This is mostly for Melissa, but anyone else can chime in if they want.

There has been lots of speculation, on several of these forums, about how long LUSENET is going to be around. You might want to set up a back up forum, where you could go if LUSENET crashes forever. EZBoard lets you set one up for free. It's more complicated than this format, but not too hard to do, especially if you just go with one of their "canned" themes.

Thanks Joy, I will check into this when I have time. I did mention last time that Lusenet was down that everyone can check in at Countryside Friends picture site. It is on MSN and has a message board. So we can post a message there for now. I will work on the other.

One can be set up on Yahoo also.

If you go to another service, let me recommend two more simple ones (I dislike the big bulky stuff): Server.com and Hosted Scripts. They still have the banner ads, but they're a lot simpler, load faster, and have less distracting formats. No bells and whistles, just service.
