            Hello there!

            A bunch of us ‘just write’ and enjoy the process, which yes, can result in writing across multiple genres (although for me, science fiction-oriented is a sweet spot). I also know all about falling down the research rabbit hole, as I’ve been doing that a lot for several ongoing projects! The thing is, it can be so much fun…

            …although it sure doesn’t help with getting new words. LOL!

            Let us know if you have any specific questions. We are always happy to help! This coming Nano we have a writing group on the Nano site. Just post here with your Nano name if you are interested in joining. 🙂

                I’ve narrowed down the issue with the contact form as a problem with the contact form software itself (it’s not a conflict with other software). As of May 5th it was working, but now it won’t allow a send of anything in the contact form. I’ll see if I can root out the problem.

                  :waves:

                  The badges are new, and an aspect of the site I’ve been trying/wanting to do here for a while. The ‘activity’ of earning were triggered by a script I’m trying to get to run properly so that any past activity by members is recognized by the new badge/rank/achievement software. It’s only been half successful so far. Any new earning goes through fine, but I’m having issue with it not wanting to recognize all of any past activity. Still working on a solution there.

                  The contact form issue I didn’t know about, but could be caused by a new hidden software to protect against so many of the new spam accounts we’ve been plagued with lately. I’ll look to see if I can figure out what happened there. Thanks for letting me know.

                    Waaaaaaay too long since we launched. But then, I was always of the opinion that we should have had a replacement in place before we grounded the ONE human launch vehicle this country had (so stupid).

                    So, YAY!

                        Hey there, good to see you again! Sorry to hear about the cancer. Been dealing with that with family a lot lately, and it’s definitely no fun. So, lots of virtual hugs there. I look forward to seeing some of your writing. 🙂

                          Under the car. Under the pile of laundry. Under the guppies or shrimpies. Make your choice. 😛

                            I’m hoping Science Fiction an also apply? 😀

                            Right now I’m writing about an approach to an asteroid. The ‘land’ slowly tumbles, with stark delineations between ‘daylight’ and ‘night’. While there is solid ground, or an equivalent, there is also a good layer of basic regolith consisting, among other things, of ice particles, silicate, and basic sand and ruble of space debris. Not much of the base is visible on the surface. Most of the base is located deep below the regolith and built into the solid rock below.

                            And my character is having a heck of a time landing the shuttle in the uneven gravity. 😛

                              Further updates:

                              Installed security plugin and did a site scan. No malware detected.

                              Installed and paid for subscription to help with the spam accounts that are being created. I’ve used this plugin in other places and it seemed to keep the numbers down. I’m hoping it will do the same thing here.

                              Deleted about 60 spam accounts. None of which have ever posted. I’m hoping no legitimate accounts got caught in the purge. if so, please recreate your account!

                              Updated forum software.

                              Updated theme.

                                Ashe, I’ll run a maintenance script. That helped with the problem for a while before. I’m not sure what keeps causing that problem.

                                  Well, I’m a little late, but life kept getting in the way. But, have good news! The edit of Spring Fever is DONE! Whew. Just wish Father Rooster had lived enough to read the next Salmon Run book. (cry)
