    Sweet, somebody noticed :) I'll add water cooler today in between classes. Also check out As the Wheels Turn (my sig or link in bottom right) for info on the new look and such.

    Went to sleep around 2am. :) Can't remember what time I did the switch but finished the night learning how to cache database queries with PEAR. I used it on the thanked members page (see footer). Should help speed up the site 0.03%!! :lol: Caching queries will help the upcoming injured list page also.

    0.03% is actually a wild guess . . . not sure how much it helps but it does help.

    Thanks for constantly improving the website George. I see there's a drop down now for starting new discussions. I like this feature. My name on the right column doesn't line up correctly though. The words overlap between the spacing. Dunno if anyone else is experiencing this.

    Great Job!

    Glad you like it :). Can you send me a screenshot of the name thing? (webmaster AT socaltrailriders.org) I probably don't see it because I have a shorter name.

    George, this is a sweet-running site, and I really appreciate it.

    I also just ran into this, which I haven't seen on other BB's before: "Automerged Doublepost" Very nice feature!

    :clap:

    You probably weren't logged in. The homepage changes in a few ways when a person logs in. :)
