Default A Message From Admin-Problems With The Site

1. Just in case you haven't caught on by reading the numerous duplicated threads listed in this Forum Issues Section...............HDF is having some problems. Some people can't log on and others can't stay logged on. We are aware of the problems and are working on it. Some members have had luck with dumping their cookies and clearing their cache and some have not.

2. Too many adverts on forum.......................If we give you a fix to this (Firefox and Ad Block) and you choose to continue running IE 6 or 7 with no Ad block then don't complain. You say the other sites you are on don't have this problem........maybe they don't have 120,000 members who all have 100 subscribed threads sending out a million and a half emails a day. It does not cost near as much to run a small forum as it does to run the largest HD Forum on the internet. We are also the largest "Free" HD Forum on the internet and taking donations instead of sponsors is not gonna keep it that way. We are privately owned by a large company that is not interested in running a forum that loses money.

Terry,
HDF Admin

While I have shy'ed away from pay for post forums, I think this is the best forum with regards to knowledge and quality of members, I may be wrong, but things being what they are, personnally I would not have a problem forking over a few bucks to keep this place alive, maybe have a poll? BTW, what isw this " eliminate admin rights' gibrerish on the bottom of the page, pardon me, maybe I've just never seen it before, but it seems awkward.

I'm sorry but we don't get to vote on this. This is a privately owned forum and the owners have it to make money. What giberish are you talking about at the bottom of the page?

Don't know if this helps, but I have trouble logging on sometimes. Site dumps me to an error page and I can't get logged in.

I've tried everything cleared out my cookies and cache. I was using firefox. Toastedgoat still can't get logged in.. I was able to create another account so I am now chromedome09 till we can get the toastegoat account back up and running.. I even loaded windows 7 and running IE 8 with blocking. So I am current and ready to go. If we can't get the toastegoat thing figured out I can stay chromedome09

Great forum but I wouldn't pay.

Trying to add " SOLD " to classified thread title; not working.

Did an edit-go advanced save changes. It changes in the body of the post and can be seen when opened, but the actual thread title does not change.

Any thing I missed?

Thanks
