Re: Heading to NYC next week

You can get tickets to the 9/11 Memorial Garden online, which will allow you to skip the enormous line. They're a few dollars but well worth the investment. IP is right - avoid Times Square. Walk through once, take your pictures as quickly as you can, and get out. It's just a mess and doesn't have a...

Re: 67% of Native Americans find

While it can be used as a slur, it wasn't initially one. Especially when the team was named. It seems like the reasoning that's been given as to why the team was named isn't exactly the truth. I don't know how an 81-year-old newspaper article got for so long. http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/193...

Re: Interesting read on divorce rates increasing

Gay marriage is legal. Straighties are dumping their spouse to get on the gay train.

Re: I'm considering going away from the iPhone

To preface, this thread isn't for the Holy Warriors between the Apple and anti-Apple fanbois. Anyway, what non-iPhone would you recommend? Many blogs said the best phone of 2013 was the Moto X (1 cent on Amazon, assembled in the USA). New Samsung will be out in May if you can hold out on upgrading....

Re: Former NFL player & gay rights activist scorches former

I agree that he does, but how does wishing for him to never be hired again in his chosen profession do anything to change that. If you're referring to Priefer, I don't think anyone or anything is ever going to change his mind about it. More importantly, although I know Kruwes stated his reason, how...

Re: First week. How'd we do?

Cool. Thank you a second time. Mark forums read marks all threads as read. Any thread that has new posts since the last time you read it has the little orange icons (as shown in the green box below). Threads that do not have new posts in them are as shown in the blue box below. If you click on the l...

Re: First week. How'd we do?

Thanks BigDave. I'm happy to learn the new software. Obviously on the other site there was the option for threads, so I never took the time. I'm figuring it out and ya'll seem willing to answer any stupid questions. PhpBB does not have now and will not ever have in the future threaded support. There...

Re: First week. How'd we do?

I haven't either. Heck I don't even know yet what "Mark forums read" button is! Is threaded view not an option on this board? This takes some getting used to! If it is available, I've not found it...but that's not saying much on my account. I completely overlooked the "mark forums rea...

Re: First week. How'd we do?

Is threaded view not an option on this board? This takes some getting used to! Do you have a tablet/smart phone? If so try tapatalk. You may find it easier to navigate. It's not that it's difficult as such...just different. I do miss the threaded view where a quick glance can give an excellent overv...
