Yes, strictly a voluntary donation. I will send you a private message with the my name/address. If anyone else would like this information, you may send me a private message.

Thanks for this thread, I'm going to pin it to the top because I can see this being a common problem, especially for AOL and Hotmail users. For those of you who are lurking here and waiting for a validation email, try having it re-sent and keep an eye on that SPAM folder. The email usually gets there within a couple minutes and shouldn't take any longer than half an hour. If anyone still having trouble with validation, send an email to [email protected] and let me know the username you chose during the registration process. Be sure to send the email from the address you used for your membership, and I will then be able to manually validate your account.

I dig your signature And yes, I bet you will be able to access it from work, at least for now. Depending on how snoopy they are, they may add it to their blocked sites list if they see you visiting a lot.

You can invite William, but I'm not sure that he'll be able to participate. You never know unless you ask, though!

Hi Marilyn, I'm amazed that so many of you have found your way here the first day the site has been open. Thank you for the kind words.

I added an event to the calendar for the 17th.. if anyone has any other events/dates to post, I'll be happy to do that. Also, if you set your birthday in your Control Panel ("My Controls" at the top of the screen) it should automatically show up on the calendar. Also, if there are any other ATX website pages that are frequently used enough to deserve a link at the top on the toolbar, feel free to suggest it.

I wish there were an easy way to get word to all of the ATXers out there who are looking for a new message board to call home. We need to find all that we can so that the community is able to sustain itself. It'll be a while before this site is indexed by search engines, so if any of you have contacts with other ATXers, please, spread the word!

You're welcome. And thank you... as the husband of a kindergarten teacher, I fully appreciate the significance of the gold star, haha There was some initial expense at getting the software and hosting for the site set up. There will be further expense to pay for monthly bandwidth bills, but it's not something I'm too worried about at this point. If the forum grows and starts getting lots of traffic, I may put a paypal donate button somewhere on the page, or add some small unintrusive (Google?) ads to help pay the bills.

So, what do you folks think? Shall we use General Chit-Chat for everything both tax related and jokes/recipes/etc, or should we create a new section specifically for OT threads?

Hello, and welcome to The (unofficial) ATX Community. This message board is maintained/moderated by ATXers for ATXers, and is not affiliated with ATX/Kleinrock or CCH in any way. It was created to replace the community that was removed from the ATX website on Friday, April 6, 2007. Where we may lack the presence of some insightful ATX employees, we can make up with an emphasis on community cooperation and support, and a free exchange of knowledge and ideas. This community is not a place for CCH bashing. There's nothing wrong with calm and constructive debate, but flame wars are counter-productive and will not be tolerated. If attacking CCH is all you're interested in, please take it somewhere else. If you have any suggestions for this site, please post them in the Website Discussion forum. I'll do whatever I can to help this community grow and thrive as the original had.
