Please welcome Trailpal as our new Moderator!

[Mary Ann]

I really want to thank those of you who stepped up recently and volunteered to help with moderation here. I'd already had this one in the works, and when Trailpal agreed, I was so relieved. I don't even want to tell you how long it took for me to find the new button to give her moderator powers, since that had changed with the last update. I really get horses. I really DON'T get computers. *sigh*

So, when you see this board get more interesting, no doubt it's Trailpal you can thank. She won't blow it up like I can. She can change colors, format, pictures, edit, delete, and ban, among other things. First order of business for her will no doubt to change the picture at the top. Our group has reduced here lately, but I prefer to think of it as becoming more distilled; and it's a priority to me to take care of the feelings of the members. I trust Trailpal's judgment completely, and I have no doubt that she will have your confidence too.

Thanks, Trailpal, for helping us out!

[ride4fun]

thanks TrailPal, I should have thought of you myself but it was very spur of the moment on the changing banner pics thread.

[colorless]

Thank You... Wish I had some computer smarts to be able to help, but will sure try to say a HUGE THANKS again .

[Idaho Linda]

Bless the computer gurus! Thanks, Trailpal!

[Frostym]

Thank you, Trailpal. I miss our absent friends but hope they will return soon. Meanwhile we have fun here.

[Trailpal]

Thanks all!

I'm off to look at the banner picture thread for our next banner.

I know it's been asked before but I didn't pay attention to the answer.... how often do we want to update the banner?

Let me know if we want to change anything about the board format (like colors, maybe some other options); I'll see if I can find how to do that if enough people want the change.

[Mary Ann]

The tradition is to update the banner when you feel it needs it.

Sometimes seasons change, and the old pic no longer seems to look like it fits. Or somebody posts a pic that's such a grabber, we can't resist.

Feel free to mess with stuff, Trailpal. Believe me, if it doesn't work for this group, they'll let you know.

[Trailpal]

LOL!

I added a few items to the "news" banner on the first page too...
I've been exploring a bit and looked up help on the support page, so it feels fairly comfortable, even if I might not know ahead of time how to do something, if it can be done, I can probably find out how.

"Global Moderator"!!!
Sounds intimidating

[Mary Ann]

Eh, not really. It's just a description of the tools to which she has access. Which is basically everything *I* have, too. I don't think it's descriptive of her world domination plan. That's something else.

[Trailpal]

Bwahahaha!!
