Sniff sniff.. my journal.. where is my journal?? sniff sniff :-(

I was able to get to my journal by using Sunshine's link in her signature (Thanks! ) Scroll up a couple of messages to see her post. Of course, I would like to get there a little easier so hopefully they will fix that soon.

*Josette runs through LBT screaming hysterically!!! WAIT... I gotta calm down! Change is hard to deal with but it'll be good in the long run. It'll all be ok People! If we have to relearn how to do some things or put up with errors for a few days, so be it! None of us are paying for this wonderful website. Hang in there. Alex is working to make it bigger and better for us all!

Thanks Alex! I LOVE the new colors!!!

Mine is still broken too. When I post it gives me the can't find page error, the same error when I try to open a thread in anyway other than directly clicking on the thread. All the skips to places, like view first unread or clicking to view a response to a thread, give me the error.

I couldn't access lbt this morning from home. kept getting this page is unavailable on every link that i clicked. Luckily i am @ work now and can access it but some of the pages still are not working

I like the changes, and I can totally understand the need for ads.

What bothers me is the Teal text on the lighter teal background is killing my eyes. It is way too hard to read.

Either black text or a white background should solve the problem. Pretty please.

I like the new colors, but when I click on the arrow that used to take me to unread messages in a thread, I get an error page.

I like the old forum. I keep getting error messages.

Patience my dear LBT users We're actively working on the forums. Just keep me updated with any issues you're having.

If there is any way to change the color(s) back to black and white - the green/teal is icky. Also, can we 'x' out the ads on the right?

We're going to have an option for LBT users to select different "skins." Hopefully we'll have enough options so we can make everyone happy.

The advertisements on the right have to stay for now but we're looking into options to limit them to a degree for registered members. I've been paying for LBT out of my own pocket the last few years and we've grown quite a bit. All this costs money and I don't want to ever ask any of our users for $$$. Allowing advertisers on the site will allow us to grow and add new and useful features to the site. Over the next few weeks we'll be adding new options and making changes. I hope everyone will be happy when we're done! I'm going to try my hardest to make sure that there's as little downtime on the site as possible.

Although I was thinking nasty thoughts in my head last night and this morning when things were not working in here.. I just want to say thank you, thank you.. THANK YOU for keeping this site online. It's been soooooooo awesome in it's information and support. It's one of the best resources for us bandsters!!! I don't mind the ads at all if it will help keep this site online.

Ditto! Thanks so much, Alex, for your hard work and your $$$ to keep the site running. The ads are definitely worth having the site up and going--I'm glad you found an alternative to self-pay. Now, if we could just do that for the band!

I love the new look, but I do miss having the newly updated posts at the top of the main page. Now, I have to go to "New Posts" and then go back to the main page, refresh it, and then go back to "New Posts" to get that page to show the newest posts.

Hi Alex,

Those of us older LBT members can testify that we've always squirmed at changes you've made in the past. Through time, we've adjusted.

The ad's on the right do not bother me. If these ad's are the reason that we can continue using this site for free, then so be it!
