Not only is it possible, it's been there for YEARS. When you look at the listing of posts, on the far left are envelope icons. If the envelope has an arrow on it, that indicates a thread that you have posted in.

It may be an expensive solution to what you are trying to achieve but my Edset headsets can be used that way. The module has a 1/8" stereo jack that you can plug earbuds into. Then you can even unplug and remove the regular speakers if you want to. You can even order the Edsets without the speakers and use your earbuds. I have not yet tried them with earbuds but do plan to.

There are a couple of ways you can do it. Let's say, for example, that you are seaching for a guy named James. You know though that his last name is not Smith. You would search for: James NOT Smith or James -Smith Here is a pretty good and easy to understand tutorial on Boolean search terms. http://www.learnwebskills.com/search/engines.html

OK folks, I've heard a lot of complaints here about the search function on this forum. I have made a change that we can try out. The option to use the "Google" search in the drop down menu actually works very well. Just use that field and select "www.venturerider" and you will usually get good results. HOWEVER, I have also added Boolean search capabilities to the regular search. Some won't know what that is so let me give a simple example. If you enter 1999 RSV in the search box, it will search the site for every instance of 1999 and every instance of RSV. With Boolean enabled, you can use quotation marks around the term to better isolate the results. In other words, you would type "1999 RSV" in the box and now it will search for that exact term instead of any instance of either word. For those of you who are more advanced with this stuff: This permission allows Boolean searches, which includes the usage of AND, OR, and NOT to limit results. This option can be server intensive for very large forums so its usage is cautioned.

By the way....it was YOU who gave me those dates. What a pain in the butt you are. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showpost.php?p=265067&postcount=18

Hope the humor here has helped some but I also know how much pain you are in. I didn't break mine but severely bruised it a few years ago and it was NOT a pleasant experience and took a couple of months to heal. I know that Eddie bruised his a couple of years ago. I remember him showing up for maintenance day and some of the members were kind enough to buy him an inflatable "donut" and wrap it with aluminum foil so it would match the rest of the chrome on his bike.

It was 2.39 here on Friday. May have dropped a bit more since then. That was at the nearest station where I normally buy gas. May be cheaper at some other stations.

LOL....that's not likely to happen. The Harley site hasn't exactly taken off and I almost killed it after the first year. I decided to give it one more year but it's just not doing much. Mostly my fault probably as since I don't have a Harley, I don't put as much time into it as I should. All riders are welcome here and I hope we make folks feel welcome regardless of what they ride.
-
Beautiful bike. I looked at one just like it last spring but just couldn't do it. Harley has added some nice features over the past few years, I'm sure you will love it.
-
You are right about that one. I'll see if I can figure out the problem in a day or so. Thanks.
-
Sorry...wish I could help but I'm seeing absolutely no problems from here. I'm going to say that it's not the software here that is causing your problems. All the enhanced features are working great as far as I can tell and there is no deleting of paragraphs and etc.

Buy a new bike with carbs?

I agree. I would expect that a dealer will charge at LEAST $250.00 and possibly a bit more. Sorry, I've never had a dealer do it so can't tell you for sure. -
I actually did get a message back from him. He told me that he would send the rest of the money next week. We'll see...I'm not going to lose any sleep over it either way. Yes, I did choose delivery confirmation on this one.

I tell you folks, I have done quite a few transactions on Ebay and for the most part, they have been very positive experiences. This last one has been a real pain though. I list an item a couple of weeks ago. Everything goes well and the winning bid was $114.00. Two days later I get a message from the buyer that she will be unable to complete the purchase because she had to take her dog to the vet and now doesn't have the money. Folks, if your money is THAT tight, you shouldn't be bidding on non-essential items on Ebay. So, I filed a non-paying bidder complaint against her with Ebay and then relisted the item. I send a second chance offer to the next bidder and he declined. I don't really blame him. I'm not usually interested in second chance offers either because they are often either bogus or else I suspect that the seller had used a friend to run up the bid in the first place. So after relisting the item, it sold again. Not for $114.00 though but this time...for $34.50. Oh well....things happen. But WAIT...I then notice that this time the winning bidder is in Mexico. I sometimes will ship internationally but for this item, was not interested in doing so and had clearing listed it as shipping ONLY to the USA. I contacted the buyer to let him know that I would not ship to Mexico. He finally decided that he would have it shipped to a friends house in Laredo, TX. I agreed to that. So...it was then 6 days before he finally paid via PayPal. This is a fairly large item and though not heavy, I knew shipping would be a bit high due to the size. I had specifed shipping as USPS First Class Mail for $27.50. I then got an email from the buyer, AFTER he had paid, instructing me to send it Priority mail because he was in a hurry for it. OK...if he was in such a hurry, why did he wait 6 days to pay? I emailed him back and told him that I had quoted $27.50 for First Class Mail and if I could ship it Priority for that price, I would but otherwise it would come First Class. That was shortly before I left for the post office and hadn't heard back from him yet. At the post office I found that First Class was going to cost $22.50 and Priority would be $34.50. I decided to try and please this guy and I shipped it Priority. So right now, I'm $7.00 in the hole on shipping. I charged nothing for packing and supplies. I just sent the guy another email and told him that per his request, I shipped it Priority and to please PayPal me an additional $7.00. What do you think the odds are that I'll ever see it? I'm guess not very good. No big deal, I can certainly live with it and am just glad that this particular transaction is over with. OH...and here is a summary of one of our email exchanges last Sunday: Me: Please understand that I am going out of town on Monday. If I do not receive payment before then, I will not be able to ship until I return. If you pay today or early tomorrow morning, I'll get it shipped before I leave. Otherwise, I will be away in which case I will not be able to ship until Friday or Saturday. Him: I plan to pay in a day or two. And no, I do not need the case.

What is the location Skid? Is it Gasaway?
-
You are right. The moderator who closed it thought he had deleted it but hit the wrong button. It is completely gone now.
-
By the way, the countdown timers are now added for all events that I have dates for. I'll try to figure out the dates for my maintenance day over the weekend.
-
Sounds good but let me know once you have it nailed down. I won't add it to the page until I have firm dates. I also just noticed that the link is gone from the upper menu bar. I'll try to get it added back soon. It is in the left menu though and here is a link also: http://www.venturerider.org/rally/

You got it my friend.
-
No problem. Done.
-
OK...it's your call but are you SURE that isn't too close to the International? Just asking...this one is your baby and you can make it anytime you please.
-
Looks like you had registered under both names. I just merged them together.
-
Not to worry folks....they aren't re-registering, I am changing the username's for them. It does not affect the membership total.
-
Yours is reading correctly. We aren't over 6,000 at this time.

I could take it from Indianapolis to anywhere in the Northern OH area.
