not sure where to post this. When I logged on this afternoon, the front page looked different. Up to this point, when I would log on, In the upper right corner, there would be an item saying something like '..Unread Posts..'. Click on it, and anything new would show up from any forum. It's not there today. Anybody have any idea what has happened?

I would like to know as well. I rarely go to a specific forum, but rather browse the new unread posts.

You can find the "New Posts" under the quick links until/if they put it back.

I've got a big banner ad at the top saying I have a 2 week notice to renew on my subscription to cast boolits. I never paid anything when I joined. I thought this site was free except for team boolit members and vendors.

I saw the banner also about the subscription. I logged out and went back to the site and its still there so i think itsbs glitch. I pm'd about it. I gave when the fund drive was on but if it is turning into a pay site i guess ill have to go elsewhere.

Yeah, that's what I thought, but, my memory isn't what it used to be. I do remember making a donation for site maintenance, but that was all. However, when I logged back in just now, the front page seems to be back to normal. mikey

By now, most, if not all of us should be aware that site changes are taking place! Maybe we should all be a bit patient and not be too quick to jump on every little glitch that pops up? In the last few days there have been several threads of this ilk started and each time someone had to take time to tell us the problem was being addressed. Every time one of us makes an issue of something, the powers that be have to take time to reply or those threads seem prone to "bust the angst meter". Time replying to threads that, while they contain legitimate concerns, are most likely to be "in process" means less time the overworked folks at the top have to spend actually fixing the glitches.

Not so much "angst" about the site as "angst" about my outdated computer. By now I should know more about how computers react to various conditions but I still am suspicious of everything that changes.

I dread having to buy a new system.

Hummm,
well Jon we all have different interest with how we use our free-time but, look at this way how much would you spend in a years time on Mag's and books ?I'm more inclined to pay for a membership then another book on casting, this site provides much more than a book would ever be able to provide. I've not found another site that gives this type of information:lovebooli

just another thought a paid membership might help with keeping out the trolls too, something to think about.8-)

It wasn't long after I stated reading the stickies on this site I figured it was worth the team boolits donation. I would hate to lose any members over charging for use, however there is no free lunch. My low end membership to team boolits is less than $1 a month. Come on jonp a Big Gulp soda is $.99.
