This is a test. C

It appears to be working. C

I can post too :)

Terps....Looks like you, me, and "the other guy" are the only ones with the cahones too try it out...cutting edge stuff! Hey Admin...we get any cute smiley face stuff?

Chris, Sorry too refer too you as the "the other guy". (I dont want too start a flamefest in the first thread.) Congratulations on being the first too post. Did you just wander in here from someplace else...like terps and I? Do we get a help section, so that we can learn how too use this place? It's kinda scarey...like being in a big white room that doesnt have a door or any windows.

Hi guys, At first glance I still like the WTB board. When you post a reply you can see all the other posts. Can then respond to several. Here you either see the first one or the one you are replying to, but not the rest. Hope they put in instructions on how to post pics. I need those smileys to save my bacon, so people know when I'm not being serious. Otherwise I can see a lot of brush fires being started in the dry season.

I think I got in.

Geeze, I have been through three kinds of H*ll to get here, finally was able to get a new account created with a new e-mail and new username and it worked. But, I am here now! Let the games begin! :- )

Hey Holmes, Carlos and Highwind. (Stick a fricken happy face here.) Welcome too the "new" forum. (another happy face) Seems kinda "bare-bones" around here. Do we have a "pro-active" admin around that is willing too answer some questions or are we pretty much on our own? (Left too our own devices...I am sure that all of us would leave beer cans all over the place.) Talk too your guinea pigs! Later...'lint.

Lint, I'm not sure what to think, yet? Looks like we're on our own, or something? {confused face here) I don't see Moderators, I don't see who's online, I don't know? I'm sure it will all come about in time.

Hello in there, there, there, there..... Echo, echo, echo, echo...... This is going to take awhile to get use to. And no smiley, frowny things.... 8.[

I think that last echo made it to me. LOL We'll be rockin and rollin after a while, I'm sure.

Ahhh, I get it now! :- )

Test

Hmmm

Kind of confusing..... I assume I just created a sub-thread to your sub-thread Marshall?

Hey Emmo. I think they tricked us and sent us too some sort of forum hell. I notice that all the pranksters are here...and all of the good boys and girls aren't. They have been feeding me bread and water for 3 days...and they took away all of my toys. Anybody know Morse Code? (... .... .. -) The Oklahoma kid is carving a gun out of a bar of soap...and I have been bribing the guards with colorful colloquialisms and midwestern folk songs. I havent resorted too putting my pants on backwards yet....but if we dont get some color around here soon...I dont what I will do. SHHHH! Here comes the guard!

Sir Buttliness What do you mean all the "good" boys and girls aren't....Hmmmppf...I think I've been insulted.!! (Frown, smack, frown, smack..) Bread AND water?? I could've sworn I told them either or...not BOTH! I know Morse Code....he's kind of a strange fellow...has a bit of a stutter but I'm sure he'll grow out of it...:-( Watch the Okie kid ... if he asks you to bend over to get the soap, you might want to Just Say No! Lint...do you even WEAR pants?? Paula

Oh God...it's Big Nurse! The prison nurse! What next...Bobby P giving Pri-G enemas in the commissary? Lint...do you even WEAR pants?? [quote] Not when your online, sweetheart. ;) So lets take bets on who the first member too be banned will be.

Emmo, maybe it has something to do with the lenght of the post as to why they came out looking that way, heck I don't know? Lint, it's a tad bland fo sho, for some reason I have a hankerin for vanilla ice cream. Paula, I'm not that kind of guy, I only shower with affluent divorced women. ;- )

Test

Yep Emmo, it looks like it.

Hey lint! I thought I heard the tinkling of a couple dozen Natural Lite cans!! :.) This must be like solitary confinement. Doesn't even have satelite or cable here. :.( Boy I don't get how these responses get posted (order-wise). I posted this in response to your initial shout out. Yet it gets posted way down the discussion. Sure liked the Yabb board better. Much more logicistical!! And yeah,.....I know I sound like a crotchety old man! ;-)

test

looks like all you can do is post links to your pics, huh lint? that's all I can figure out so far. Hope this is a work in progress or this won't be nearly as entertaining! No PM's either, bummer.

Strange

Hey Marshall....any idea why they aren't using the Yabb software here? From what I understand, the software is a freebie, and I would think you could us it on any domain.?

Emmo, in all 100% seriousness, I have no idea, I'm along for the ride on this whole thing, just like you. Sorry, wish I could answer? :- (

Let's think of a few possibilties here......... The link we were given say's "preview" and you can only access this via the preview link. Maybe we really are guinue pigs and they are looking for feedback on what to offer, ad and change? Or, Maybe in the preview mode, if it's a mode, is only bare bones and the real/live mode is complete? Or, Maybe this is it and they hope to build as we go? I hope it's one of the first two.

I think we have already given some suggestions. We could use a few answers. I dont mind being a lab rat...but until the powers above take a little interest and supply some answers on exactly what we are doing here...WTF. It cant take that much effort on thier part too do so. If this is an example of WTB is going too be in the future...There is always GW and about 10 other sites too waste our time in. We all put the effort into being here...ready too help out...and we are left, looking like idiots running around in a maze, looking for a piece of cheese.

Agreed! WTF and all...... But I found the cheese! This is just too tedious! http://img15.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img15&image=f7-Dave20Cheesehead.jpg T

Lets take the bull by the horn.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/buttlint/09810a5c.jpg (And give Paula a little thrill.) At least this will test whether the powers that be are awake at the switch.

lint, Literally LMAO!! A Toro of a different flavor for this forum!! This will determine if "the man" is watching!

So this is the new place. (this is where the smilie would be if they had any)I think it needs some color too.

Is that Jodyand?

Yea Boys, nothing runs like a Deere http://img103.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img103&image=69-DeerWhite-Tailed.jpg

Awww Lint....now I have to go and get a wire brush and throughly scrub out my mind....or I'm going to have visions in my mind's eye of lint stuck in places it has no place being....Lysol chaser, anybody?? Are you asking for votes on who we WANT to ban?? ;-) Paula

Is that better Marshall LOL

Well, hell, Marshall Guess that leaves me out....my affluency, such as it was,went the way of "I don't"...LOL Paula

Emmo Our official state hat deserves better recognition than that....(rolling eyes...whoops...gotta remember not to roll them all the way to the back of the head...) Paula

Jody, all the "bling bling" of the site had me so puzzled I couldn't make out if that was you. ;- )

just been testing http://img119.exs.cx/img119/9043/84-WinchesterBear.jpg

Marshall when i filled out my profile it asked for name , address so i put my name. Didn't even notice till you asked. ; )

Jodyand........Today 2:11 am Glad to see someone else is a latenighter Jody. ;- )

Marshall......Glad to see someone else is a latenighter Jody. ;- ) Only on the weekend not to often on weeknights have to get up to early.

I hear that Jody. I use to be able to hack 1:00am on weeknights, now 11:30 is pushing it. Well, I have 3/4 Moderator status now I guess, I see I can edit & delete your posts and see IP's. LOL In the reviews section, I posted a test review if you will. Someone came in last night late and tryed to make the picture uploading work for reviews. I tried a .gif image and couldn't make it show up. But, they are trying it appears, that's a good thing! The more I find out the more I'll pass on. Hopefully were on our way.

By the way...Who's Abby?

Will have to wait & see what new,interesting discussions take place between 2 posters. Hope to see some sparring going on!! ha ha ha

Welcome bmwe0692, What and from whom are you wanting to see?

i made it...........finally bill ps....thanks marshall....:)

Ok, I'm here.........I joined way back in NOVEMBER, so does that mean I have seniority? I will try to be good and give abby a chance, but they need to know that we are very loyal to the old forum, and if they want a smooth transition, they need to try to make it as much like the older one as possible.....which means not starting from scratch, but just improving what we already know and love. I'd even pay to keep the thing going like what we are used to. At the risk of sounding like a crybaby, I want my stars back...I earned them. I want my smiley faces, I want pictures, I want my OPE list I want it to be called OPE forum, not lawnmower, I want icons under our name, I want my log-in name shown, not the name my Mamma gave me, I want to toggle between this and No topic forum, I want our witty sayings under our name I want to read it like the old one, I want to still see the archives, I want to stay logged in, I want to see who else is on, I want PM's...ETC,ETC. I don't mind the new forum, but I want it to have the GOOD features we had before. It should be an enhanced upgrade of what we had before, not a whole new weird thing. All I want for Christmas is not to lose what we have...... Frank D. faithfulFrank

Frank, you have a PM on WTB to help you.

Just another test.
