Greetings to all !

Does anyone have a link to the old Bulletin Board at ICC ?

There is a wealth of information in that cache.

I recently upgraded to a newer computer and all of my

Bookmarked links were lost.

Thanks ! 8-)

every once in a while I jump back to that site to see what's up. It always amazes me how difficult their board is to navigate and read. In this day and age - there's no excuse for a hard to navigate discussion forum.

Always makes me appreciate what we have here!

It appears as though The Cow has disabled that resource.

The Bookmarked link on my home computer has also become

invalid.

Are you a member of that other board?
 
Do a search for "fire alarm" and you will go all the way back to 2000 with 1754 post to look at.

A particular post may be difficult to find

cda,

No, I am not a member on that other Forum.......After they pulled the rug out

from under us, I came here & joined immediately, and haven't looked back.

I DID however, keep a link to that old Forum, because of the amount of GREAT

content.......................It provided a lot of invaluable information from contributors

who are either no longer around, or who are now retired.

FWIW, ...I was used to the format on the old Forum.

No, it has not, there is/was a way to drill down into the old Bulletin Board but it was tricky the last time I did it, if someone really needs to get back there let me know and I'll make some stabs at getting back down into it.
 
You must log in to read the "other" bulletin board. I am NOT a paying member.

I remember digging through the archives a few years ago. For some reason, the original post is missing - all I could find were answers and subsequent discussions. And to make this kind of funny, I just went to the other site. There is a thread started in the Welcoming New / Old Participants sub-forum, dated 10-24-14, entitled "Missing original posting?" Surprise, surprise - there is no response.

The user was reading a topic from Sept 2009 - was that in the time frame of the original board?

And in the same sub-forum, there are two threads talking about spam. So glad I do not get / see spam on this site.

Darn Spam Police worse than NSA and they don't need no stinking badges
 
Sorry North but I tried, as I recall it involved several steps including clicking one of the links in the green banner at the bottom, I can't replicate the procedure. I did Google some terms that should have brought me back in but got this error message so I assume the ICC has taken it down. I found another post by aegisfpe that describes a workaround but that doesn't work either, good old Uncle Bob's comments are worth reading for a good laugh now.

I did find a good source for old ICBO codes, I downloaded the 1927 code and it works just like it did when we used to buy a new code book and install the CD in our hard drives, Installashield Wizard and all.
