It looks like the bigger issues have been resolved, and our site can stay put. The forum software still needs an upgrade though, but that shouldn't take very long. If the site does go down, it should only be for a few minutes.

If the move does take place, it will likely be after 3:00pm EST. I can't be any more specific, because the hosting company will be doing the moving, not me.

There is a possibility that the ATX Community will be moved to a new server tomorrow. If it does need to be moved, the site could be unavailable for up to 3 hours in the afternoon.

I worked with a friend to create a brand new site for a local hospital: http://www.carymedicalcenter.org This is a more personal site, that is shared among a few friends and I: http://www.beaverbrookroad.net

Thank you Stephanie :)

My apologies. I was told that you had been let go. I've removed my previous post.

Have you considered shin removal?

It's usually not easy to match the checks to the usernames on here, but I really appreciate the donations that have been sent. You guys are great, thank you so much ^_^

I just skimmed, so sorry if this has already been mentioned, but number 2 on that list is overkill for tax prep workstation. You're not going to get any speed boost out of ATX software with that video card. A beefy video card like that helps out the performance of games and 3D accelerated applications, but there is little advantage for most 2D desktop applications. If you really want to spend the money my suggestion is to get a $50 video card with dual outputs and spend the difference on the processor or RAM.

It has been my experience that the password features on most common document formats are pretty weak. They'll stop the average person from opening the file, but in the case of Adobe Acrobat, a quick Google search will find tons of programs that you can buy for less than $25 that will crack a PDF password.

Happy birthday Bob! I'm tempted to make TAXBILLY a "Birthday Police" avatar. ;)

I just want to make it clear that ATX does not provide any support for this site, financial or otherwise.

Thank you, and congrats! If you wish to donate, check out the red link at the top of the page.

Google "indexes" the site regularly. A google bot visits and indexes all of the links and posts on this site, so that when people search for something like "ATX Community" (or any other relevant information found on this site) it'll show up in the search results. The forum knows what this indexing bot looks like, and shows it as an active member while it's crawling the pages. It does the same for Yahoo and some other search engines. As far as privacy goes, if you would rather people not see what posts you're reading or what area of the site you're on, you can log in anonymously. Your name will still be attached to your posts, but your movements around the site will not linked directly to you. To log in anonymously: 1. Log out 2. Go here: http://www.atxcommunity.com/index.php?act=Login&CODE=00 3. Enter your username and password, and put a check in the box next to "Log in as invisible" Sorry about the slow response, I'm in the process of moving. Ugh.

Trees and tree limbs shouldn't be a problem.. I have a chain saw to take care of those obstacles. I'm really hoping I can get wireless internet, but line-of-sight to a transmitter is required. I can see a few towers from the house, but I'm not sure if they're wireless or cell towers... we shall see.

I figured the job of a Global Warming Czar anywhere in Cali would be to print the stickers that say "Global warming is known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects"

I am very dependent on the internet. Website development is my job, both 9-5 and freelance. Sorry about derailing the thread, but Im about to move from my apartment to a house in the boonies where moose are my only neighbors. If we can't get wireless internet, our only option will be satellite. (dialup is not an option, I need some form of broadband) How has your experience been with your satellite service? Who is your provider?

Or at least changed the link to www.atxcommunity.com I think the rest of the paragraph still holds true ^_^

:bday:

Excellent, glad to hear it ;)

I made a new birthday emoticon You can use it by typing ": bday :" (without the quotes or spaces) or by going to "Show All" above the emoticon box. Oh, and Happy Birthday, Ron :bday:

Only for about 2400 ft... I need to work on my landing.

Haha thanks guys. Tell me, since I've never had someone else do my tax return, what can I do to make it easier on the preparer?

I've got dual monitors at work, and at home. When I have to use a laptop, I get frustrated from having to constantly minimize/maximize windows to get around. Other than the expense of the second monitor, the hardware required to move to a dual monitor setup can be quite inexpensive. You can get a video card with two outputs for less than $50.
