This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

My computer geek (the guy who built my CPU) told me to stay the he!! away from all these blog sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) unless I wanted to risk hackers and other undesirables weaseling their way into my computer.

Mudge the careful :hide:

THank you everyone. This data is priceless, and will play a huge part in the development of the new website. Perhaps we would want to do a test run as JDK mentioned. Would you guys be interested in being the test pilots for this? What better than warbird people to test an air museum's site.

Keep it simple. I just had a problem with some sites not working. This was one of them. I don't know what the others do differently, I would find out and copy them. Also it seems alot of sites have spy cookies that piggy back or something, cause I don't have to go to many before I have a collection of them that spy sweeper finds.

Sounds great. Simple and uncluttered is what we are going for.

I vote JDK for Supreme Ruler of the Internet.

Handy Hint: Whenever I run into web page situations where poor contrast makes reading tedious, I highlight the text as if I wanted to copy & paste. This causes both font and background colors to change, usually in a way that greatly improves the matter. I also highlight a small bit of text to make a "place marker" when scrolling down on lengthy text-rich web pages.
