As I sat down at my computer this morning and selected “Knots” I was greeted with the usual ‘sign-in’ request.
But with a smile on my face, I told myself that, “Tomorrow is changeover day. This will be my last sign-in procedure.”
Hopefully.

Forest Girl set the date and she is as trustworthy as you can get.But - you will notice I ended my post with "Hopefully".Frosty“If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert,

"...FWW never said this will go away right away for sure now did they ?" Pretty much, "they" did (Gina asserted that the log-in problem would go poof along with the old platform). We'll have lots of other stuff, new, to keep us occupied I'm sure.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)
Can I start the complaints now? Just to get a head start you know. :-)Cheers,Peter
Great idea, Peter. How 'bout this: you make a list of predictable complaints, giving each a corresponding letter, A, B, C.....M, N... (hopefully not to Z). Then, when any of us has a complaint, we can simply click Reply and then type the corresponding letter(s), it will save a great deal of time!!forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)

Roc,
"M"...
Not funny. Y'know, some people just can't tell a joke.
Haha

I tried that with my jokes/puns once. Unfortunately, the list got a little too long, and when I got to "ZZZ", people thought I was saying they were boring. ;-)

"To READ messages, you will not need to login any more. You will, however, need to log in to post a comment or start a new discussion." So, in effect, there is no auto-login? Mmmmmmm, might we ask why? It would be the only forum I've ever registered to that doesn't have a "remember me" feature covering all activities (read, write, edit). That security level is more like what you find at eBay, places where people spend money, LOL.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)
I hear, or rather see, where you are coming from Gina.Would it be possible to have ONE log-in in the case of multiple responses in one sitting?Frosty“If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert,

The last time we had a change, it took quite a while to work the bugs out. I should not think it unreasonable to find bugs in the new change either.
I can't worry about this right now, for a couple of reasons: 1) It will be what it will be. . .; and 2) I just finished a round of golf with an 87 in 38-degree weather. So what, you say? Well, this is Ottawa (Canada) and it is a cat's eyelash from December! Usually by this time we've had 2 or 3 big dumps of snow and people are worried about whether they should insulate their pool tables. No beer cart, no tee markers and lots of goose crap but it was still golf! I'm so pleased with the world right now I don't care if the fine gnomes who manage IT for Taunton take until December 2nd to get everything working smoothly!Regards,RonAs God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!

Hi TinkYou gotta expect a few wrinkles in the bottom sheet of life, its the way the cookie cracks, the mercedes benz etc.Speakin of which, the ole fickle finger of fate struck here. Being over energetic with the button on the digi camera, I rapidly started running out of gray cells on my Apple. Archived a lot of older stuff onto an external hard drive a while ago,expecting to back them up on some dvds when they arrived via snailmail. I forgot didn't I! Had a dirty alternator changeover here in the settlement and the aforesaid ext hd spewed its electrons everywhere. Lost most of my folio of work over the last 10 years. The Boss lost a lot of stuff too, her CVs and other documents(apparently) that are irreplaceable. She reinforces her disappointment with crockery and a broom handle.Bummer, wouldn't it tear the fork out of your nitey.wotI started out with nothing...and I still have most of it left!
Ugh, I like my job. (retirement)
Sorry about your loss. That's a real bummer.But - now you know what your sheep feel like after they are shorn. :)Frosty“If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert,

Hi Frosty You mean after my wife expresses her disappointment?I'm hoping that I can recover some of the later ones from a machine back home (if it's still alive) and I think I still have all of pre digital somewhere. Any way I'm converted, backup my backups IMMEDIATELY. wotI started out with nothing...and I still have most of it left!
J,
Moot point now perhaps, but I've been leaving myself signed in on Knots. Seems to work.
It probably opens doors to people stealing my identity. They'll give it back as soon as they realize their mistake. They'll pay me to take it off their hands.

>greeted with the usual 'sign-in' request.<
I don't have much patience with this. I had Queenmasteroftheuniverseandbabybunnytrainer
sign me in while I had a postal episode.
I feel better now.
Just kidding
: )
The Samba helped.
Reminds me of an interview I heard yesterday with a singer song writer. ( may have been a comedian come to think of it ) The Interviewer said : I understand you lived on a ranch for a while apart from the bustle.
He said well yes it was therapeutic. For awhile. It turned from solitude into isolation and I knew we had a problem when I found my wife shooting cats with a deer rifle.
The interviewer said : really ?
He said: yah I found her on the porch in just her under wear, panties and braw, blastin away.
Not sure if it was true but he seemed to be serious.
? I donknow just what I heard.

Sorry Frosty... looks like the switch won't happen today. I'll post more details when I get in the office. Tomorrow maybe...
