Earlier today a member made a comment in the forum that I believe was intended to be in "good fun." However, it was insulting to and upset several members of this site. To those members I apologize. I do not intended to, nor do I feel that I should, closely regulate our forums. However, I must ensure that we maintain an environment that encourages others to join and contribute to the community. Members of this site must be respectful of others regardless. Insults, derogatory comments, etc will not be tolerated. Anyone who violates the policy is subject to immediate and permanent banning. Thanks! Casey

All, The updated templates (site look) has caused some issues with the gallery. I am working to restore it's functionality and images. Unfortunately, I don't have a time frame for the fix. In fact, there is the possibility that I will be forced to go back to the old templates to correct it and/or may not be able to restore the images. I realize this is the third time that we have had issues with the gallery, I apologize for that. Please keep in mind that I have no formal training at this stuff and have to learn by trial and error and I have been learning more than I would like by error as of late. If I am unable to restore the images, I will have to ask me…
