Me? Gripe? Nah, must be my evil twin!

The chip-in is just a replacement for the 'donate' button we used to have before we moved to this software.  I just thought it looked better and allowed us to set goals.

As for the login, I have no idea, unless you have cookies turned off or aren't using the 'remember me' checkbox. I will make sure you don't have more than one session going in the database. If that doesn't work, I am not sure what to tell you. Thanks for letting me know about the issue.

Ads pay the bandwidth bill for a site that you use for free (not to mention the time it takes to administer a CMS system). Try clicking on one just to help out. I hate for this to be my first post.  I'm normally just a lurker.  As someone who works in the industry I've never understood people who get worked up over ads unless they are obtrusive, which these are not (they go away when you login).

Dear Lurker,

I'm not against ads!  I just don't want them to take over the site as has happened elsewhere!  Fortunately, as I mentioned and as you pointed out, those ads disappear after you log in.

I'm not really complaining.  (Oh yeah?  Just what DO you call it, then?  LOL)  I post comments about the things I see and experience here, but not to be a thorn in someone's side!  I post comments so that I can learn about what's happening or how a forum feature works.  I'm never angry about a situation when I post.  If somethings really gets me worked up, I try to let it stew for a while until I cool off.  No sense going off half-cocked based on incorrect or incomplete information (or gossip!).  BTDTGTS  (Been there, done that, got the shirt!)

By the way, occassionally, I WILL click on an ad to visit one of the site sponsors.  Now that we have the "chip in" feature, I'll be using that, too!  Not being an IT/IS specialist, I have no idea how much this stuff costs or how much time is consumed running a site, but I presume the costs in time and money are considerable.

Also, as much as I might post comments of a questioning nature, I fully support Todd and his minions of mercy.  They do an incredible job keeping this site one of the best in the cyberworld!  I couldn't do it myself and I stand in awe of those who can!

Lurker, don't take my comments as offensive; they are not intended to be so.  I didn't take offense at your comment, as I'm sure it wasn't meant to be taken that way.  I'm answering your comment, though, to clarify that I'm not a whiner, just a concerned forum member.

By the way, Lurker, I hope you will post more in the future.

Darrell, (thankfully) quiet...for now

Since what we have here are WRITTEN words, it's impossible to put much inflection on their meanings.  If someone takes offense at something that was written, it's because they WANTED to take offense!  I do my best to read something in a positive manner. 

Back to my original comments:  I'm still getting kicked off and having to log in each time I access the forum.  I'm starting to get used to it.  LOL

The "chip in" ad has disappeared!  Just when I promised to kick in, it goes away!  (Yes, I saw the donation button for Clinton/Bush/New Orleans.  I'll pass on that for now, or at least until I know that the donations aren't being embezzled at the local level!  But that's another topic for a later date.  And a different forum!)

Now, did that sound like I had my sorts all bunched up?  LOL

Darrell, quiet...for now

Not sure what happened! There were a couple of other posts here. The last was by Bryan and I "replied" to it and those two posts vanished along with my "reply"!

Edit: Ah they are back! Strange! I try my post again!
