Done! Merry Christmas, Robert. Thanks for everything that you do to make this my favorite stop on the web
Okay guys, here's the deal. The time has come for a forum upgrade. The new version of Vbulletin does a lot more than our version does - a mobile version being one of them. There are also features such as
Photo Albums
Calendar
Events Management
Blog
Article-based Publishing
In other words - a more up to date, and modern system.
We need about $300 to do this.
I have just found out that we have an anonymous member who has promised to match any donation from another member - one dollar for every dollar donated, up to a max of $100. So if we have someone here who wants to chip in a good chunk of mooolah, our anonymous donor will match it! How about that!
I am willing to set a side a day of upgrading and tweaking the new forum, when the time comes, probably early January.
But first, we need the funding. We have $35 so far, from 2 members in December. Want to help this cause? There is a button at the top left - you can't miss it.

The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.
