Check for things missing, like your signature Picture!

I did my best. I hope nothing critical has been lost.

Dan, thanks so much for taking the time to get the forum back up and running. Everything looks good from my perspective.

This place is invaluable to us all. Not sure what some of us would do without it!

I bought us a year. Unless things pick up, we may still not be around after that.

What is it going to take to secure the website long term? Do you need money to keep it going?? How much?

I need actual technical support in the form of people who are familiar with running a website, FTP, backup of MySQL databases, phpbb installations, a little HTML, and also have an enthusiasm for their Lincoln and helping others.

Money isn’t really an issue, but it helps. I would love it if members could encourage other Lincoln owners to visit to tell stores, ask questions, post pictures, etc.

I’ve considered taking the forum private. I don’t want to ever see ads here. That’s an endeavor of itself.

Check out our new mobile-friendly format! Looks the same but it isn’t. No zooming!

I too am glad to see the Forum back! There's just too much valuable information here to be lost due to 'bot contamination. I mean, I even steer owners on Facebook groups here when they ask questions there that have already been answered here...at least, I do when I'm allowed to talk on that platform.

Try the search engine, please. It should find anything, now.

Glad to see it back, I missed you guys!
A special thanks to Dan, not only for your efforts of late, but also for the last 20 years. It's a huge job to do all by yourself, and I hope you can get the assistance you have requested.
