The site will be unavailable tonight, Saturday 2022-07-30, for about 20-30 minutes starting around 9pm Eastern. There are no changes that will be implemented, just updating a few software items. 💻 - Kevin

There was some unexpected downtime today from sometime after 10:00AM EST to about 11:30AM. Depending on how members connect (which device, which browser, etc.) some folks may have been getting nothing but a blank page while others may have eventually received an error. I know the 'What?' part...

A new forum has been added called "Mods Team Support" that allows you to privately reach all of the whole volunteer Mods Team at once! What it is really is a forum where our members can post new threads that they want the Mods Team to see but not other members. The idea behind it is that...

The ability to leave feedback for other members in regards to transactions in the Buy, Sell, and Trade forum is back! 👍 OK, the details of the sentence above is going to take a little longer to explain. 😆 Community members who have been with us for a few years may remember that Cameraderie...

A few updates and maintenance tasks are starting to get backlogged so this Sunday, July 25, I'll be working on the To Do list. 📋 At the moment I'm planning on starting around 7:00PM EST and expect to take about 6 hours. ⏳

Normally when viewing threads, such as this one, there are no sidebars shown. An option was added so that the sidebars would display or not. The 'default' if no specific choice was made was "Yes" and the sidebars were shown. The default for the option has been reverted to be "No" with no...

During the past 24 hours an automated email address verification process has been running. This is a follow-up to the change from a few months ago when outgoing emails were switched to use Amazon SES services. Email addresses that could not be verified resulted in accounts being flagged the...
