I have been completely out of it with family problems and I apologize for not being around, especially for those I was working on projects for. My brother is doing a bit better but for several weeks was literally fighting to keep living. I'll be around a bit more starting this week and more...

So true, 8thos, you should pop out and see what his views on race, religion and civil rights are before anyone anoints him the next coming of the savior of the United States. I liked some of the things he had to say but man he scared me. Crazy Uncle is a great description for him.

That's a really nicely done style.

I don't know if I'd call that effective, I actually find that pretty annoying, in general things that stay static on the screen like that just break design in my eyes.

Where exactly do you want it to show up?

Wouldn't it be easier to set up accounts for them and set up private forums that only those accounts can see? I know that's very easy to do, I do that on my forums.

That is good up until the point where you consistently use the same letter/number/symbol to replace the same letter. Anytime you add ANY point of consistency to a password you increase the likely hood it can be cracked. In that situation a longer password is actually worse because it gives...

Yes alive, but extremely busy. I've got 2 people helping me to test this on private sites and there are a couple small problems. After that I will release it to those that have asked to beta test it here. The problems so far mostly have to do with javascript and load times. I believe I've...
