You are not all crazy........
Please heed his post to change your book mark to the URL on the new page when it appears, and toss your old book mark out. It will only refer you to the new forum for a couple of weeks more. Of course you can always get to it from the forum link off of any of the navigation bars on the main web site. But for those that come here regularly this is a very roundabout way.
I know many of you are still using Microsoft Internet Explorer. In the computer and web world this is a dinosaur browser. The best one out there now is called Firefox, and it is a FREE download. Try it out ( keeping IE until you are comfortable with it and sure everything is working right) It will run our site and most others quicker, and display pages in the most accurate manner. Do not throw your IE program away until you are happy with Firefox. I don't want to be trying to diagnose anyone's computer problems long distance. For me it was a simple install and everything worked great right from the get-go.

There was a problem with the server offset time which effects all users except admins.
You only have an hour to change posts because of the board settings. Please let me know through this forum that it is indeed working. Thanks - Chester

Minor snafu: if you are in http://www.ocfstore.org/The OCF logo does not take to to www.oralcancerfoundation.org (as I presume it should but it takes you back to www.ocfstore.org. (the link at the bottom of that page works however) Where should we post this?? Markus PS...
