This discusion board is currently being tested -- but feel free to give it a try.

We've gone an upgraded the software -- which will take some getting used to. However it should be mre robust and offer some additional features not available with our previous software.

Peace,
Troy

Well it's about time, I declare. Hello troy and Thump how have you been. I've seen these types of boards before and .....well I'll just see what others think. I will say it takes a little getting used to.

And Thump, I'm going to tell you right now, You'd better be nice to me in this new session because I talked to your mother when the board was down and she told me your "real" name *LOL*. So call it blackmail, stickup or whatever, you just better be cool *smile*.

Ann says hello.

Hello Carey,

I can't be blackmailed, dawg. I ain't got no shame! *LOL* And why you're Fruit-Loopin', I don't know. I have your "real" name and telephone number as well. Which means I can put my finger on you any ol' time I feel the itch, AND I can call and talk to Miss Ann any ol' time I feel like it! *LOL*

Tell Miss Ann I said, hello as well!

Hello everyone. Good to see some familiar names coming across the board and adjusting to the new transition. Since we've been gone Thumper and I had the opportunity to attend a book signing for Jewel Parker Rhodes here in Inianapolis for her newest novel, "Douglass' Women." Needless to say, she was awesome and her reading of excerpts from the novel superb. I have also just finished reading one of our own's debut novel..."Along the Way." Look for the review to be posted soon.

Thought you could hide from me huh? Well it didn't work! I thought maybe Thumper kicked me off cause I don't like his boy EJD - lol!

Anyway, glad to see all your fonts! Haven't read anything exciting lately. Tried a couple of folks I hadn't read before [Omar Tyree/Leslie and Connie Briscoe/P.G. County] and I don't think I'll spend any more time on either of them. Maybe I'll try one of those classics Thumper and Brian are going on about.

Hello Crystal,

*LOL* There you go! *LOL* Yeah, go ahead and try one of the classics. I am anxious to see what type of book Brian think is a classic or not.

Thanks Troy, I think I have it. For those who might be wondering what we are doing, let me try to explain. One of the differences between this board and the last set up is that a reply to a particular post was much easier in the old format. All you had to do was click on that post and simply post a reply by clicking on reply and your response would appear directly under the post that you were replying to. In this format, it's a little more difficult unless your reply is submitted shortly after the post in which you are replying to. The posts are applied to the board in the chronological order in which they are submitted. Therefore you couldn't reply to someones post that hit the board 2 days ago (if others had posted before you) unless you referred to that post in in your reply.

During the shutdown, Troy and I had a conversation about this, hence his post explaining how I could creat a link to a certain post.

So, all I have to do is right click the last icon above the name of the post I wish to respond to and then hit copy the shortcut. Then in the text of my message I simple paste it and a link is create to that post. This tecnic is not as clear and easy as the last format but at least a reply to a post that was written lets say a week ago, can at least be replied to(linked to) without too much confussion, .....I Think *smile*.

I am curious, did anyone else see this as a problem?

Dear Thumper

I'm sorry if my little post that was meant to be funny didn't translate as such. Please accept my apology.

Hello everyone

Seems I have the goods on the mysterious author among our little family. However, I don't want to spoil the surprise before the review is posted. I'll give you a hint, Carey...it's one of our own who has been a little quiet lately.
