Please go to http://www.thefiringline.com and let me know if it brings you to the new site or the old (mountains and camp) image.
Thanks.

Hey Rich, it brought me to the new site. I guess I'll change my bookmark back....

June 19, 1999, 07:29 PM

Actually, I don't think it does. It brings you to the old firing line tent page and when you click enter you are brought to the page which then transfers you to the new TFL face.

Say that ten times real fast!

On me it is the new site...hmmm.

**Rich Lucibella** · June 19, 1999, 07:59 PM

olazul-
That's what i wanted to hear. It works for me also. Obviously, it hasn't proagated thru the system. Please check daily, after 7PM and report back, if you remember.
Thanks.

Rich, just tried it and it brought me right here. 8:00pm cdt

what me worry? hell yes!!

June 19, 1999, 09:00 PM

It's workin' now.

Gunslinger · June 20, 1999, 12:01 AM

Every time I go to it, either through my book mark or by typing in thefiringline I get:

An error has occurred in the script on this page. The script operation has been canceled.

Below that:

Microsoft JScript runtime error
[Line: 15] 'Image is undefined'

After I click on "OK" I'm then transferred to TFL. This began after the switch was made. I hadn't mentioned it because it isn't really a problem for me and figured it was either my provider, AOL, or my own inept computer skills. By my own admission I'm not very *ept* when it comes to these things. However it may mean something to you, so if it helps..........................

It's showing up on MediaOne now, Rich, so I'd say you are just about good to go. Give it till tomorrow after 7, then change the variables to www.thefiringline.com instead of the IP.

Gunslinger: What version of your browser are you using? It might be the image flip that they used.

Gunslinger · June 20, 1999, 12:41 PM

It's internet explorer.

The Batmobile dashboard (i.e., the new site) from way down south here.

Zach · June 20, 1999, 04:02 PM

Ok Gunslinger, do you have channels? I need to know the version number.

cmore · June 20, 1999, 10:05 PM

rich, it brought me straight here, 10:53 pm
question, why do i have to type in my user name ,etc first post after i log on? old system it came up automatically. does here after the first one. something i'm not doing? or need to do? cmore

**Rich Lucibella** · June 20, 1999, 10:29 PM

Thanks guys. We have switched all pointers over to "www.thefiringline.com". Please proceed to http://www.thefiringline.com:8080/fo...threadid=31863 for instructions.

Gunslinger · June 20, 1999, 11:38 PM

Zach, channels?
Really it isn't a problem for me. If you want to try to educate this poor ol' dumb country boy it's appreciated but not really necessary. Most of the errors in my system can be traced back to the one pushing the keys.

Using IE 5, 6/21/99-0046 hrs, directly to new page.

Dave Kreyer · June 21, 1999, 12:54 PM

Rich, I got to the new home page without any problem.

Zach · June 21, 1999, 02:46 PM

Gunslinger, I'm saying this because in some versions of IE you have to specify the size of the images in the Image(); property of Javascript.

Gunslinger · June 21, 1999, 09:05 PM

Thanks Zach. I *think* the problem has simply gone away. It hasn't done it the last two days. After I book marked it again yesterday it takes me straight to the site with no interuptions.

Why is it that postings that are useles are still on and can they be removed.thanks.

**Bud Helms** · January 4, 2007, 05:11 PM

Yes they can be removed, but we do not because of the overall value of the data herein. Imagine how difficult it would be to get rid of all the "useless" threads and keep the "good" ones.

Did someone hit you up for a storage cost donation?

**Mal H** · January 4, 2007, 09:07 PM

panda51 - I have to admit to a bit of curiosity here. Of all the threads you could have chosen why choose this one to append your question to? Why append your question to any thread instead of creating a new one?

I assume your question was prompted by the old Pedersoli thread that you responded to. Your frustration is understandable, but you have to realize that The Firing Line is more than just a chat room and a sales place for current items. We have a very large database of archived threads and files that may be of interest to someone in the future, no matter how "useless" they may appear to the casual observer. For that reason, no threads are deleted, with the obvious exception of threads created only to cause mischief or by trolls such as cell phone sales, etc.

My advice to you (and a lot more members who seem to forget from time to time) is to be aware of and check the date of any thread you are responding to. It can save you some grief and embarrassment.
