To the moderator

Looks like there is already an Ol' Smokey on here. I posted my first thread this morning and it hasn't showed up. How do I re-do my username? Thanks, Gary mtpickett@rockisland.com

Reason it has not shown up is bacause with low post count we have to approve posts. This les us get rid of spammers without the thread showing up. Give us a few hours to sort through it.

I could be OLD Smokey. At 60 in May, I think I qualify. Oh, and that isn't the avatar I picked. It was a picture of Barney Rubble. (my look alike)

I am sure the rest of us can cope with 2 Ol' Smokey's ! You could also try
0l' Smokey.
Interestingly it sounds like we are going to have 2 good guys with very similar names.

Try a fresh post in DD, I will monitor to assure it is working correctly.

As to Barney, you can use a custom avatar..
