Margie and/or Joel,

Good summary of the new features, Thank You. I have one question. What EXACTALLY is this new “Spam” feature? Also (sorry guess this is a second question)…What does this site consider as “inappropriate material”? Just want to have a clear understanding of the rules here and not inadvertently post something that a “computer program” might misconstrue as being offensive when the actual intent was completely innocent. Being a programmer myself I know that “computers” can be quite literal at times, so would like to know what the “parameters” are that would cause the “system” to automatically flag a post for content.

Thanks in advance for your answer,

MARVELOUS!  You folks do such a great job of listening to your 'audience' and responding!  I haven't absorbed all you said, but I will over time.

I do have one head scratcher!  With the new design, the message content has shifted about '3 letters' to the left.  I can still read but kind of weird.

Do you think it's screen resolution??

I agree with Oldman, It might be nice to know what the program might consider as inappropriate and offensive.  Hmmmm....just realized that if you tried to "spell" them out for us, the programme probably wouldn't let it be posted, right!!  Oh, well, please give us the best idea that you can.

 Thanks, again, for all your hard work and the site looks and feels great!

HeyOldman and LindaB

I don't know exactly how the program works yet, it's a new system and I don't have the key words that trigger it but i am sure that some of the words will be obvious to most, other words, not so much :-) You're right Linda, even if I had the list, I would not be able to post it.

I do know that if 3 people flag a post that it will be automatically removed from the system but that is all I really know for sure. I believe that you get an automated letter but I don't know how that works either. I'm not sure if we get the letter as proof or if the players get the letters.

Sorry, i couldn't be of any help. My best advice is that if you see something deleted, please do not post it again.  Thanks, Margie B

Hi pbelle, I'm not exactly sure what you mean but you may want to clear your browser history and cache. You can also click on "CTRL" and "F5" to clear the problem up. let me know if that helps.

Great job, thank you for the improvements.  I'm not sure if I'm the only one experiencing this but I see the messages off the borders of the message boxes. Just FYI

Well, most of the changes are great.

I preferred just going straight to the Members Lounge, or wherever. Now I have to look at the list, find a post from there, and then go to the lounge. Am I missing something?

Very nice remodeling job though!
