Welcome, Tom! Hope you enjoy it here. 

I'm pretty sure I can guess why you wanted to PM after not being very active on HNet for a while. I can also see that others who haven't been active here in a while have logged in. I'm sure they're here for the same reason, so I've moderated their accounts as well.
In case you were not aware, using another person's forums to recruit members to other forums is bad etiquette. The point of this forum is discussion of the topic, not recruiting for your own interests. If you're not going to join in the discussion and are only here for recruiting, please leave. If someone is found to be recruiting for other sites, they will be banned.
HazzardNet members, if you've been sent a recruiting PM, please let me know.

This topic will include instructions on how to get around in the new forums. A lot of the functionality will remain the same, but there are some changes. Also, for those of you who have been exploring and would like to share what you've found, please chime in.
Creating New Topics & Content
There's a menu at the top right of the forum that says "+ Create". From there, you can select "Topic". Select the forum you want to put your topic in. A window will open up with an editor. Type in your message, add any files (with the "Drag files here to attach, or choose files" or "Insert other media" options at the bottom of the editor. You can also add other content like a personal status update or upload a gallery image. Replying to Posts
At the bottom of every topic, there is a box to reply to a thread. Simply click in the box and an editor will open up. Click "Submit Reply" to post it. To quote, click on the Quote link at the bottom of the post you want to reply to. The quote will show up in the Reply box at the bottom of the page. You can also click the "+" button on multiple posts to multi-quote. View New Posts
In the menu bar, hover over "Latest Posts & Activity" and click on "New Posts".  There is also an option under "Latest Posts & Activity" called "My Activity Streams". At the bottom of that is a button that says "Create New Stream" where you can configure exactly the type of posts you want to see in that stream. PMs
In the upper right of the forum, there is an icon that looks like an envelope. Click on that and you can see a list of your latest PMs (which you can click on to read), a button to compose a new message, or a link (at the bottom) to go to your inbox. PM functionality remains largely the same as before, but if you'd like me to elaborate on it for this guide, please let me know. To be continued...
 
 

It's been a while since someone posted in this topic so...
I'm currently listening to Tom T. Hall. Faster Horses (The Cowboy and the Poet)
 
Faster horses
Younger women
Older whisky

Yep, I knew his wife's name was Dixie. That's neat you had a personal connection to him.

He was. He used to buy clothes for underprivileged children for school etc. AND his wife's name was....get this.....Dixie!!

Tom T Hall used to live in Franklin Tn. not far from me ( my home town)  and I'd see him and talk to him every now and then.

I didn't hate school, but it wasn't my favorite thing. I enjoyed being on the softball and basketball teams more than academics. That said, I ended up valedictorian of my graduation class.  Every quarter, the coaches would go around asking grades to see if players were still eligible for the team, after about the second quarter, they stopped asking me. LOL.

Anybody else watch westerns regularly? I grew up watching them with my dad. I've been watching them a lot more frequently lately. Gunsmoke and The Rifleman are my favorites, but I do enjoy "Have Gun--Will Travel", "Wagon Train", Wanted: Dead or Alive", etc. There are a lot of great western streaming channels like INSP and Grit and I've found that Gunsmoke is on somewhere just about 24 hours a day. 😁

Rifleman was a favorite of mine way back in the day! I'm 59....so I remember the ancient stuff!! LOL!

Instructions if you're on a laptop or desktop: If you search on Bing and you find a video that's on YouTube, in the lower right hand corner of the video (to the right of the gear), there's "YouTube". Hover over that and it says "Watch on YouTube". Click on that, it will take you to YouTube, once the video starts playing, you can either copy the URL from the browser address bar or right click on the video and click "Copy video URL". Then just past that into your comment in the forums and the video should show up.

The same people doing this are the ones who will ultimately destroy civilization!.....But HEY! WAIT!! This is DOHD.....so let's save this for another time and get a DOH topic going......I've got S 7 Disc 5, and I'll  be watching it soon. ( I've also got AB's in the frig...so.......!!!   HAPPY DOHD EVERYBODY!!  ( voice of Waylon: The people of Hazzard are so special, they have a speciall holiday, not annually  but every  week!! ( can you hear his voice.............The people of Hazzard ARE special!   I could've told 'em that!) 

There have been studies showing that smart people prefer to watch shows with thought-provoking content. I think Scooby Doo and Dukes of Hazzard qualify, don't you?

Last year on the social media channels, I ran HazzardNet Hysteria (the Dukes version of March Madness). It didn't even occur to me to post about it on the forums.  I will be posting polls here for y'all to vote too. Last year it was characters and Uncle Jesse won. This year, it's Battle of the Episodes.
 
And since y'all are the most avid supporters of HazzardNet, you get first crack at the polls! I'll post them here first.

Ok, here are the winners so far.
 

Round 1 of HazzardNet Hysteria! This match up pits "Dear Diary" against "The Canterbury Crock". 

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I have a splash of Irish from my mom's side. I am always wearing green because I have green eyes (my overwhelmingly Scottish heritage).

My ancestors were mostly from Counties Cork and Donegal. 

Round 1 of HazzardNet Hysteria! This match up pits "The Great Santa Claus Chase" against "High Octane". 

Try to keep your mind preoccupied with fun stuff. That was the best thing for me when I had cancer. Otherwise, yeah, it'll get to you mentally.
