I guess it harkens back to the old MS-DOS file naming conventions. Don't know why, but apparently it was decided by someone that using symbols (some password thingies online don't cotton to them either) was just bad computer etiquette or something.
I believe Tom Martin is the one that told me that the symbols in my filenames might be the cause of the problem -- up until then I was hitting a brick wall trying to upload a few particular files and the Forum never gave a hint as to why they wouldn't upload. --RJ--

Could my problems be a browser setting? Using Firefox. |
We're sort of running amok -- I think TM was the only administrator and we haven't been able to entice him back. --RJ-- |

It's been over a month and a half since I did my first bit repairs with Plastex. I have been smoking them all, not daily, but regularly, cleaning with alcohol weekly...no problems

We need an adminiatrator. One day this Forum is going to crash and leave us all wondering where to go and what to do. I can probably ask TM to share his expertise with someone, but I have too little knowledge for it to be me. I feel like we have been on thin ice for quite a while.
Maybe the Forum is safer than I think, but at the very least, we need maintenance and some "clean up" on our topics.....and a few more "headings"

Well, if it crashes, we're covered, I'm still doing weekly backups. I'll help anyway that I can.

BW....Thank you...I had forgotten about that. WHEW!
I do occasionally get aggravated because we have so many great topics and so few places to put them. Again, just me being "grumpy". ted |

Hmm, sounds like we might have an excellent candidate for an administrator! I move that we nominate BWT for consideration -- do I hear a second? --RJ-- |

I am probably the world's worse of straying off topic or starting new topics within old topics, etc. I have found the search feature REAL handy in tracking down some things that I couldn't locate any other way (actually, now that has become the FIRST way I go looking for things), but some moving around and organization (more topic headers?) as TED mentioned might help, too. There IS a LOT of great info here, it's just some of it is scattered about like shrapnel from a hand grenade. --RJ-- |

AYE!!!! Oh wait! First, were there any other "nominations" before we close the nominations? Any volunteers that we might have offended in our hasty bid to secure an administrator? --RJ--
