Hey Elise - 0ld (moved 11-2-07)

“The way things have been going lately, they're probably all Closet Republicans.”

“Out of 20+ people in our office, I'd be surprised if there was more than 1 Republican. This is Seattle ... come on ... :)”

“hehe”

“Sounds like you would benefit from having more Republicans.”

“Boy I feel bad for the one smart guy in your office.”

“Hey Splink, I was talking about the photo ---

They look like they're headed to the 'Log Cabin' for Larry's induction ceremony.

(private idaho, indeed)”

“Tilt -- took me a moment, but now I get it ... man ... I just don't have a brain for forums ... too much of a one track mind ... can't follow all the various sub-conversations.

In any case, you're probably right about the photo.”

“Tilt doesn't like gay people.”

“what's wrong with happy people? (quit hijacking my word)”

“hey, they fixed my email problem; YEAH! now ya'll can see my new email address!”

“WOW...such negative waves on a weekend...you guys needed to get away.

I spent the weekend cutting my two acres, trimming trees and then had a relaxing sunday fighting a wild land fire.....”

“Hey Elise or Adam

I've got a young myspace friend back east who says he is trying to set up a trail talk account and not having any luck with that.

He is already on the forums, but I think he'll have more response here and he could use some help and advice.”

“bump”

“Please have your friend email info@thebackpacker.com with the username chosen and email address. I'll lookup password and send it.”

“Is this a problem with the forum or me?

I tried to "embed" a youtube video in a post, the preview looks fine, but when I submit the video is not there.

I'll do it here for a demo.



The html is here, the video is in the preview.”

“and nothing in the post.”

“I looked into the embedded video issue. apparently video is not supported, so the answer is that it's not supposed to work. you could just post the url for the video and you'd still be able to share it.”

“thanks. Interesting that it works in the preview but not in the posted message.”

“How do we get a reminder password? I tried yesterday to create a new account, but never got sent the password. Somethin's broke.”

“CD has trolls!!!!!!”

“Dang, you outed me hyway. No spankings for you!”

“Honestly, is it any wonder they have put us all on ignore?”

“damn it, what do I have to do to get back on the spanking list?”

“Ummmmm, maybe just a write a sequel to your book. hint hint”

“or whoever the frack is in charge, how do i send an email to you guys?”

“I'm in charge. My e-mail is in my profile.”

“they only respond if they have a good answer.”

“And could we have a link to the webmaster somewhere easy to find on the TrailTalk page? It's a b!tch trying to find it when you need it.”

“i think they like being hard to reach”

“Remember what the Little Old Lady said in that hamburger commercial...

Right after she delivered her famous "Where's The Beef?!?" line,  she said,

"I don't think there's anybody back there!"

”

“That's what she said!”

“Meant that for crash's comment, but it works better with Tilt's.”

“Hey elise --


I have something between my teeth.

Any suggestions?”

“yes, stop sucking coc......”

“no problem reaching them - just make a post describing the issue then hit the "report this message" button”

“there's a fun idea.......what would happen if we started to hit "report this message" for evyerything....”

“personnally, I like the hands off attitude of the new regime. Its odd that a group of people who #&%!$ about corporations so much seem to be in an awful hurry to invite them into our lives.”

“I think Matt made it all up. He never sold, Elise is his wife, and that sprocket guy is Matt's troll. He just wanted everyone to stop emailing him everyday. Matt just wants to be left alone!”

“they dont even have their emails in their profiles. god forbid you should need to ask the webmaster a question”

“just make a post describing the issue then hit the "report this message" button”

i did that yesterday. still no answer”

“Yup, me too crash. They hate us.”

“Like I said, I think they got tired of typing "i dunno" the few times they responded.

Post a nekkid babe picture and report it asking "is this OK?"


But please start a new thread for it. Maybe a "Is this OK to post?" thread should be started?”

“i can bring out the pool pic to see if they are still breathing”

“I got a response from Elise a few days ago when I sent an email to get Jon's password. So I know she is around.

Can you even use the "report this message" feature if you are not logged in? Therein lies the problem. If you are not a regular here or familiar with who the webmaster is and are not logged in, it is nearly impossible to try to figure out how to contact them. Almost every other website I have ever been on has a "Contact" link with the pertinent info prominently featured on its pages. It's maddening!

If I wasn't already ensconced in the TT madness, the other night when I was trying to find contact info I would have given up and probably never come back to this board. In fact, the only link I could find that is still posted is to matt@thbackpacker.com. That can't be right.

They better do a little maintenance if they want to continue to get new log-ins.”

“Don't look behind the curtain, you may not like what you see, Dorothy.”

“if you can't remember your password, email us with your id and we can resend it. there's a link in the footer of every page labeled "Contact Us". if you don't like the automatic email popup, send a message using whatever email client you want to the address that shows in the browser status bar when you hover over the link, replacing "antispam" with @”

“what about all of us that registered new users but haven't received our passwords?”

“Thanks for the info. I couldn't get the link to work last week.”
