The forum

Guess I'm lucky member #13...

Thanks for the invite James, I wondered what happened to that DemolitionX forum, I checked now and then and it never came back active and remained locked after Ed I think got sick.
I remember starting a forum like this for a place to go when they "temporarily" closed- while waiting for it to become active again.

I emailed a bunch of the active people and not one joined so I just deleted it.
Hopefully this will do okay.

One suggestion- the bright stop light yellow is absolute murder on the eyes... like staring at a lightbulb trying to read the wattage label.

Randall,

Thanks for joining. It's good to hear from you. You've always had some great insight and positive things to share and I hope you will continue them here.

As for the yellow color: Is it really that bad?

Thanks,

James

Thank you James, the other forum tended to have a couple of hostile folks on it who seemd to delight recounting how many artifacts and the like they destroyed on purpose, especially to get on the nerves of preservation minded people, but I was happy to show them the 4 figure selling prices for some of the stuff like stone columns, marble mantles, carved woodwork etc they no doubt ground into rubble for years for fun thinking it was worthless junk

demojames moved this part to new theard http://www.demolitionforum.com/showt...hp?p=27#post27

Yeah, the yellow is pretty bright, a couple or three shades paler would be easier on the eyes I'm sure.

I moved a portion of your topic and picture and moved it to a new thread. Hope you don't mind. Amazing what I can do!! LOL

Also is the color better now? I hope so I think it looks better and cleaner now.

Hi,
No problem, I forgot what thread I was in, thanks!

I run a couple of forums for a radio show host, and own a few myself and have used several different board software. I just switched one from phpbb to the new SMF and I like it better- your Jelsoft is better still. The owners of another board I go to use it and it works real slick but when I went to look at the author's site I discovered unfortunately it's not free but costs an annual license fee or a lump sum purchase.

My lost site board uses software that WAS free - Invision board, but before I got around to updating to a later version they went to a fee based version only- $165 or somesuch!

The real fun begins when you have to do updates or add modifications and something doesn't go right. If you know how to mess with the php and css files, you can change a lot of stuff to customize.

Yeah the yellow is slightly better now thanks!
