Would anybody be interested in meeting in the chat room on Saturday, November 2nd, with our DVDs ready to go for a viewing of One Armed Bandits? If so, what time works best for you? I was thinking 5 or 6 pm eastern, which would make it 10 or 11 pm for our UK friends.

I didn't tell it to hide from you, I swear!

It's under the Reply To Thread button and thread title at the top of the thread.

I don't blame you for that. Most of the time I run across those buttons on websites, they include your avatar and a white box that covers half the content. Fortunately, AFAIK, this button doesn't do that.

How about root beer?

It's kind of tiny, just under the "Thread: Thread Title" line. I don't think you have to be logged in to Facebook to see or use it, but I might be wrong. Hmm, I wonder if I can make the button a little bigger.

I poked around a bit and found the setting to enable Facebook Likes at the top of each thread. If you're on Facebook, feel free to share your favorite threads with your friends.

The beer's on the house, folks.

If you would like to nominate someone for HazzardNet Fan of the Month, please send a PM to me with the member's username and why you think they should be nominated. Feel free to include links to some of their posts, too. Congrats to all winners, past, present, and future. You're helping keep the spirit of the Dukes alive for future generations!

Since joining in April 2013, Roth_Potter has contributed over 500 posts full of Dukes of Hazzard goodness, most notably the Rare and Behind the Scenes Pictures thread, which has quickly joined the ranks as one of the best threads on HazzardNet. Let's all give Roth_Potter a round of applause and a mighty "Yeehaa!" for being named HazzardNet Fan of the Month.

Thanks, Rog. It ain't easy bein' sheriff 'round these parts. I might just have to requisition more handcuffs after yesterday. LOL.

When I saw the title of this thread, my first thought was that it was spam. LOL. Then I saw that Roger had started it. Yep, the Dukes were a bit ahead of their time in some respects.

Seems HazzardNet got hacked. Fortunately, it appears damage was limited and I have banned the accounts involved. Unfortunately, upon upgrade, I lost a lot of the color changes I made to the forums and it will take me a while to redo. I also had to disable blogs for the time being, as they were throwing errors. Hopefully that will be fixed with the next software update.

Thanks for the heads up, all, and for helping Hobie out. I have changed the default in the admin panel so that registered users get the threads displayed oldest first. Not sure how that ended up as newest first. And you can always change it to whatever you want by following Lizzy's directions.

As far as I know, the default should be oldest first. Is that not how it's showing up??

Ditto. Thanks for adding so much to this forum, Hoss. It is greatly appreciated.

There isn't a Dukes Visit Las Vegas episode, but that sure would be an awesome episode. LOL! We did post an article a while back about a car show in Las Vegas that had a big Dukes of Hazzard presence, plenty of General Lees. Maybe there's some confusion with that??

I've added some more smilies suggested by Hoss. I think Hoss was thinking of you, Rog, when he suggested this one...

Yes, all options go to the same chat room. I'll add some more rooms later. I'm taking suggestions for names. I figured Boars_Nest would be better than the generic "Lobby". I've been busy doing a lot of "behind the scenes" work on the site, stuff that won't necessarily be visible, but should hopefully clean the site up a bit and improve user experience and search rankings. Right now I'm working on some more visible stuff, the chat room, fixing icon colors and forum colors, etc.

Hey, folks. That chat room is back! And this time, you have an option to choose Java, Flash, or Mobile/HTML, whatever works best for you. How many of you would be interested in doing a monthly (or more frequent) chat where we all cue up our Dukes dvds and watch an episode and comment on it together in the chat room? If y'all are interested, one way I've found that works well is for people to sign up for a certain day/time to host a particular episode and they'll be in charge of kicking the viewing off and perhaps adding little tidbits of trivia about that episode and the cast/crew. Let me know what you all think. I think this would be a great way to get HazzardNet busy again and generate more interest in the Dukes.

I wanted the Falcons to win too. I'm surprised my Seahawks pulled out that win against the Texans, but I'll take it! 4-0! Yay! I hope my 'hawks can keep it up. Sadly, hubby's Jets are horrible yet again this year.

This reminds me that I need to figure out how to put a Like button on these posts. LOL!

That's sad. That's probably not what I would have done, but I can't blame them for canceling the season. If it were up to me, I would have dedicated the season to that player and had some sort of tribute for him.

Did you see Joe Staley get injured in the SF vs StL game tonight? That was scary. When I was in high school, one of our players broke his neck and was paralyzed during a game. That was quite a shock. I always think about that when I see a serious injury on the field and I'm relieved when it doesn't turn out as bad as it looks. So glad Joe got off the field on his own power. Too bad about Melton, though, Garrett. Btw, Jason Kendall was also the quarterback of our football team.

You know, Roger, I went to high school with a former Pirate, Jason Kendall. I think he retired in 2010 from the KC Royals. I tend to root for the underdog when I don't have a dog in the fight, so I'll root for your Pirates.
