don't hesitate to email me for help. You can find the archive of old posts starting here: http://www.no...

Welcome from whichever group you signed up with. I hope that because here each board doesn't require a separate sign on, we'll get more cross fertilization. It might not seem like there's all that much to talk about with urban ranger, but I do think if I had to choose just one system to practice, th...

James, that is an inspired avatar. I need to poke around and find something better for myself. Judging from recent posts, I really need to emphasize "don't overdo it" more. I tend to forget how slowly and unsystematically I started way back when. It's just too fun.. the temptation to be a spastic ma...

Hi Shelly,

If you find it's a movement you stick with, send pictures or video and I'll put up a movement page for it.

P.S. thanks for switching over so quickly, after having just joining the yahoo group. Technology is annoying...

I'm reading an interesting book on investing called "Fooled by Randomness." http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/158799190X/ref=nosim/everydaysyste-20 The author is tad obnoxious and I'm glad I don't know him in person, but he writes convincingly, and one of his lessons is good not only in itself as a finan...

Thanks for breaking the ice, Deb. First post surface tension can be a powerful barrier... I discovered recently from a German shugger that the German word for sledgehammer is "Vorschlaghammer." Germans might have to wrap an extra sweater around their Vorschlaghammer. Look how pointy they are on one ...

HI Deb, I think I fixed the overlap problem on the home pages. Take a look and let me know? Thanks for bringing this to my attention! Might have taken a while otherwise.

We'll, I wanted to see what a few people think first.. Thanks beta testers!

Since you all seem to like it, I'll make the big nos announcement soon. Got to fix up that home page ad overlap issue first... (thanks again for pointing that out, Deb)

Deb, I'm glad you, our champion poster, approve!

I didn't notice that about the home pages... looks fine in my web browser. Uggh. That stuff is a pain to fix.

Are you using internet explorer on windows? Aol browser?

Thanks, Deb. I'm sure as the posts get more on topic, we'll see atkins et al show up here too (but not taking over the whole page).

I know, they're a little strange... they're tailored to the information content of each page. As meaningful messages get posted, hopefully they'll get more relevant. And don't worry, I'm not getting rich off them. My dream is to have them cover expenses. I'm going to experiment with positioning, siz...

Couldn't have done the above with yahoo groups....

Now please, sign up in droves... or I'll send this guy after you:

Over the next few weeks, I'd like to transfer all new discussions from the yahoo groups to this phpBB bulletin board. So please take a moment to register an account here. What are some of the advantages of the new board? 1. no more obnoxious full page ads from yahoo (just discreet little ads from me...

Seriously, don't be shy about posting here. It's new, it's complicated, it's different.

If you've had experience with other boards of this type and there's anything you think I should add here, let me know.

Hi John,

I'm pretty sure you'll wind up liking it better. It's the pretty standard next steps for sites that have gotten just a little too big for externally hosted free forums. Thanks for signing up so quickly!

I need to mess around with this a bit...

It seems to work. Great.

This is an example post in your phpBB 2 installation. You may delete this post, this topic and even this forum if you like since everything seems to be working!
