It is great that the board is operating again and thanks to Ramsey Co. for the restore and for continuing to provide this forum.

Some things appear to have changed. One is the URL. My old bookmark no longer works and I found the new one from the Ramsey home page. I emailed the webmaster about this since perhaps others still think the board is down if they are using an old bookmark. Not certain about this but I and at least one other member had this experience. So, if you have PM with other posters, maybe you could alert them to this.

Second, you might want to check your user profile by clicking on you user name. It appears that some of the "private" information is now defaulted to "public". You can change it back if you want.

Also, my user name has reverted from Neil 8Z back to my original signup name of radio8z and it doesn't appear that I can change this. It is not a problem for me but you might not find your username to be what you expect so I thought this was worth a mention.

Anyway, good to be back here.

Neil

Hi Neil,

A few things did change with the new forum but you nailed most of the differences with your post. This new software doesn't doesn't allow for 2 names (a login name and a display name) so when we upgraded we used the old login names when we imported all the members. If you'd like to change your username to something different just let me know (http://www.ramseyelectronics.com/forum/sendmessage.php) and I can change it for you.

I also just setup a redirect from the old forum url to the new one so that issue should be all set as well.

If you have any other questions about the new board feel free to post them here.
