Time for some updates and announcements.
Part 1…
First off, we've started our own forums to better organize information . Since we're 31 strong and growing (I was just contacted about possibly adding 5 - 10 more members), it's getting very difficult for me to keep track of all the information everyone is sending my way.
The forums are located here: biotexasdfw.proboards78.com/index.cgi
Some Bio-Buddies are having trouble receiving their account activation keys. From my understanding, the e-mail the forums host sends is blocked by the spam filters, so you might want to check your Junk Mail or Spam folders for an e-mail from 'nobody@proboards.com'. If you add this e-mail address to your "Safe" list (the different e-mail hosts out there refer to that list by different names), you should be able to receive e-mails from them (which will be important for receiving the notifications talked about later on in this e-mail).
I had no trouble getting my activation key, so if you'd like, send me your desired user name and I'll set up your account for you. After your account is sent up, I'll e-mail to you, your username & password. You'll need to login, change your password and the e-mail address it has saved to send the notifications.
All future information will be posted on the above mentioned forums instead of filling everyone's' inboxes with 10,000 e-mails. I still may send some BBMLs every once in a while if needed.
There is a feature on those forums that will send you an e-mail notification for replies if you wish to receive them. There is a box labeled "Check this box if you wish to bookmark this thread." which controls the e-mail notifications for that thread. If you wish to not receive notifications, then simply don't check this box and read the threads and replies at your own convenience.
Please bear with me as I setup these forums. Depending on how long it takes me to figure out all the settings that will benefit us best, I may have to move thread or posts around within the forums. I'll do my best to send everyone a PM (private message) via the forums to let you know, or make an announcement on the forums about anything significantly changing.
Part 2…
I know a lot of you have sent me information regarding updated methanol, lye, KOH, etc. sources and a lot of other stuff. I'll start adding this information to the forums as I get time. Please feel free to add your own updated information or correct my information as you wish (as I know sources change their prices all the time and the information I post maybe a few weeks old and no longer current).
Part 3…
Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.
Regards,
Andrew Hefner (a.k.a. Bio-Texas-DFW)
