….aaaaand we’re back. We’ve had some technical problems over the past few days and we’re in the middle of fixing the forum.

In the meantime, please feel free to register as a contributor in our new blog section. It will be a permanent addition to NewsNation.net that will enable us to highlight the most interesting posts on the forum and discuss breaking news.

We would like to ask the veteran users of News Nation to use the same old user names they had on the old forum, so that it’ll be easier to recognize each other.

Thanks!

    Sorry about the mess. The server went down and I had to move the site to a new server. The forum got messed up and I’m in the middle of fixing it. In the meantime, feel free to write blog messages.

    I’m poking around to see what I can do.
    Looks like if you can find something called the Dashboard, you can navigate around and do stuff.

    Now that we have a few more entries, it looks a lot more intuitive.

    I’ll see what happens, and promise not to touch any of the RED buttons… Giggle 2

    Okie dokie then. Looks like you need to use HTML if you want to do something fancy, or it will just take a colon and closed parentheses :) smilies.

    OK. The dark gray on black is damn hard to see.

    If you’re using Firefox, I recommend an extension called BBCodeXtra. It appears that HTML and XHTML (about the same thing) are appropriate on the Blog. BBCodeXtra

    Infinite. Salaam Alekum effeydi.
    Great to have you on board as well.
    I have a suspicion that some of the bush boys gave the NN server a reprogramming with an axe.
    I’ve moved house to Nosovice (about 40km East of Ostrava) on account of work.
    My house is directly opposite to the Radegast brewery and my office 500m distant, so I have a perfect view.
    BTW, they do an alcohol-free beer for export to the Islamic countries - still tastes good.
    Being diabetic, its my only good option anyway.

    NN will be working on resurrecting the Message Board, and it should me more than a few days. I’m learning a bit at a time how to edit and publish stuff in HTML, so be patient. NN expects to get more traffic, since blogs are interlinked to other blogs, so a stray troll may drop by for us to put into Rendition

    I’ve stuck a few Blogs over on the sides that are of interest. If you have a favorite that routinely has something intelligent or satirical to say, I’ll put them up there. Carry on down here while we try to give the place a political personality.

    I’ll be back in the morning.

    WAZZZZZZZZZZZUP ?

    Jesus! I was in LIMBO for a few days but no problem, got me involved in more Poker games both in Internet and Live games.

    Muck, this is gonna be hard on the ‘old man’…can’t teach MYSELF …new tricks.I’m not very savy on the computer, b ut I used to be a Boy Scout, so I’ll live.

    czechmate, let me know if those defensive missiles are already set up, I need an excuse to go there to visit that brewery. Take care of that diabetic thing. I will drink your share of beerwith alcohol.

    infinite- hey…what’s up dude? Even the caveman was puzzled the last few days, but he got involved in the NBA bettings and he’s OKAY!.

    Yo!………..folks!

    They say that ” you can’t teach old people new tricks”, but my own belief is, well…. just please be nice.

    This time, infinite, I say, ” Not to easy but still…a caveman can do it”. Persistancy, that is.

    The few days of not posting in Sports put me in LIMBO, Dave, but no problem, it only meant more Internet Poker Tournaments and early morning LIVE games.

    czech- let me know if the good Americans eventually won on that “word war” of installing the defensive missiles. I need a valid reason to VISIT your place, to check up on that brewery.

    Good to be back, strange ‘make do’ on the forum, but nobody’s perfect. Only my pet Chihuahua dog is , somehow.He’s so perfect, I might change my name to ” nobody”to give ‘her’ competition.

    Got to go………NBA bettings, you know.

    As I understand it, Andy, the old message board will retain the old look and style (unless NN has more surprises for us) and we can still shoot the breeze over there as before. A blog is a different critter entirely, and this area will evolve as we get used to the different comment structures.

    This place is available on an RSS 2.0 feed. If you’re not very familiar with that, I’ll post a link to some kind of RSS for complete idiots site. I include myself in that group, since I really can’t explain it very well, either. There has to be hundreds of RSS feed programs available for free. At the moment, I’m using a Firefox Extension called Sage (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/77) if you want to give it a try.

    One other thing; I’m going to use my real name here instead of Muck. Then you can Google me (: .

    Dave

    Hey, it seems very complicated but it’s worth a try.

    The only thing is, we only have one computer (gave away the old one)….and I got my wife INTERESTED in Internet Poker so, my computer use is limited now.

    I do LOVE it, though. Most tournamnets take 4 or 5 hrs and that gives me some time to go to the nearest casino for live games….or just look at the girls.

    I thought my first post didn’t come thru ( 4:08 a.m.) so, I did another one . Oh well.

    Google you?

    Hi guys! It’s me, Mr. Perfect. I decided to use the handle I use on several other forums as well. I hope that’s ok.

    Yo,

    Mr. ” P”", this new-style (for me) of forum -posting , if that’s the word, won’t be PERFECT without you.

    Now……the beat goes on!

    Oooops!….got to go, I looked up the window, the garbage man is here. I have to go out there and tell him that “we don’t want any”. (smile)…

    how’s that smiley works?

    Hi Mr. Perfect
    The gang’s all back (well almost)
    Since the NN crash I’ve moved from Ostrava to Nosovice due to pressure of work.
    Besides, my rented home is virtually opposite the brewery of my favourite beer and the cats love having a garden to play in and a brewery to hunt in.
    Since moving here they seem to have problems with walking home in a straight line.
    I wonder why?
