Speaking of which … Stephen, one of these was what I had in mind for the holder to put places. We could just put the one flyer in under the protector, then load up with business cards. Or put a bunch of flyers in and let people take either cards or flyers.

Very nice. My wife is finishing up another design project, then we’ll move on to that.

Obviously, feel free to use AZ as much as you all want to promote the event. Most of the regulars there already know about it or participate here, but there’s some new blood signing on from time to time. I’ll even stickify a post.

Could you present a new banner (like last year’s) that we could post on our personal sites with this year’s info?

I think it should be more casual, that tends to be recieved better. Along the lines of “Hey all, Wanted to let you know that registrations for this year’s Flags on the 48 event have started. I just signed up for _______. For those who don’t know, FOT48 is a September 11th Memorial Hike in the NH Whites. If you want to know more, let me know, or check out the site at http://www.flagsonthe48.org“.

We should try to avoid posting a canned message to every site. The more personal it is… the better recieved it will be.

IMHO

Hrm… if there were an ‘net connection, we could even scan/upload on site…

1. Type of food?
   General Fare + BEER
2. Type of event (i.e. do we need entertainment?) :blink:
   ERM, no. Maybe background muzak, but nothing fancy.
3. Time of day?
   I think first folks arrive around 5 or 6 and stay until 10 or so.
4. Duration?
   3-5 hours
5. Other requirements?
   Hiker-Friendly

in reply to: Links Page #49620

VFTT and AMC, since there is a lot of overlap, we should give them a link back.

Oh, and I suppose AlpineZone, too. 😉

Q&A is updated.

in reply to: Confirmation E-mail issues #49573

I found it! Comcast has a spam e-mail filter option.

1) Do you want us to filter spam?
2) Do you want it put into a folder or deleted?

If you answer yes- deleted, any message that fails a reverse DNS lookup will never arrive.

About 45-50% of domains would fail this lookup. Anything hosted on a virtual server.

Best way around this- put a message on the registration that “confirmation e-mails may be filtered out by certain spam filters (such as Comcast or SBC). Please check your spam folder as this could be the case if your confirmation does not arrive.”

My first computer experiences started with the Commodore Vic 20. :blink:

tee hee. Adventure land on cartridge and Wargames on tape. Cant forget the tape drive. And it was hooked up to a TV. Remember when TV hookups was standard and not an expensive option on a video card! 😆 But hey, at least my Vic 20 had a joystick!

I think the loss is minimal, and we should implement the SEO. :flag:

What is the functionality loss?

Also, could you add the Quick Reply feature to this forum as well?
