• 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.

  • IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!! About the Google Adsense ads being displayed

    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Suddenly can't respond to linked threads

Just noticed this during the last week:
If I click on an email link to a thread I have subscribed to, I can read but not reply. Instead I get the request to join as below.

Also I am being asked to log in again every time I access the site through my normal channel (bookmark to Boas Discussion forum).

Neither are a major challenge for me, but obviously something has changed and thought you should know. If it makes any difference, I am accessing though a PC using Chrome.

Normally this means that you have a corrupted cookie in your browser. Clearing all cookies will usually fix this right up.

Yes, that fixed it thanks. Sorry for being such a doofus user! :eek:

Heck, the solution isn't very intuitive, so it is unlikely that most people would be able to figure it out.

I guess the only thing worse than corrupted cookies would be corrupted ice cream. :rofl::rofl:

Well, I don't know. Sure might piss off Santa Claus if you placed a plate of corrupted cookies out for him to eat on Christmas Eve night. That would probably earn you a bag of coal. :D
