Thanks MasterPain. April Fools! Read more here: http://www.karateforums.com/april-fools-vt40631.html Thanks, Patrick

Hello, Thank you for visiting KarateForums.com. Earlier today, I announced that we could be limited traffic to KarateForums.com and that you could only visit the forums for two days a week - with the two days being decided by the character or letter that begins your username. Today is April Fools Day and this announcement was just us having a little fun. We're not limiting access in this manner. Credit for the inspiration behind the idea goes to Heidi (ninjanurse). I hope that everyone had a fun day. Thanks, Patrick

Edit: This was an April Fools joke. I hope that everyone had a fun day. Hello, Thank you for visiting KarateForums.com. Having a lot of traffic can be a good problem to have, when you are speaking of an online community like this one. That is, until your financial resources cannot cover the traffic that you are receiving. And we are getting close to that point, here at KarateForums.com. In order to compensate for that, we have devised a plan whereby access to the forums will be limited to certain days of the week based upon what the first letter of your username is. For example, my username is Patrick, which obviously starts with a P. Please consult the list below, in order to see what days of the week you will be able to access the forums. Usernames starting with numbers, special characters or letters A-C: Mondays and Fridays. Usernames starting with letters D-P: Tuesdays and Saturdays. Usernames starting with letters Q-Z: Wednesdays and Sundays. Thursdays will remain as an open day off, if you will, for the forums. These limitations will be set in place beginning on April 10. Please note that this will only apply to when you are logged in: viewing threads as a logged in member, subscribing to threads, posting, viewing and sending private messages, updating your profile, etc. On these days, you will still be able to access the forums as a guest and view and search within them. These day limitations will not apply to members of staff, who are tasked with keeping the community on track everyday. I apologize for having to take such aggressive action but hope in doing so that the long term stability of this community will be achieved. Thank you for your time and understanding. Sincerely, Patrick

Thanks for the replies all. Patrick

Sure thing, Bob.

Let us know how it goes. Patrick

Belated welcome, aaronj324! Glad to have you. Patrick

Hey Bob, Sorry that you are having this trouble. The best thing you can do to ensure the speediest, safest result is to take it to a computer tech if you have someone you know. They can help get you sorted and back on the right track and can help you set up a backup system, as well. Your documents may not be lost - it could be any number of things. Having a backup system that regularly and automatically backs up your files is always a good idea, but the moment after you might have lost documents is not the greatest time in the world to be hearing that stuff. Do what you can, get back on track and then you can set up something to take care of that. When that time comes, you may want to take a look at something like http://www.carbonite.com, which I am looking at myself. Best of luck! Thanks, Patrick

Hey KarateKaj. Glad to have you. Patrick

Sorry to hear this, Brian! Even though it's not the greatest news, I'm sure it's good to have a name and a diagnosis for what you have. It looks like physical activity is a good thing for the condition, though: http://www.neurosymptoms.org/#/physio-exercise/4533198131 Patrick

Hey Thomas. Welcome aboard. Patrick

Thanks for starting them, Bob. Patrick

Hey Harry. Welcome! Patrick

Thanks Brian. Yeah, it would be nice if we could all get together on this, but everyone has different schedules. Is that 3 PM on both Friday and Saturday, Brian? Patrick

Welcome aboard, nauman1m. There was no video included, unfortunately. Thanks, Patrick
