  upon due consideration, the media request of applicant abc news to make a video recording of oral argument in the above-referenced appeal is granted.

  Thanks ABibleStudent !

  
  

  It might be worth taking a morning off work to go do a little herpetology.

  Site issues: Dec 30 Update

  first of all, some apologies - i had planned to spend the last couple of days getting everyone signed in to the new site and sorting account issues out but i wasn't getting over the flu as i thought, i got worse.

  i've probably had 4 hours sleep in the last few days.

  anything that requires too much thinking isn't going to happen right now.

  I think Simon's just doing his part to discourage any more people moving to the Great White North!

  : )

  
  

  Take care of yourself Simon.

  Thanks, neverendingjourney,, for that tour down JW crazy-think memory lane.

  
  

  And thanks to TTATTElder for doing the picture testing.  I'm using Firefox and unable to post pix from my hard drive.  Maybe I'll give Chrome a whirl.

  Just bumping this for today's crowd.

  
  

  Has anyone been able to successfully post a picture from their hard drive directly to this site without going through a service like PhotoBucket?

  Yep. This worked.

  
  

  I'm using Firefox and trying to copy a photo from my hard drive. The site goes into an iterminable "upload".
  

  
  

  Any suggestions?

  here's the current status:.

  performance improvements have been made to make things slicker.. the "remember me" issue should now be fixed.. sign-in captcha can be affected by ad-blockers so consider disabling those.. sign-in email is case-sensitive - until i update this consider using your forum username instead.. ie stalls on "queued for processing" when posting a topic or reply but the post has been made (just navigate to active or refresh the topic if replying).. i will be working through issues today and contacting anyone who had sign-in issues to check if they still have problems.. many thanks again for your patience while we work through these teething problems..

  Hi Simon. 

  
  First off, thank you so much for maintaining this site over the years.  It was an absolute mental lifeline for me when my JW blinders were first coming off. 

  
  

  I have a few questions about the new site format. If you've already done an FAQ thread for it, please point me in that direction.

  
  If not, here goes:

  1.   Are the Public vs. Private sections of the site a thing of the past?

  
  2.  I've noticed in poking around at various threads that a lot of the images seem to be gone.  Was that intentional? Example: moshe started a thread about a caption contest for some picture that had something to do with OUTLAW.  From the replies, the picture must have included a bear, but the picture isn't visible anymore.

  
  3. Is there any simple way to see more Threads per page?

  
  

  4.  Is there any way to see the exact date a thread was started?  Eg: I posted a thread the first day my wife openly started looking at anti-JW sites on the internet.  It's been a bit of a personal diary for me, but now all I can see is "Posted 5 years ago".

  Thanks again Simon for all your hard work here. 

  
  All the best to you and Angharad in 2015!

  missing a lot of the oldies and goodies -- is this site so new, no one has signed on yet?

  i am confused... but then, i will have to wait and see what happens.. somehow - change is not the best option but we adjust..have most of the users gone to other locations?.
