Welcome

[Administrator]

It's moving day.

Over the next 48 hours, Divorce Online will launch our new site. Note... there will probably be glitches. :)

Phase one begins now.... an all new He Said... She Said.

This has been a major undertaking and several months in the making. Please know we appreciate those who have stood by DOL and hope you'll continue to support us and hope you'll share the news with others.... We're BACK!

The new site will allow us to make faster updates and bring more articles and information online. The new He Said... She Said will give us the tools we need to continue to provide a safe and pleasant environment and all for better policing of spam and unwelcome posts.

This is the first notice of the re-launch and becausee of the extensive nature of the change, you will be required to re-register. We hope you'll keep your same handle and be respectful of the usernames of others.

As I said, we know there will be glitches. Please be patient. The new He Said.... She Said starts now... the new Divorce Online should be online in approximately 24 hours.

Well this is very cool. But Admin, dear, you might have given us some warning! The shock to my system is just too much! Ok, not really.

Looking forward to seeing all the changes. Thanks for continuing to make improvements.

[ghead1]

this will take a little getting used to! but, oh wow, spell check.

hi ej, moving day?

[SeptMorn]

If I were a smart person, I'd give myself a new identity.

oh and look I can edit my post. Wicked cool. :)

[ghead1]

I had to, my name was too short.

and I'm playing with the signature.

maybe I should go back to work?

[still mamom]

My name was also too short, but it's still me. This is gonna take some getting used to, and I hate change, but I'm sure that I'll appreciate the improvements after I've adjusted. Thanks for all the hard work and dedication, Admin.

[mumsie]

My name was too short as well. I guess it's not a bad thing to update my user name since my life bears little resemblence to the time I first stumbled upon DOL.

It's a little freaky that DOL now looks exactly like another site I visit but like everything else, I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Hi everyone! Happy Friday!

[zirelda]

Mine was ok.

Nice place ya got here Admin.

[ejmuller]

I am exhausted, broke and sore all over. We're almost completely moved but not quite. Still have to get some more stuff from the old place and clean it. And then we have to move all of ArtGuy's stuff here. Sigh... fortunately he doesn't have a ton. But he does have a wicked stereo system! :D

I need a hot bath and some scotch.

[ghead1]

here's hoping the new place has a big bathtub ej, take a hot soak.

[lizzie]

Well, my name wasn't too short.

Cool, huh?

[gypsiLia]

Well, I go away a few days and the place is completely remodeled. My nick name was too short so I had to change it too.

[Booktender]

Well, well, well, congratulations Admin! I'm so glad I could re-register as me and still be myself. So, when do we start blogging? ;-)

Carry on!

[Booktender]

OOOOH! And I'm lucky post #13!!!

[Mark..]

I got my old handle back, sort of! :)

I can see this could lead to lots of 'splainin - how to use all the do-dads.

[Booktender]

Is this fun? NEW TOY! NEW TOY!

[ghead1]

as with any new toy Bookie, I'm having a hard time. I also got as new cell phone for work today (takes pictures and everything!) so I have a lot to learn.

[Mark..]

Me! Me! Me!!!

[iamunique]

This is awesome, thanks Admin for improving the site.

We can insert image, does it mean we can post pictures now??

[OnSolidPath]

Very Cool. Like the color scheme too! Crisp and clear.

[Jigsaw]

Hello. I want to play a game!

[2ndWind]

This brings out the technophobe in me; it's hard to get used to. Wow, I see it has spell check! My name was too short so now it's 2ndWind. Maybe I should have gone with METMET? I guess it's too late now.

[Administrator]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/pakak/MySpace/JPN.jpg

Me! Me! Me!!!

And now, the last. Sorry. ;)

[Jigsaw]

Why am I a junior member?

[Mark..]

I was wondering why that option had been left turned on. LOL

There could have been some real interesting shots put up if you hadn't been around. hmmm ...

[Nodramaplz]

Way cool ADMIN!

It's lexi, but I needed a new "attitude"

So,...No drama please:))

[stillmomofonegrtgirl]

Oh my goodness..I don't know if I can handle this much change all at once...does anyone remember me..I had to change my name... :(

[jazzy]

I like it!!! Have a great weekend everyone

jazzy

[poolman]

Well if I can do it anyone can. :)

[stillmomofonegrtgirl]

allright...I am slowly adjusting...

[cherryblossom]

The new site looks very cool! :)

[magic-cat]

I get my old name back! I get my old name back!!! :)

Now, will someone please make the room stop spinning? I don't know if I can adjust to the new format.

[radar2]

This is alot like some other forums that I frequent... Look at you, Magical Cat has returned! :)

[magic-cat]

This is crazy. How am I ever going to recognize some of you?

lexi, I absolutely demand you return to being lexi! And jigsaw, I have absolutely no idea who you are. And... Who am I missing?

[magic-cat]

Radar, even you've come back! It took the miracle of a new web design, but you're returned! :)

And look at this, just look at this... I mean LOOK at this! We can play with the font a little bit. (There's even a spell check in case no one noticed)

[cindylou]

Wow - one needs a bit of warning after (gasp) over 10 years of the same format! Though this is more in the modern world of websites!

[radar2]

I thought you meant me... I like to be nosy! :)

[outtahere]

Ok how to do look at old posts. I was tracking my thread and now its gone :(

[magic-cat]

There's also an edit button. ;)

I'm also adding the people I love to my "buddy" list -- yes, you know who you are. And for those I love very much, I'm giving you a "reputation" point immediately.

No, no, don't thank me. I'm in a generous mood.

[magic-cat]

That's a good question. Lots and lots of threads are gone now. You might want to contact Admin if you can't figure out what they've done with them.

[radar2]

We all start as Junior Members and advance through the ranks - the more you post the faster your rank goes up... if this works like the others I frequent that look and act like this one!

[magic-cat]

here's hoping the new place has a big bathtub ej, take a hot soak.

Here's hoping the place has a big bathtub full of scotch.

[magic-cat]

If this is the case, I should be in the "Excalibur Members White Platinum Elite" within about 2 weeks. Maybe sooner if real life doesn't interfere.

Now, will someone explain what a "Public Group" is?

[radar2]

Indeed, you shall be elite! And, I think that little green square under the name and the location, etc. either changes or gets added to...

Groups. I've not had experience 'groups' -- but I presume we are all in the public group! :cool:

[magic-cat]

I wonder if that means there will be "private groups", then "private sub-groups", as well as "public macro-groups", and at the highest level a division of Republican or Democrat?

I'd like to announce my candidacy for president of the newest public group, "The Cat Came Back!", a private sub-group/public macro-group/intellectual micro-cosm wholly unpolitical segment of our litle population.

[Nodramaplz]

Hey, we made it!

[Nodramaplz]

Magic cat is best !

[dollygirl]

This is all very cool. I hope I can figure it all out.

[Phoebe]

Wow, cool!! This takes some getting used to.

[ghead1]

hey dollygirl! how are you?

M-C, (wow, it's wierd. I only lurked when you were m-c, and only have ever addressed you as gata... well, and your highness) I want to be in a group! How is it done?

Guess I could post a pic of my dogs... <JK>

[Theo!]

Dammit! All these years without ever having to change my login name only to get screwed by the five-character minimum!

Ah well...what're ya gonna do? So from now on I'm Theo!.

[Phoebe]

Cool.. very cool...

[carolynjune]

YIKES...I am not sure I like this vey much

[Theo!]

Oh, and kudos on a less feminine design. I think the other one raised a few eyebrows from passers-by in the office on occasion.

[cherryblossom]

Of course we remember you, mom. It's all good, don't worry. You can handle this. ;)

[realmom]

This is really weird and different.... progress progress lol

better set up for a great site

[Tuffy]

good morning everyone.

This is alot like my other message board I go to BUT not as fun. There are no smiles, no fancy colors that I can see and I can't make my letters glow. Oh well, there is spell check so that is cool.

Oh well. I lied...I found the smiles:D :eek: :rolleyes:

Not many but enough to make me happy.

Now we need a monkeybut smilie and tye dye one. :cool:

Geez we are limited to 4 smilies and I over extended. I'm so bad.

[Red-one]

hey .. I am still Red-one, administration sure kicked this up a couple notches huh?

[4Wardmarch]

Why am I a junior member?

I am very happy to be a junior member. Yesterday a co-worker said, "Good morning, ma'am" to me. :mad:

[Red-one]

best of luck in your new home ej,

[poolman]

I think the site is pretty cool

[Booktender]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/pakak/MySpace/JPN.jpg

Me! Me! Me!!!

Showoff

(mandatory 10 char)

[Booktender]

Just as well <sigh>

[Ms-Moosenew]

Talk about a shock! I had to click on the link 3 times before I believed I was in the right place!:cool:

[Booktender]

ooooh pwetty. It's spring!

[Booktender]

The new look suits you

[Booktender]

It could grow on you. Just breath deeply and the dizziness could go away.

[Booktender]

I kinda miss old burgundy and grey. And whatever it was before. And before that.

[BriarRose]

Well! Ok so I had to go to another server to get a screen I could navigate. I have not taken the time to check to see if we can browse without signing in which is a feature I liked.

Profiles? Are you SURE this is not match.com? For the record I like long walks on the beach and puppies oh and I am comfortable in jeans or black tie.

[magic-cat]

Dammit! All these years without ever having to change my login name only to get screwed by the five-character minimum!

Ah well...what're ya gonna do? So from now on I'm Theo!.

I don't know quite how to break this to you, but you've always been "Theo!"

[Nodramaplz]

lol,..it's ok Theo. It's cool.

There's no light at the end of this freezing cold weather for a while UCK! It's awful up here (doI keep saying that?) SOOOOO cold today -37,...we all have cabin fever.

Whaw, I want out to warmer climate.

[Sand Bag]

Well this is a whole new learning to do. Can we underline and italicise?.How about spell check?

[steamy]

This so cool! I'm going with steamy cause I got a new haircut and hot flashes to boot! I can't wait to come back later today and figure it all out!

Steamy

[ghead1]

Is anyone else having trouble using the "quick post" feature? When I try to use it, it says I'm not logged in. Jst now had to log in 3 times to post to the other thread.

I sent a msg to admin yesterday, but didn't recognize at that time that it was the result of trying to post.

If you're getting knocked of, it might be an issue with a local setting. Not to get fresh with you, but have you checked your cookies? :o

I like the "roll eyes" one best, I think. Probably gonna use that one a lot!

FYI, I just found out that we are limited to 4 in post.

Happy Saturday DOL!

[ejmuller]

Thanks Red! Hope all is good with you. Miss talking to you on AOL.

[moogg]

Congrats on the new step, EJ!

[ghead1]

I will ask someone to help with teh cookie issue, thanks admin! I can make it work, but I never know how.

it just happened again, this is my second try.

I believe this is why I am usually on our software development and testing teams... if it can be broken, I'm your gal!

[Nodramaplz]

Syeamy,...I bet1 I need a new pic steamer.

Great about your move ej !

Me too ghead.

I still can't fugure out everything...hoping to go back to "dys" lexi lol

[aires24]

Finally able to get on and post!! For some reason my e-mail account was getting hung up and I couldn't get my activation e-mail, but Admin took care of things as usual.

Love the new look and what one can do. It's similar to a few other forums I belong to!

Great job Admin! :D

[gypsiLia]

The margins this morning seem way off, on some I have to scroll quite a bit to the right to be able to read threads. Did the DivorceWrite image at the top right hand corner of the screen have any thing to do with that?

[Andrea]

The site looks great. Thanks Admin

[2ndWind]

"The margins this morning seem way off, on some I have to scroll quite a bit to the right to be able to read threads. Did the DivorceWrite image at the top right hand corner of the screen have any thing to do with that?"

Me, too! I thought it was my computer.

[Bluefish]

I need to report that NOBODY won the $267,000,000 megajillions. It's up to $340,000,000 divorce-proof jillions now. So close, yet so far.

Well I did it already....

[carolynjune]

how does one become a Senior Member?

[Booktender]

You have to be here long enough to qualify for an AARP card.

[Bluefish]

Just wondering---what are reputation points and how does one get them or lose them?

[Bluefish]

Maybe Himself can be mde responsible for handing out reputation points? He's already good at that.

[Lightnbug]

I just got here. Do I need to sign-in every time I post? Is there a thread I should read first? Am I the only one confused?:cool:

[Lightnbug]

What in the world?

[Bluefish]

LB, I'm still not up to speed fully on navigating.

I want radar2 looking over my shoulder. Wait--better not waste a marker (helped her move a coupla boxes once). With her fantastic memory (take my word for it) I'd like to meet up with her in Las Vegas next month.

[Lightnbug]

It's gonna' take me a while to get used to all these bells and whistles. This is cool! Oh, look. A spell checker.

[aires24]

Just wondering---what are reputation points and how does one get them or lose them?

From other sites I belong to, rep points are awarded when you feel someone has given good information, says something funny, stuff like that. People get rep points when they do good things!

And you get a rep for asking! :D

[aires24]

I just got here. Do I need to sign-in every time I post? Is there a thread I should read first? Am I the only one confused?:cool:

Select the "remember me" when you sign in and it should keep you logged in. My computer does anyway.

[Southernbelle]

Thought I would check in to see how everyone is handling the change. Looks like your're doing great. I haven't had the time to figure out all the toys on this site yet. Hope all is well in your worlds. :D

[Lightnbug]

Thank you! I'm trying that this morning.

I printed out all the FAQ pages--I do better with hard copies.

[katykat]

I wonder if that means there will be "private groups", then "private sub-groups", as well as "public macro-groups", and at the highest level a division of Republican or Democrat?

I'd like to announce my candidacy for president of the newest public group, "The Cat Came Back!", a private sub-group/public macro-group/intellectual micro-cosm wholly unpolitical segment of our litle population.


I will assume that I am a member of that group!:confused:

[radar2]

With her fantastic memory (take my word for it) I'd like to meet up with her in Las Vegas next month.

Unfortunately, Blue, finances being what they are, unless I win the Mega-Millions tonight, I won't be able to go to Vegas. :(

[radar2]

how does one become a Senior Member?

Keep posting and posting and posting. I don't remember the numbers, but every time you hit a certain number of posts, you are upgraded. We all start Junior. The members that post the most get higher rankings. The faster/more you post, the faster/higher your member rank goes.

[Booktender]

Hope all is well in your worlds. :D

Well...here on planet Crayfish...

[mumsie]

I'm thrilled to see the new format has brought some old friends out of hiding and posting again. <waving to everyone>

[willowtree]

Yahoo! Thought I was a goner for awhile, but the activiation email went to my spam folder....

I'm all freaked out by this new format. Ch-ch-ch-changes....

[willowtree]

"Junior Member"...

Hmmmmffffffff!

[zuzuzu]

willow, I thought the same thing about "junior member"! I've been around since 1996 or 1997.... but it's better than being invited into the AARP DOL equivalent, right?? ; )

[pbj12]

I'm sorta liking being a Junior Member. Makes me feel young! :-)

[aires24]

willow, I thought the same thing about "junior member"! I've been around since 1996 or 1997.... but it's better than being invited into the AARP DOL equivalent, right?? ; )

Ditto that. I've been a member since June 1998 and it would be nice to have that updated. Maybe one day Admin will get around to that when he's not too busy. I think it's important to have the correct join date only so new members know they are dealing with people who have been through this, etc.

Just an FYI, we're going to stay in cruise mode for a little while... but in due time, posts made in the Off Topic section will not be credited to your individual users post count.

Barring any misuse of the Off Topic board it is our intention to keep it. But we prefer HSSS to be a substantive resource for divorce related discussions.

[Optimist]

...in a while!

Wow. Go away for a couple of months and look what happens! This format is fine. Thanks for "saving" my handle!

PS - Hiya, all you JUNIOR old timers!

Not gonna happen. Had we been able to manage that, we'd have been able to transfer registrations. Furthermore, the old HSSS board had nearly 7500 previous registered users. Of course, several thousand of those could be attributed to 5 users. :cool:

Seriously, though... there is not intention of messing around trying to update user rank or the names associated with them.

[nyyankeefan]

Okay - just testing to see if I did this whole registration thing right. I don't post that much anymore....usually just to come on and brag about the most recent Yankee win over those has-been Red Sox players who keep defecting to the better team(s)!!!

Hope all is well with with my favorite Bahhhhston friends!!

[Bluefish]

Hey, hey NYYF!!

The Yanks don't get all the glory! The Os beat the jillion-dollar Matsuzuka Sawx guy yesterday. Apparently the Os still thought the Japanese guy's alleged corkscrew ball (or whatever it was) was pretty impressive.

Spring training standings really mean very little, but it's good to see the Os in second right behind the Yankees, a half game behind. Maybe....just maybe...
