Hi Angela. Sure I remember you. Welcome back. You got back just in time to see the site in a brand new way. Jason just moved from one web host to another and that gave the site a slightly different look, but the basics are the same. Lots of little improvements over the other web host. I'm enjoying it. I'm not sure about the links you mentioned since I haven't tried to use any on this new site yet. I'm sure Jason will explain if anything is different about the links. As for the boards, they are still here--this being one of them. Just stick around and I'm sure others will help give you all the information you need to navigate this site and join in all the fun! :)

Welcome back to the site, Angela! Of course I remember you. :) Yes, things have been changing around here lately, but (hopefully) for the better! On Sunday, I completed an enormous task - moving all of WTB?R to a new web host. Believe me, it was no easy job. ;)

I do realize that coming back after awhile and seeing things have changed can be a big jarring...but I hope you'll come to like the new look of the site (which I changed back in April), which includes a new pop-out navigation system (just highlight the various links - Who's the Boss?, Fan Submissions, Multimedia & General Stuff and the menus will open). If your browser doesn't support the new javascript pop-out menu, you can also find a text-based one under the "Welcome!" header on the main site.

I also hope you'll like the new, improved WTB?R Forums, which was just introduced a few days ago. If you have any questions about the new look of the site or the new board, please don't hesitate to ask! :)

Also, if you notice any broken links, please report them to me and I'll fix them asap. No matter how hard I've tried to prevent it from happening, there's bound to be a few broken links here and there, since WTB?R just completed a big move. ;)

koo. i'll definitely take a look around.
understand about the broken links.
I currently have like 3 websites going at once, i get forgetful at times, hehe.

sorry I haven't been around, the movie: A Walk To Remember has gotten a big hold of me, my life has kinda revolved around that for the last 4 months (sad I know)

hmm, this is just something.
the side links werent working so I had to use the text based. I noticed that each time a link if picked, its opened in another new window, maybe it's just me, but it gets annoying at times. I think it would be cooler if you had it open in the same window with each link.

and is there a reason why my posts dont show up after I post them?

The pop-out menu does require a javascript-enabled browser, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape. The text-based menu does open each link in a new window. I did it this way to make the site less bulky. --- If I had each link open in the same window (which would be the menu window), each time you wanted to move to a different part of the site, you'd have to go back a few screens with the "Back" button to find the menu... The way I have it set now, the menu is always there when you need it. :)

Yes, the reason that your posts don't show up right away after you post them is that I currently have "Moderators Queue" turned on, which means that I, or another board moderator, have to monitor each post before it appears on the board. Currently, I have one other moderator working in the background and posts do get approved very quickly most of the time.
