Thanks Artist for the reply.
I just tried again about 10 minutes ago. Still no luck. It says I am using an invalid password or user name. I did contact JL with my problem to no avail as of yet. I have been reading the FFs also. I even PMd someone on here to contact JL on my behalf. I feel like giving up since it is so frustrating, but I want to see if I can contact some members of the old forum in case they rejoin. There are some very helpful people I have had the pleasure to meet there and I don't want to lose them forever. Regards, Lil

Lil - just had an idea. ZombieSlayer's our mod. Why not PM him - he's listed on the other forum too and was there right from the get up.
good luck, atb.

Artist: I finally got through after 12 hours. When I registered this morning, I check the members list to see if I was added. I was and all was OK. When I looked at it late tonight I saw that the d in Diamond was no longer there. I remember JL stated that he was going to add the members manually today. It seems that the d somehow got sucked into a black hole in outerspace. Something like that could only happen to me. I hope JL is able to fix my username. Diamon Lil just looks weird.
Thanks for your suggestions. It was really kind of you to offer help.

Regards, Diamond LIl

Diamon Lil!! Hahahahah! - not quite the same, is it? We should start inspecting the membership lists for funny names, what a good game
all the best.

Artist: I have had that nickname for 45 years. My brother gave it to me and I called him Tut as in King Tut. By the way, Diamond Lil is the name of a certain lady of the 1890's who lived life unemcumbered by Victorian morals. It is a play was written by Mae West who said "She is me and I am her and we're both the same" if you get my drift. I don't know why he chose that name for me. I was a bookworm type. Maybe because my first name starts with an "L" - it is not Lillian by the way. To this day he calls me Lil and I call him Tut. I wonder how many of us were given nicknames when we were young and still use them. Regards, Lil

PS were you always artistic? I am still trying to draw decent stick men.

From what I've read and been told is that email confirmation is no longer needed and that all folks that were awaiting confirmation were confirmed manually.

Also Mr. Lester said he imported all of the old banned email addresses, so folks using AOL and RR in particular will have problems still.

When I know more I'll pass it around.

ZS - Thanks for the update!
Lil - Yup, got born like this!
