    I was just thinking the same thing. I know he is ok because we email each other occasionally, and I just got one from him a week or so ago. I know his businesses are taking more of his time these days and he has some other stuff going on (good stuff, not bad stuff) Beyond that, not sure why he hasn't been here much. I miss his posts too. I know a few of us were a little put off by the site changes, but not sure if that has anything to do with it...........at least I don't think so.

    It could be, Steve. I'm sending him an email to check on him, and will let him know he is missed on here.

    After Ken posted that he was having trouble finding his old threads and missed the old "More" button I e-mailed him and included links to his build threads, plus step-by-step how-to on getting to them in the forum. Ken appreciated the links, but told me that he did not get the same feeling of chatting with old friends from the new format. He has not been back since, that I have seen.

    No, I agree, it's ok but doesn't compare somehow to the way it felt before. I considered not coming on any more but am learning to live with it. That doesn't mean I like it, just that I tolerate it.

    Progress????????????

    Ok, I just got a reply email from Ken. He's got it really tough............he and the family are vacationing in Hawaii ! Should be back in a couple of weeks.

    He also said he can't get onto CHR any more to post, and I told him when he gets back I'll try to help him fix that issue.

    He goes to Hawaii and my vacation is spending the day at WalMart.

    What seems to be his issue? Has he done a system "cleanse"? Added the updated bookmark to the site?

    Not sure, Bill. I spoke with him one day on the phone and he mentioned he found the new format tough to figure out. Then, in the email he just sent me, he says he can't post. When he gets back I'll get more info from him and try to help him get on. If it gets serious I'll PM you so you can assist him, but if I have finally figured out how to navigate the format, and Ken is a whole lot smarter than me, we should be able to get him back up and running.

    Thanks for inquiring.

    I'm glad to hear that he is ok. I sort'a figured he'd just got stewed over the new format and just threw his hands up; hope he can get re-accustomed to the new. I truly understand the frustration, though, I used to be so opposed to computers and their application that I retired because of it - not really, but close to the truth. I could get more done with a pen and paper in a work day than two days of fooling around trying to get that infernal machine to do what I wanted.
