Moderator Johanna Posted August 22, 2009 Moderator Report Posted August 22, 2009 I wanted to warn you now before the board goes offline temporarily and you all get the shakes. We are going to be down for a few hours while we add some new fancy features to serve you better. In the meantime, while the board is down, or anytime you have a free moment, please contact your favorite vendors and urge them to support LW. Ad details are here: http://leatherworker.../adnews/ad.html Call Jerry of artisansew.com, Kevin of Springfield Leather, Peter of Waterhouse Leather, Cobra Steve and Ivan Sampson, the rosewood burnisher guy, and tell them you appreciate their support of leatherworker. They have made the new improvements possible. But we have so many quality vendors who should be advertising here- directly to their target market, our 6500+ members, people like you! Please contact them and tell them how great LW is, and how much you would like to see their ads supporting our efforts to grow and bring education, entertainment and fellowship to all leatherworkers, their current and future customers. We support the leather community, but LW is growing so quickly that we need funding to pay for the expansions. In exchange for backing LW, our advertisers get exposure to the people who will buy, delivered directly to their website from potential customers from all over the world! YOU can help LW by encouraging your favorite suppliers and vendors to support LW, and you can help them to increase their sales and reputations. Sellings advertising during a recession isn't easy, but so far our advertisers have found their investments have paid off. I need your help to convince more of them.

Contributing Member rdb Posted August 23, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted August 23, 2009 The new look caught me unaware. What a difference a few hours make! You must have worked your tail off getting this going safely. Congratulations, and I will do as you ask about everyone supporting each other. Quote Web page Facebook
hidepounder Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 WOW Johanna!!!! Caught me completely by surprise!!!! WOW, I've gotta go prowl around!!!!!! Quote
Members CitizenKate Posted August 23, 2009 Members Report Posted August 23, 2009 The forum is up and running, but we're still in the process of restoring the site theme and getting all the custom features working again. Meanwhile, check out the new features... and more to come! Kate Quote
Members Double U Leather Posted August 23, 2009 Members Report Posted August 23, 2009 Here's a question.......have the previous messages sent in the inbox, or received been vaporized or are they still available? I'm like everyone else. When I opened the forum page, I about fell over. Huge suprise!!! I'm not real good at change, so at first I kinda panicked a little..........LOL. I'm sure I'll get 'er figured out though. I do hope all of the past messages can be restored. Keep up the good work. This place rocks. P.S. Now that we have a new "house" in cyber space, do I have to clean up after myself better? Quote

I'm not seeing the old PMs yet either, or the calendar, or the ads...LOL give me a little bit to see what we can sort out yet.

TimKleffner Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 HI JO YOU caught me off gaurd!!! Looks great ... Good Luck to all of us who support LW Happy Tooling Tim Quote It's hard to fail, but worse never to have tried to succeed.Theodore Roosevelt
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted August 23, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted August 23, 2009 I was just about at the point of calling Jo, but I figured I'd wait and see. Quick note: Everything is taking about twice as long to load right now. That may be due to the changes, it may be my end of the pipe, I dunno.Also, the screen keeps jumping around, shifting up or down, apparently at random.

Members D.A. Kabatoff Posted August 23, 2009 Members Report Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) While I can certainly appreciate the fact that some people like change and a fresh, new look, I for one am not one of them. I have enough changes elsewhere in my life that it's been nice to be able to come to a forum and not have to try and figure out something new. I suppose I'll just have to suck it up and figure this stuff out like everyone else, but I sure don't like it (of course, my opinion is likely to change by tomorrow). :wtf: Darc ps. don't know why I put the cow there...

Members MHolzer Posted August 23, 2009 Members Report Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) Is there a place for us to report bugs? For instance, on all the posts, instead of the date and time, it's showing h:i:a which should be the hour, minutes and seconds. And the member info on the side here <=== is showing j-Fy instead the joined date. Edited August 23, 2009 by MHolzer Quote 1.
