Some users have noticed that the blog function has been having issues the past several weeks. Specifically, the text formatting and save functions appeared to have been disabled. This came to light after a software update to fix some other minor issues, and all of a sudden it turned into a major issue! Darn gremlins, anyway!
Anyway, this is just to let you know that thanks to the speedy and persistent efforts of the My Blog support staff, the issue has been fixed and you should be able to make blog posts normally.
That said, there may be a minor bug that may pop up from time to time. You may find that on occasion the text edit buttons do not appear in the blog text editing window, but instead a bunch of code appears. If that happens, hit "reload" in your browser, then after the page reloads select "write new entry" or "edit" again and the window will most likely load correctly.
If you should still have problems with the functions, drop the admin a note, either by PM or email or tied to the back of a burro, and he'll have a look. |

MetalBoatbuilding.org was established as a resource for metal boat builders and owners, and those just plain interested in learning more about metal boats. Or any boats, for that matter, since a lot of the information applies no matter what the construction material. We just happen to think steel or aluminum is better, that's all! MetalBoatbuilding.org is a community of metal boat people from around the world, and the community welcomes all similarly interested people to the discussion of metal boats. Watch this section of the site for tidbits of information and news about events and happenings you might find useful. The site is also hosting the newly launched MetalBoatbuilding Forum, moderated by some of the most experienced and knowledgeable folks in the boatbuilding arena. Use the link to the left of the page to navigate there and look through the forums. They will be expanded and more content added as we go along. Feel free to post questions and start the ball rolling! Besides the always informative Forum, you will also find a (soon to be) complete guide to building a metal boat in the Metal Boat Guidebook section. This section is evolving as we speak, due largely to the efforts of Holger, who is building his metal boat in Germany. In addition to the Guidebook, there is now also a new Charts and Tables section. Here you will find, well, charts and tables. They include, or will include, listings of just about everything that goes into building a metal boat, from fasterners to steel and aluminum to welding rod. There are international comparison charts to help users differentiate between specs in different countries and under different systems of measurement. Keep checking back for the latest updates. And don't miss the User Project Blog, where users can post updates on their boatbuilding projects and adventures or misadventures. While you're at it, why not register and post a blog entry of your own? |

Hi Everyone! Your metalboatbuilding.org admin team has been busy with site upgrades and generally "tweaking" things here and there to try and make the site as good as can possibly be for you! The latest change has to do with registrations and user logins. Note that users cannot register for the forum directly. Registration can be done at the site front (home) page, i.e., on this page.
Guest users, meaning those who are "browsing" but have not yet registered a username, have "read only" access to the forum at the present time. This means they can browse and read posts but cannot open topics or reply to posts. Registration will enable users to open topics and reply to posts. Registration is free and easy, but must be done from the front (home) page of the site. If you are at the forum index page you can get to the site home page by selecting the "Site Home" button located on the left side of the navigation bar just above the topic listings.
Registering and Logging In Now, when you register a username at MetalBoatbuilding.org, your user details will also be ported over to the forum area, which used to require a separate registration. That was a pain in the old kazoo! NO MORE! Now you can register ONCE and access the site and forum seamlessly! For the time being, you actually have two login options when visiting the online forum. You can login at the site front page as usual, and then when you visit the forum area you will already be logged in there also. When you leave, if you are using a public computer, like at a coffee shop or someplace, please go back to the site front page (Site Home button in the navigation bar of the forum header) and log out from there. That way the browser window will be unavailable to the next user of the public computer. If you have any difficulty logging in or with any other aspects of the site, please drop an email to the admin ("admin at you-know-where") and we'll have a look. Thanks for joining us, and we hope you find the site useful and entertaining (well, as entertaining as working on a metal boat can be), The admin team |
