I've been thinking for awhile that such a split would be a good idea, but I didn't want to jump in and say anything. I'm really looking forward to a more open classifieds system since nobody seemed to be using what we had.

I don't like losing posts, not one bit, but I've seen this happen here and on other sites and after some time we will all forget about it. I look for good things to come from this. Thanks to those who made it happen!

Hi grumpy,

Let's make peace, right? Yesterday I was a member of one wonderful set of
forums, with lots of virtual friends, tonight I get two sets for the same money
(that is for free!). I will remain an enthusiastic member of both, and my thanks
to all the volunteers that do their best to keep things going. Good night.

If you remember the title (or some words) from your thread, you can google search for it, and click on the link and it will still work. That is how I found the thread on the metal cabinet 50s GE sets I was working on: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/sho...d.php?t=240074
and my thread asking about remote controls in radios: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/sho...35#post2984235

This was a surprise to me, but despite the loss of a few threads, I think having a separate tv board was a great idea, and I like having the tv classifieds back the way they used to be.

Cool, thanks!

Surprising how well Google has indexed the site.

BTW - I don't mean to come off sounding like an ungrateful jerk.
I really do like to new split as well.
I'm definitely looking forward to using the classifieds.

Bob

This worked fine for me, but as a number of us have noticed, it
does not work anymore. Trying to open such links now leads
to a page requesting some kind of internal password. Why?

The forum is back and the link from audiokarma.org even works.

I updated my CTC-11 whining, which came to a happy end (at least for the no-luminance problem).

Yay!

This doesn't appear to work any more. The threads still show up in a google search, but when I try to view them, I'm asked for a password even though I'm logged in. It appears to want an administrator password, or something.

A huge thanks to Dave and Tim for putting this together.

I'll enjoy having a dedicated site to this hobby along with the audio one.

You guys have to remember that for a plant to grow, you need to transplant a part of it, and put it in a new pot, making both pots places for growing.

We could never do things like free classifieds before, etc, in the old framework. Remember guys, I'm a TV guy, so what we have here is something for us, by us.

It also means that your voices for change and direction will be heard much more clearly, as you don't have to go shouting over a crowd.

I was just over there, and still the link directs me to a "Not Found" page.


From another post of mine in the AK News forum: "That's because I clicked on the link displayed on the audiokarma forums page (http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/index.php). The link they give there does not work (http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=166), even though next to it it reads: "Click here to find the new home for all of Audiokarma's TV and Radio forums www.videokarma.org"."

Is that the same link you fixed, or are you talking about a different one?

Have we registered new videokarma members yet? I mean new people that have
joined videokarma directly? Who will have the honor to be the first to join these
forums?

Someone (jr_tech) complained he had joined audiokarma recently and could
not log in here:
