So you get a few new topics here per day...

...all with the same stuff. I shall be no different. I am a new member, however I have been visiting the site for a long time. When the board had the red and grey appearance. I decided to sign up because most message/discussion boards look down on new members, unlike this board. So I may as well join in the posting rather than keep my comments and opinions to myself.

Hi ixnay, Welcome to the Board!! Yea have been a lot of interesting topics lately and a few interesting debates as well as you've probably already seen lol.

Hello ixnay,

Hope you will enjoy the stuff on this board.
Even if some topics have the same stuff sometimes, some can complete others...

WELCOME!!! Keep your head down and your brain *on*

there's alot of nutty people here but they are all GOOD people!


PEACE...

Welcome to ATS. Enjoy your time here.

that Springer mentioned.

Welcome ixnay, I too have been on the sidelines untill recently. Glad to have you on board.

I don't know if you need to be told this again, but I read all the guidelines and features and was amazed and the wonderful ideas this board has picked up on. Through general browsing I never noticed the ATS store and the general way this board runs is quite unique. You have to actually earn privileges and I am amazed at how incorporated moderators are to the workings of the board, and the interest of its members.

I'm not one to post a great deal, but I am most likely going to enjoy my stay here. I'd love to see how much further this board could progress.

progression goes alot further with members who actually post..so if you really want to be a part of the achievements and future improvements, instead of just someone who *watches* on the sidelines, then post..post..post and post your earnest thoughts/opinions. Trust me, we are interested!

(course compliments are always a plus)

For the first time in a lunar eclipse I will let the above poster magestica with the waterfall in her hair speak for me. In respect of ixnay from Sydney.

sorry, I tried to post this a few days ago, but I had some login troubles. They were very weird.

I'd come to the site, not be logged in. If I tried to login, it'd take me back to the front page not logged in. However, if I clicked a forum it would say I'm logged in. Then if I clicked a thread or went back to the main page, I'd be logged out.

I tried disabling my firewall, I enabled all cookies on weakest security, I placed this site on my Accept list for cookies on both Internet Explorer and my Firewall.

Anyway, I'm not here to make hard work for the administrator/moderators as it's obviously a problem with my PC. I can log in for the duration of the day by going to the main page, clicking belowtopsecret.com tab, then click abovetopsecret.com tab.

What I wanted to ask is, do many people have problems with bumping an old old topic to ask a question about it? Or is it seen as better to create a new topic and ask the question in that? And I really am not interested in trying to earn points. I'd prefer to bump, but wanted to make sure that was seen as perfectly acceptable.

Thanks.

Personally, I'd suggest creating it as a new topic... Explain that you know of the other topic's existance, but you wanted a fresh take on it (that way, we don't open it up to misinterpretation with all of the old postings on it...) You may even want to provide a link to the old topic for reference.... I have no problem with rehashing a topic to find a new perspective or two....

oh, and welcome!

ok, thank you. the slightest re-assurance can go a long way.

I should really get a signature so my final line of the post does not blend into the site.
