IMPORTANt*****Don't Be Mad, but we are moving!!!!!

[Melissa Norris]

It is probably my own fault, but I could not get anything to work here as far as the admin functions (is anyone surprised?!?!?!) So Wendy offered to figure it out and has set up a different forum here on proboards. I can operate it! We did some tweaking last night and I like it.

I think maybe this board was so old, that I had not updated things, there were a lot of messages in my inbox about updates, so who knows.

However, I wanted to provide a nice place for everyone who feels uncomfortable posting at HT at this point. I know some people will want to post both places, some only here, others might drift away, and that is all fine. I just hate to lose contact with good friends from over the years.

Here is the link and you can use the same log-in from this board, it should work. BUT I think you need to click register when signing in for the first time, then it will allow you to use the same name as here.

homesteadingfamilies.proboards.com/

I think it looks pretty good, Thanks Wendy!!!!

Spread the Word!!!

[Melissa Norris]

Feel free to copy and paste anything you have posted here to that board.

[wendyw]

Melissa, you crack me up! I'm glad to get it working for you!

Good morning. I'm logged in over there but can only read, not post. Do I need to do something else?

[wildhorseluvr]

I can't even log in, it says They can't find my user name.

Never mind.  Time, magic, random internet errors, or.... have fixed the problem.  Thanks

[grannyg]

It will not let me in, either...but I will keep trying..

[bellad]

I got here, but could not post on the welcome thread.

[Melissa Norris]

Ok, I think that forum is set wrong. if it is I will redo it. Be patient!!

Wendy, can you check the settings and see if you can figure it out?

[snoozy]

What I found was that although my username/acct is accepted as my proboard "global" acct, I still have to register for the new site specifically, and had to re-upload my avatar. That's ok -- we just need to know that that is the procedure.

[Melissa Norris]

Thanks snoozy. That might help those who are having a hard time.

[Possum Belly]

The other site is MUCH better. Thank you.

[sawmilljim]

Yep I can't get in at all

[smokey]

Looks like a nice board but I can't log in. It gives me this error message-

We could not find a forum account with that username. Be sure you are entering your forum *username*, not your account's display name.

You have successfully logged into your ProBoards global account.

Do you already have an account on homesteadingfamilies.proboards.com? If so, enter your username and password below to link your forum account to your ProBoards global account. If not, you can create a new forum account.

[smokey]

OK, I took the advice snoozy provided and it worked fine. Thanks snoozy!

[Melissa Norris]

think everyone need to click REGISTER when you are signing up for the first time.

[solargeek]

Well done! I am there now too. Had to re-register

[kasota]

  It worked!   I'm there....

[fordy]

Ok , I registered so guess I'm In ! , fordy

[lindym]

I got logged in but couldn't post except here.....

[homebody]

I tried to register but the submit page won't load. I will try again later.

[homebody]

Still have same problems so will have to wait till I can go to the library to have a faster connection. See everyone later, maybe.

Sad, I have been with HT since the lusenet days I think around 1996 but don't quote me. I have taken a few vacations from the site, and was probably a bigger poster pre Y2k but I still follow. I think in about 08' I had to reregister, I couldn't remember my user name it had been a while. There have been a lot of changes losing people was sad, gaining new member and their insights have been good. But through it all I have always admired Melissa, she has been the constant thread stitching the old and new together. Her kindness and gentle helpfulness guidance and suggestions, she has laid her whole life wide open for us sharing her up's and downs. I remember the big cancer fundraiser HT members had for Melissa to help pay for horribly expensive drugs and my prayers for her healing they worked yay. I admired her ability to keep up with all of us while raising a young family. I disappeared for a few years logged in one day and she had a daughter getting married. Time sure flies. I checked in one day and discovered Old Hoot had passed away, I really miss Old Hoot and all the others some of whom are still here and some who have went ahead. And I love the new members they bring a fresh shot in the arm with stories and experiences they share. What I am saying is appreciate what you have here, pay attention to your friends and appreciate their views, things change but it is usually for the better .. I will be checking in on all of you... Blessings to your new venture Melissa
