Just a reminder. For all posting on this thread as it is a tender subject.

Sometimes the typed words come across as harsh when they may not have been meant that way.
While one may be just being silly or trying to inject humor - another may read it as sarcasm or anger.

This thread began as an informational thread for ANYONE who might need it.

Let's get it back on track please. If you have taken personal offense to something someone has said to this point, please send a PM either to that person or to a mod/admin in the form of a complaint. There is some going back and forth that would be better served in PM for the other members contributing.

Again, there are members here who frequent both sites. Let's respect that and keep responses supportive to all.

From this point, let's contribute to the original topic to avoid upset with supportive responses. Also, from this point, if a response isn't supportive to all I won't hesitate to edit responses and send the member a PM...something I would prefer not to do.

Back to the original topic...

I'm glad BT is up for those who need, use and depend on it. I have concerns regarding the site due to the many problems and hope they're resolved soon in a lasting way....for the members.

I should clarify...

My post was not meant to any one particular member who has posted to this thread, but to any (recent posters to it and not) considering posting as reading it might about some strong feelings.

We just need to get it back to topic to avoid more difficult, hurt, and potential defensiveness.

If you want to respond to personal comments made, PM is a great avenue for that.

Thanks,

KD

Thanks KD! Yup, it's back up and even I, with my steam-powered computer can get it. So...as you were, men.

I just had to mention this, ... ..I just looked at a thread there (BT) and nearly fell off my chair laughing - at the top of the page, under that flower border is a huge full-width google ad for...yes!...
NeuroTalk Communities.
-----> wiping away the tears ...so...so much for the ******s in place of NT links (yes, that was me, not the censor).

Anyway, glad people can log in and load there now, and I see the captain has finally boarded his boat. Maybe the ship will sail again....

all the best.
