Please use the search feature Before asking a question.
And if you start by saying"I'm to lazy to search" you stand a good chance we are to lazy to answer.
We are here to try and help each other but please try to help yourself first.

Hummmm...

I feel another oil thread starting any second...

I am not trying to strir up stuff. Just help people get the most out of the board.
I am sure there are few like my self who print everything I can find on 123. Then put them in notebook so I can find the info.

I print it as a .pdf file (Acrobat) and store it on CD.

What happened to the FAQ offer that was made? Looks like he figured out the depth of the task he came up with.

I deleted the thread cause I thought it could be missinterpreted as saying that the powers to be don't do their job well.. or that it might sound like Im butting into their business.

The offer stands. I wont offer to do it FOR THEM. Only offering them the basic knowledge on how to do it and provide guidance. I have done this on two different B.Boards with success. Both use IPop B.Board Software.

Also, if they have used the search they should list the words they searched for....... because sometimes we use different words or spell them differently from someone not familiar with this stuff.
Nice to be able to access the best threads of the past...
Also it is helpful to know if they own any manuals and which ones...

It would be helpful if the title for a thread always reflected the content when asking a technical question. Its much easier to search titles than search through everything.
