Now I just despise the color scheme, and I'm somewhat peeved at the purging of the member #'s.  

I actually think there are lots of options for other color schemes you can personalize your settings to use.

It's back up and running and I'm slowly getting used to it... my two peeves now are that the thread most recently posted in doesn't go to the top of the page - and the WAP thread that everyone hates refuses to load - it just times out all the time.

About an hour ago I got a message about UBBClassic or something like that.

Sounds like they're working on some more modifications.

My biggest problem with it (besides it being ugly, the constant errors, and the fact that I can't post there at all) would be the lack of information per page.

They show like 9 topics per page - and threads go to the next page after what seem slike a very small number of posts - the WAP thread (your stance on it aside) went from an already outrageous 315 pages to over 1100.

Even with the search tool it's pretty much impossible to navigate.

Although I doubt anything will change, if anyone with access could bring up the problems maybe in the feedback section - I'd appreciate it.

Phillip didn't seemed to be concerned at all by the idea that Norton would keep people from being able to get into the forums.

So no one else is having any Norton-related problems?  

I can view and manuever around the boards just fine - but when I try to post - nothing works.

First off, the bill is sponsored by the Democrats, Representative Charles B Rangel & Sen. Ernest Hollings, *not* George W. Bush.

Nov 8, 2003 - Asked this week if the president is considering reinstituting the draft, press secretary Scott McClellan gave a quick and emphatic answer. "No," he said, moving to the next question.

Bush is not planning on signing a bill which will reinstitute the draft for the War in Iraq.

You're right of course, but the idea of reconstituting the draft is also being strongly advocated by Republican Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska.

Among others.

I believe the democrats are doing pushing for this to make people think twice about the war in Iraq - i.e. if your own son or daughter could be called up and sent off - but I also believe all this talk has the potential to snowbal into a catastrophe if not stopped immediately.

Should we pull our boys out of Iraq?

What do you think?

I wish we could - but I think it's a mistake.  It would just be seen as an abandonment.  What needs to be done is to get the U.N. involved and maybe even NATO to some extent - just to get the whole thing internationalized again - because the 'Coalition of the Willing' is a joke.  

Unfortunately, this would mean admitting that we need the U.N.'s help - which I'm not so sure George Bush is really willing to do.

I started collecting loose 12" about 6 months ago - just buying opened ones at trade shows and new ones if they were on clearance.  I generally try to shoot for 7 to 10 dollars per figure... and focus on OT characters.

I'm up to about 50 or so now.

Pictures coming eventually.

EDIT:  Make that about 65-70
