Re: the banner ad size which, among other things, is another bit of evidence that size matters, dammit. There would be another code from Google, I think, that creates smaller rectangle.

A general note on things that need to be fixed. 1. So far, I agree with all of these. 2. Most or all--I think--require going through the phpBB documentation and learning which of the phpBB files to edit, how to edit them, and so on. At some point in the last 20 years, I might have substituted a new ...

Friends, I am sorry that the board was disrupted for 3 weeks. The short story is that we had to update the version of phpBB we run here, which was no small task and beyond my competence. We had to hire technicians to do the update. This was funded by one of our members, who has contributed much to t...

On May 16 of this year, this board will have operated for 20 years. Actually, it existed for maybe 2 or 3 years before that, I think, on a different software platform.

Hello, Kids! Long time no see. Tech support at Dreamhost, where this board has been hosted since shortly after WWII, is going to be upgrading the PHP software upon which this ancient and somewhat crumbly board rests.
