• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Just a FYI to all that don't know you can change how many posts you view on a page.

I continually see members that state there is so many pages on a BOI threads and reference which page something is on and state there are hundreds of pages on long thread.

Keep in mind that each user can set the amount of posts to view per page. Some may have it at five posts per page and others at 40 posts per page.

Referencing page numbers isn't a very good way to ask someone to check something. Instead reference the post number.

I would think most would set it to 40 posts per page if they knew there was a option to change it.

Anyway, In your User CP go to settings and options. Click on options to select your desired view.

Bear in mind that the larger the number of posts you choose to display in a thread, the larger the file size of the document sent to your browser from the server, and the slower it will be to load. This is PARTICULARLY true if images are in the posts.

Not to mention that this does put more load on the server.....

Those people with slow ISP connections should keep this fact in mind.
