    New ChiefTalk Forum

    We have a new ChiefTalk forum available. Please check it out, and let us know what you think.

    We will be migrating to this new forum software over the next few weeks. The new forum uses the Chief Architect digital locker log in. Read more about it on the new forum.

    Me either. I prefer the new forum here: https://forums.chiefarchitect.com

    Very soon the only way to use this forum is to read it. Posting will be turned off in a few weeks. Searching will be available for an extended period. Right now we are thinking a year.

    You get warning points from a moderator or admin. Things like Posting on the wrong forum might count!

    I appreciate that you will be keeping older posts available for searching; but I would hate to lose this information in only a year.

    I rely heavily on searching the forum to get information and solve problems. I find it a far more usable resource than the help section, or the manual.

    All of the other help available is cursory; Chieftalk is a place where things have been explored in depth. This archive of information is important in that it helps me to explore the limits of what is possible in Chief.

    I agree with Bill. Why one year?
    I do not like the idea to log into the new forum with my CA account login for the same reason that I would not log into my bank info sessions with my bank account login.

    When they shut this site down, we will lose the ability to find my videos that are only found via this web site..... once in a while I need to go back and review a vid.

    The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.

    We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

    If you are interested in keeping abreast of any new videos, please subscribe to my channel at YOUTUBE...... channel is ds hall

    Can we cash them in like reward points on my Visa?

    What I'm really asking is their a limit where you get some type of reprimand (like points on your driver's license)? Over the last 14 years on this forum I have been know to misbehave or be just a little sarcastic on a few occasions. Lew will verify this!

    OK, I just signed up on the new forum. New handle 'NCC-1701'. I'll beam over there shortly...

    I logged in a little bit ago to the new forum but I didn't see anyone else except people from Chief's main office. Maybe I'm not doing something right? Ill check it again.

    For some reason FireFox isn't making a connection to the new forum using either of the links, whether clicking on them or copy > paste. Maybe I will go to CA's website and see if there's a way to access it from there.

    Every link and web address I try to get the new forum isn't working. Here's a snapshot of the error I get.

    I am using Firefox .... I can connect to anything else under the sun but not the new forum. I am perfectly happy with ChiefTalk as is (obviously) until someone can enlighten me as to what the new secret password is!
