I had a client ask me to build a website with WebEasy. http://rlnphotography.com I hate that software, and would rather code pages from scratch than jump through all the hoops. That is just my humble opinion, and someone else might find it useful and easy to figure out. Johanna *the owner of this site takes care of it now, not me. I shared the link as an example of a website built with that software.

For the love of all things bovine, while touching cows, Beaverslayer, do not let the hat tilt, tip, or >aarrgghhh< fall off. Alex, I don't know why removing the www works, but I took it out of my bookmarks (rightclick, properties then edit) and now the links are acting right. Ben's idea to flush the cache is a good one. Mike, did editing the www help with your situation? Johanna

I don't know why this is, but I'm checking into it. I'm having a different log in problem. When I click on a link from an email the site is automatically logging me in as "admin". Grrr... I'll get back to you, Mike! Johanna

We need to refrain from posting copyrighted material that we don't have permission to use. Thanks guys for your understanding and cooperation. Johanna

Jpgs and bmps are both allowed by the forum, so are pngs, gifs, and a handful of other extensions. I don't know why Photobucket isn't working for you, and I have asked a couple members who use PB to take a look at this thread. With luck, we'll be able to get this resolved. Hang tight- I'm checking. Johanna

I worked for the older incarnation of Tandy, and everything was on a shoestring, but I can't say I've ever had a sweeter job. I never made much money, but I looked forward to opening the store every morning. The Tandy store attracted a variety of interesting friendly customers, I got to travel to events and camps and wherever the customers were, and some days they paid me to play. I would get an idea in my head, sit down and make it, and sell the stuff so everyone that liked it could make one too. The local leather guild met in my store, and they would help me teach anyone who was interested. Customers would call, I'd pick out the hide I would buy if I were them, and I'd ship their stuff knowing they would drop in the next time they were in town for a cup of coffee. If Tandy opened a store near here I would be begging for it, but I probably live too far off the beaten path. How many jobs do you have in your life that you can honestly enjoy every day? Tandy was one for me. Johanna

I live in a small town about an hour north of Dayton. It's flat farmland and well kept neat towns in all directions. My husband and I have a blended family of five kids, and a brand new baby granddaughter. I make hot subs and pizzas part time in our local store, and I have a bunch of websites. I work with several of the local historic associations as a historian, mostly on the Miami-Erie Canal. You can see some of my pictures here. I was born in Cincinnati, but raised in New Hampshire, New York and Pennsylvania. I have also lived on the beach in Charleston, SC and near it in Norfolk, VA. I liked living in Macon, GA very much, and miss it when it's cold outside, like today. If I had my choice, and a guaranteed Internet connection, I would live on a hilltop near Beckley, West Virginia. Or maybe in Maine. Or the Smoky Mountains. Well, I narrowed it down to the Appalachians anyway, I guess. Johanna

Today it was almost 40 degrees and raining, which isn't typical of an Ohio winter at all in Jauary. Here's pics from last winter of my backyard and barn. Looks a lot different in the summertime, huh? This is looking through the fence at my house before we finished the deck. There are two apple trees, two plums and a black walnut tree inside the fence, on the other side, behind the barn, are blackberry bushes, rhubarb, 25 feet of raspberry canes, and my garden. There are flowerbeds all along the walks and house (I live on a corner) and I'm fortunate to have my mom's help keeping everything tidy. She loves to garden and work in the yard, and I love doing whatever she is doing, right next to her. We spend our time pulling weeds and trimming branches, sometimes talking, sometimes not, but it's one of the best parts about living here in Ohio. Her touches are all over my yard, and she babies the Rose of Sharon she planted, and I love putzing around with her. Johanna

Do you still have Front Page (part of MS Office)? Coffeecup is another good WYSIWYG editor. Dreamweaver costs money. Johanna

I never leave anything I care about in the car. I used to work for 7-Eleven on the beach, and there were two thirteen year olds who lived behind the store who could open a car door faster than the locksmith or the police could when someone accidentally locked themselves out. I hope you get your checkbook back, and I hope the karma bus is running down the thieves. Johanna

Fixed. You were right, just a setting. Johanna

Yep! What Denise said! Johanna (add to list: see if "stupidcomputers.com" is available!)

It was JohnD, I think. ~J

Hmmm...the pics aren't set to show for guests on purpose, but I can't remember if it affected smileys or not on the old board. If it didn't, it's probably a setting I am overlooking somewhere. Thanks for the heads up, BM, I will check into it. Johanna

:scared: I can't see any problem with the smileys. What's not working? Johanna

JR, I'm glad you figured out posting pictures, your work is gorgeous. Do you draw your own scroll designs? I like the way the curls flow. The detail is so rich, lovely work. Thanks for sharing. Johanna

I almost closed this thread before I went to bed last night, out of courtesy to all the parties involved. Steven Siegel has built his business on customer service, and I'm glad he came here and contributed to this discussion. I'm not taking sides, but I believe customer issues like this one are best resolved OFF the board, in private, don't you? Thanks everyone for keeping this discussion civil and constructive. Johanna (I'm probably the only person here who knows who Kevin Mitnick is, and I would be tickled to be introduced!)

Hello again, Drac! I set you up to view the Adult Section, but I'm afraid it's kinda emty at the moment. We are going to try to restore the older posts this weekend, but in the meantime, please post some of your pics in there. You may need to log out, then in, to view it. Glad to have you here, watch out for the doughnuts. Johanna

One of the staff members has sent an email to Steven Siegel alerting him of this thread. It's not fair to run down a company in public w/o trying to resolve it on an individual basis first, so let's let SCOUTER notify Siegels of the problem before any more is said, pro or con, about the company's policies. SCOUTER, please post back to this thread when you have had a chance to discuss this order w/ Steven Siegel, and let us know how it worked out! Thanks everybody! Johanna

leatheroo- email me the pdf at admin@leatherworker.net and I'll post it here. Not your fault the pdf wouldn't upload, it's a permission setting thing. ~J

Thanks Bob. We have a brand new webhost now, and barring another freak "Act of God" event, we should be good to go now, for good. The error tonight was because the wind stole Beaverslayer's tinfoil hat and he had to run around the yard chasing it before he could catch it and get it back on again. Hmmm anybody got any duct tape? Johanna

Hello, Elad! I thought I "recognized" you from the leather web-ring! Very nice work, as always. Welcome to leatherworker.net! Sorry you came in at the crash, but we'll be up to speed again soon, and are working on restoring the old posts now. Glad to have you here, and thanks for sharing pictures! (Got more?) Johanna

I had two Rotts and a big black lab for many years...but they got old and died. I still see them out of the corner of my eye, 350 lbs of black fur and good nature. About a year after the last one died, at age 17, a small black dog was on my front porch, skinny, frozen and pitiful. I brought him in and gave him a bath, and tried to find his owner for days, weeks, months...his name is Toby, and I wonder if my big black dogs didn't tell him, "You're lost, so go find Johanna!" Toby is my watchdog. He has different snuffles and signals, so I can keep track of the kids and traffic in and out. He's not cuddly like the big dogs, and he prefers being behind the couch to sitting on it, but he's a good dog who knows his job. I want a newfoundland, but I'm waiting for one who needs me. I don't believe in buying dogs from puppy mills when there are so many dogs who need good homes. I'm a sucker for dogs with sad eyes, so I've had all kinds over the years. Every dog has given more than he's taken, dogs are just that way. Johanna
