[ClayObsessed]

I have started on saving the Clay In Magazines thread.
10 down and 54 to go.  Wish I could have started sooner. 

I didn't see anyone else doing it, so...hope I am not stepping on anyone else's
toes

Update :  SAVED all of Clay In Magazines thread



Took about an hour and a half to save all 64 pages of the thread.   
Much longer than necessary.  But reading some of those old posts
brought back such great memories of his days in the sun of the
magazines.  It just wasn't possible to resist. 

I'm not sure what to do next.  So if anyone wants some help, please let know.

SHIRL!!!!     It's so good to see you posting.  Hopefully that means you're feeling better and looking forward to maybe attending a concert or two this summer!

I'm recopying the Pet Thread pages because I couldn't find the files when I went to look for them yesterday.      This time I will be saving them in my Documents folder.  I'm sure they're somewhere on my hard drive, but after frantically looking for them with no success I decided "better safe than sorry".

Thea - Shirl is feeling good, and is going to see Clay in Reno!  I am saving things to folders in My Documents - saving each year separately, in the case of the ANN.

Michelle or Michael - I've been talking to Shirl about the ANN - she suggests putting the year ahead of the date  - she thinks this will keep everything in order. l discovered several dates way out of order, because someone posted weeks after the thread was created (discovered one July date in the middle of November of the same year.) Changing the year to the front of the date  will be  a little extra work, but will be worth it if it keeps everything in the right order. What do you think? I think I will go over to the new site later to add a few dates to the ANN just to see how it will work, but I will wait for an answer to this before doing that.

Have anyone saved the cellcerts from past concerts? I sometimes would go back and enjoy reading them again.

Thanks again for everyone's hard work. Glad it would be easy to save for the new board and looks like you have enough time to save everything. Love the new board so far.

Yes, Tiffany, the cellcert threads are being saved by Marilyn.

To make sure saves aren't being duplicated please check here:

List of Saved Threads

before doing anything.

As Philly is doing with Frankie, if you want to help by partnering up and starting at an "opposite end" of a thread timeline and meet someone in the middle this is a great way to get things saved.

Michelle - did you see my question above about dating the Anns? I just found An October 2007 post right in the middle of May 2008  Also, since most of the ANN dates are being saved in "HTML only", how are they to be saved? Will we copy and paste, or will they transfer over by a right click (I guess I need to go see what happens when I try to post something.) I assume we will be typing in the Title and date of each??? Where will we put original Poster's name? (Maybe I will see that when I move a post over). If Philly moves a thread from 2010 and I put one from 2003 in later, what will happen - will the 2003 go to the back as it should???

I'm going to go frost a cake that just came out of the oven - if all of you want to come on down, we can eat cake and discuss this in person - I'm warning you, though - it is snowing here again!!! (Third time this winter!!!)

You will be recreating the thread but the post time will determine the order. If you create a thread for a date in 2007 and someone else goes in after you and creates a thread for 2005 it will be above the 2007 date because of when it was posted.

Your idea for the year being listed first is a good one.

When you recreate a thread you will have to do it one post at a time. Copy/pasting each individual post. You will need to include the poster's username and original post date as part of the body of your post.

For example:

Claymaniac username posted this on April 17, 2004

copy/pasted post

Does that make sense?

[fhmmany2]

It does , but with the ANN each News Team member (or anyone who helped her that day) will be shown as the person who made the post anyway - at least I think this informaion will show up?) I guess there is no way to avoid the present poster's name from showing up on the outside of the Thread.  Shirl thinks that if we put the year first - as in 2010 AIKEN NEWS NETWORK January 1 - the date will line up correctly, no matter when it was posted. I hope she is right about this. She said it works with her personal files on her computer - maybe Michael does not have things set up like this, though. In the past, ANN threads have moved out of place as soon as someone posts in them - even months afterward. I will try the dates both ways to see what happens.

I think entire pages will be able to be highlighted, copied, and pasted at one time. (At least I hope so!)

I hope we will be able to delete on the "test site". I will make errors at first, I know, and I would like to get it right.

Just copied June and July 2008 - I'm on Page 18.

EDIT - August and September 2008 Copied - I'm on Page 16, but am about to take a break.
