Well, we have good news. The problems with connections to the mudcat have been solved. Bell Atlantic has finally come thru and given us a good line. As far as the bugs in the cat, they will all be gone by tonight.

ATTENTION: You may all need to reset your cookies for our new configuration. Sorry about that.

We have a new set of new features available very soon. Keep checking back for these new items.

Thanks

hi max! thanks for a great site! when i logged in this morning i found my membership data was gone... no private page, no messages etc. i'll be happy to rejoin if that's the way to fix this, but you may have a bigger problem than just my membership data.

best regards,

pete savage

One more feature. Now threads that you have traced will say "Delete From Tracer" on the main forum page. This serves as a reminder for what you already have traced. Thank RS for this one.

Hi, Again, Max - I had trouble even getting into the forum, so I was unable to reset my cookie. What I had to do was reboot, open Microsoft Internet Explorer and empty the Temporary Internet files folder, and then reboot again before logging on. Not sure why I had all the problems. I e-mailed you the error message you got. Maybe you should post a notice on the Mudcat Home Page to tell people how to solve this problem. Thanks.

I think I got it all fixed up. That was my fault. We need to reset our cookies because the domain name differences. I will post a note when I get it all straight. We're going to be going through some reorganization to further take advantage of membership and cookies. Stay tuned and bare with us.

Hi, Max - when I tried to get to the forum today after logging on at Mudcat.org, I got an error message. I got in after I emptied out my temporary internet files folder, but I'm not sure if that's what did the trick, or if it was something else.

G'day Max,
I'll bare with you if you like, but it's a good thing this is a virtual discussion!

Cheers,
Alan
