MASON, CHUCK, AND MATT,

I just wanted to share with you my impressions of the new software. I think it is great. Although, I did have a difficult time getting signed on at first, after a 2nd attempt with a 2nd password, all is working great. I love the new features - private messsages, profiles, structure, etc. GREAT JOB.

For what it is worth , everyone I talk to also likes the new system, with the exception of those who are having difficulty signing on. A few seem to be having the same difficulty I did at first.

On a another very important note EVERYONE I talk to says the same thing about being able to go back for years (plural) and search the archives - this forum is like an old beat up copy of HPFAP or another good resource for many of us - we love reading a certain persons posts or posts on a certain topic over and over from time to time - I would love to see this capability retained in the new software and am fairly certain I am not alone in my thoughts here.

The reason I mention this is because I read in a thread that you were considering deleting the old posts

PLEASE DON"T!!!!!!

But if you must, before you delete all the old posts, I have a selfish personal request. I was hoping you could help me find a post I posted last year - I believe August of 2001. It was titled "The myth of Running Bad" I have had quite a few requests from fellow 2+2ers for it recently and I would really like to be able to find the original post as well as the responses to it. I am sorry I am not adept enough to figure out how to do this on my own but any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. I used to have my copy on my old system that crashed and I would hate to lose this post - might take me forever to find someone who actually printed it out.

Any assistance you may be able to offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks In Advance,

Michael D.

You misunderstood my previous message. The posts I will be deleting are all available through the new forum. I will be deleting the copies of the posts that are in the format for the old forum software.

Chuck,

Where are the archives that go back to the beginning? They were in a different format before the middle of last year or so. Will they ever be accessable?

Regards,

Rick

I can't seem to locate the archives either Chuck. Am I missing it somewhere?
