I'm not sure if you are looking at the dark or light mode but you can switch between them by clicking on the "moon" at the lower right of the page.

Oh, you will continue to be able to choose whichever you prefer. I’m not getting rid of them, was just curious.

Just curious. At the to of the main forums page, just beside where it says "Post New Topic", there are three choices. Personally I use the first one that is the more conventional look like we had before., The third one is a "fluid" look I guess. It's ok but jot my preference. The center was is a "Grid" layout. I've been working on it a bit and adding some pictures to the topics but not done yet. The fact is, I don't like that layout at all. Just wondering if anybody is actually using it?

Sure....SURE you didn't.

Yea, Yea, Yea....but you're not a new member. You're an OLD member.

We are glad that you have joined our group. Please tell us a little about yourself.

Well, after discussing it with the developers, I now know what is happening. The old forum used separate profile fields for the city and state. For this map to work properly, the city, state has to be in one field, like Oberlin, OH. So, I have to come up with a script and query to change it in all the profiles. I will get it done in the near future.

Not really anything in the box. I’ve had it out to make an adjustment but it was many years ago. Don’t remember much. I think it was 1999.

I haven't bought it yet. Planning to but just got kind of busy and haven't got around to it.

Well, it sure missed some. Still though, the old maps didn't add anybody at all, you had to manually add your pin so I guess it's a little better anyway. Did you move your marker?

Hey, you were obviously there and just don't remember.

Good idea. You can move your marker. This map uses Mapquest and apparently isn’t 100% accurate.

You can edit posts but there was a 5 minute limit on doing so. I just changed the permission for Supporting Members to be able to edit at any time. I don't know if it's retroactive but I think it is. Please take a look. Click on the three dots at the upper right of your post.

This software does not recommend TapaTalk due to security and many other issues. They do not officially support it. That being said, TapaTalk tells me that they are developing a plug-in that will enable it to work but say that it's 2 to 3 weeks out. This forum actually scales automatically and appears to work very well on phones without TapaTalk. Have any of you tried it. It seems very good to me.

Neither are you.

No, we had a member map on the old site also. So far, I’ve found no solution for the flags.

For 12 years, I worked for a Hong Kong based company importing and selling automated electroplating machines. Primarily for plating circuit boards but also general metal finishing. The macherery ran on Programmable Logic Controllers, mostly Allen Bradley and Omron but the operators interface was all on Unix so I had to do a lot of work with it. I later installed a version of it on one of my computers and it worked fine but sometimes getting certain programs to work was a royal pain. Mind you this was all close to 20 years ago. There have been a lot of changes since then. I do most overlying on my MacBook Pro now. Been using them for several years now and can honestly say that I've had zero issues and not a single crash. I do have Parallels installed so run Windows 10 on the rare occasion that I need a Windows program that I can't find, inexpensively, for the Mac.

OK folks, I am done. If you find that your membership is expired and you think that it shouldn't be, please send me a message, email, etc. and I will look into it.

Still working on this. It is a long and tedious process that involves going through a full year of PayPal memership payments, getting that info for each member, going to their profile and moving them back to the supporting members group. I have done 8 months so far, so 4 more months to go. Should finish it later today.

Well, not that small. I know that some have lost their membership status. It was due to a bad cron task that I added this morning to sort the member, expired members, etc. I am working on it and hope to have it all back to normal soon.

I've added a new "Members Map" and the link is in the menu bar at the top called "Community Map". You don't need to do anything, it will add you automatically if your country, state, etc. are in your profile. It will take a few days before it adds everybody. It only adds 100 per day due to API key restrictions and etc. So please be patient. Also, only Supporting members will be listed.

They do expire after some time though. I’ll have to look , don’t remember how long.
