Hey all, Monica's tech friend here to let you know that PAO needs some important software updates that may result in a tiny bit of downtime today. With a bit of good luck, it'll all be done and sorted by this evening. I'll update if it's going to take any longer. This should not affect anything ...

Okay, so I discovered something was goofy with some back end settings that I think was tripping the site out. Fixes have been made and I seem to be able to post new topics and attach images as it should be now - please feel free to let Monica or myself know if you're still having issues! edit: You ...

Just weighing in here.. I love both banners, but I'd be happier if it were put to a vote for one or the other to keep until spring. It's not terribly time-consuming to switch banners, but I don't really want to get into the habit of switching them around every few weeks. I'm truly grateful for ...

Let me first say that I'd be proud to showcase either Rachelle's or Pam's banner for fall (if there have been other submissions that I overlooked, please bring them to my attention). But for anyone who is feeling intimidated about creating something digi - let me remind you that our winter banner ...

Just a suggestion - but it's probably a good idea for the LFB and card swaps to get their own thread now, so that people can bookmark/subscribe/whatever to those topics.

This is beautiful! Both versions, actually. The only thing I would request would be that it be a bit shorter. I can shrink it in all directions so the scale is maintained, but for some users, that size might take up a substantial portion of their browser space. The current banner is 650x109 px ...

I figured after a single post that went 14 pages, it might be a good idea to give these ladies a place of their own to split up the posts. :-) I moved the original topic to this new forum, though with it being the first time I've ever moved anything, I'd like someone to PM me if you can no longer ...

E-mail just received from our host - I don't think we're generally too busy during the time they are scheduling this, but I wanted to make everyone aware of the outage. ------------------------------------- Dear Bluehost user, As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our services, to upkeep our ...
