To avoid some of the confusion in the I Boat NorthWest website name, I purchased www.IBoatNorthWest.com and have it pointed here as well. So... if ya ever have to explain it... both names get you to the same great place. :)

Again:

www.IBoatNW.com

and

www.IBoatNorthWest.com

are both us.

Good call Mike!
Good thing that it wasn't snapped up!

[SomeSailor]

Yeah... some outfit wants $800 for IBNW.com, so I figured what the heck. :)

I looks better on a website anyhow... :)

Gotta get off my lazy butt and get a link built :)

I'll try to get that this weekend if the weather's not nice and I'm out flying :)

[Go Aweigh2452]

okey dokey, I will be in P'Cola all week and hopefully have web access but if not, don't fret... I'll carry my share...

[SomeSailor]

OK then...

I've plaguerized the heck out of the page NumbKnots suggested from another site and if you'd like to contribute... here's a link.

>>>> CLICK HERE (http://iboatnw.com/cart/ibnwsupport.html) <<<<

I'll be accepting PayPal payments and of course plain old paper. Use the link above though and I'll update that as time goes along.

Thanks again folks. If you have any problems... let me know.

Learned how to cut my own hair tonight, saved 20 bucks doing it.
Glad to have given it up +5 to chat about boats :lol:

SS,

I set up an account, and tried to "buy my way in" the checkout proceedure wouldn't go past step#2??

Tim

[bradvo]

Tim, don't need a hair cut do ya? :lol:
Brad

[Numbknots]

Brad,

Dang it you a mind reader too?? I just told the Admiral that mine was getting long enough to braid!!! 1/4" So you pretty good skipper clipper now eh??

:argh Tim

SS,

Tim

Hmmm... should work. You need to register with the cart software (name and amail and such), but then you just check out like any other website shopping site.

Lemme know if you have no luck.

Brad; Got yours fine. Thanks and I'll update the contributors page tommorrow.

[Numbknots]

SS,
Hmmm, I did the whole registration thing and set up the account info and got a confirmation e-mail etc.

I will try again, (Will it accept Visa as the logo shows??) I get Ak air miles for that expense?

Tim

[Numbknots]

SS,

I just "logged in" and went to the shopping cart where I place (previously) the "sponsor" purchase then I did the "checkout" and came to where it said step 2 continue?? when I pressed Continue it just keeps reloading the same choice without giving my the 'select type of payment option? What the hey am I missing?
(been a long day)
Tim

[SomeSailor]

Try it now Tim;

I had the shipping part of that item setup wrong. This is new shopping cart software they just made available and it's got more "whiz" than the ones I've used previously.

I only have the PayPal and Check options setup, but they should be available now.

[Numbknots]

Thanks Mike,

Confirmation I am only loosing it a little at a time! Sometimes it is easy to spend money (sometimes harder) I will give it another go

Tim

[SomeSailor]

I've got so much crap going on these days... I'm gonna have to go back to work just to catch up ... :)

It should work now I think.

[bradvo]

Mike aka SS, are you going to set this membership Click Here or have an icon in the future for payment rather then in the announcements?
if you have already clarified this my apologies, Hard to keep track of all my favorite boat sites and work for a living :oops:
Also, did you decide on a avator or some other colorful gizmo to be next to paying members?
I want to say that it really does not matter to me I guess one way or the other.

Tim, my wife says for me to stop cutting my hair- she finally decided it is too short.
I got it down to about an 1/8 of an inch, next stop is a razor and some cream. It is a little tough trying to trim the rear neck line, try holding that razor and hold a mirror up while standing with your back to another mirror- one small mistake and ZIPPO, look like a GEEK.
Would not mind trying that bald look just once., all it would take is one mistake :lol:
Brad

[SomeSailor]

Good points Brad. I'll probably build some avatars up for the different levels of membership.

I'll also need to do some hacking on the PHP that runs this thing to get an icon up on the banners somewhere. I REALLY need to do some work on the main page to tie all these loose ends together. It's getting pretty sloppy. :)

Anyone have any ideas? Personal webpages are a done deal. I'm waiting to hear back from our host to see what the easiest way to do domain names would be. That way each user would be able to have their OWN domain name (ie: www.Numknots.com) that would point to a web page they could build, update and link to and such here. Thats a left-burner item right now though.

[Numbknots]

SS,

Thanks for the prompt input/changes. I for one know what it is like to be so busy (not working) that working would be R&R-----darn that would be a hard political sell??)

I like the personal website idea-- Should not be a problem with hosting them if the individuals "domain names" are available? Might have to start a new extension like www.numbknots.nwb???

Brad, I have enough trouble shaving the other side of the melon with out self mutilation :shaking2:

I am going to have the top at 1/8th for my upcoming trip to the Philippines next month!

looks like a spammer, don't open "FUNHORNIC" website...

[SomeSailor]

Feel free to delete that sort ofjunk Doug. Many of you have that capability and are more than welcome to self-police these knuckleheads off the board.

I often don't have to the time to see them right away.

[Go Aweigh2452]

I don't have moderator priv for that part of the site... I figure that's why the dude used that part of the forum... hence the reason I PM'd you. I think you need to keep control of that part anyway.

[SomeSailor]

No problem. No particular logic in who I stuck where in the moderator capacity. Just divvied it up amongst those who I knew and came to mind at the time.

It just allows folks with some good sense to delete off-color posts or at least lock them down.

Been really short of time in the last few months, but that's life I suppose. Thanks for the heads-up Doug.
