The current message board (the one you’re reading now) will be set to “read-only” Thursday night and the payment for the current board will also expire January 11th.
What does this mean for your day-to-day use of the message board?
1. The new link to the message board is here: https://mb.boardhost.com/lamanzanillainfo
It will also be published in the most recent message on this board.
2. This link will take you to the new message board which you should save in your browser favorites or bookmark to easily find later.
3. You will be able to immediately read messages on the new board, but before you can post a new message or reply to an existing message, you will need to create an account. There are instructions on the new board on how to do this.
4. You will be able to read and search the original board for prior posts but, because it will no longer be funded, there will be pop-up advertisements. While on the topic of funding, the new board is paid up for the next 5 months or so. There is a donation link to extend this time that anyone can contribute to.
5. Once you have an account created on the new board, you will have access to some new features like private messaging between accounts, mini-biographies, signatures and password recovery.
6. On Friday morning, January 12th, I will be in front of The Lab coffee shop to assist anyone who needs assistance setting up their account.
Thanks again to the people who helped test the new message board, Daniel’s sister Diane for her assistance in transferring the ownership, and for all the positive feedback from everyone I’ve spoken with over the past couple months.
Of course we wouldn’t have this resource and archive without Daniel, and he deserves all the credit for over 20 years of moderating and maintaining this on-line community.
