    The question was asked, What is KISS?, I might have missed the answer, but if not, KISS is an acronym for "Keep It Simple, Stupid"
    I welcome Tommy Sunshine and hope he can meet everyone's hopes and desires in the classified section. Our sugarbush alternative is a good alternative BUT it IS off our site. I would rather have an operational well designed classified ON our site.
    Welcome Tommy!!! Please make it simple, many of us are basically computer challenged, if not totally computer illiterate, myself included.
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

    I too am on the K.I.S.S. side of this whole new process. Hopefully painless. The only thing I could see for several of us is to make photo uploading easier. I cannot upload a photo onto a post to save my soul. I am not very computer savy, as several other traders mentioned also, and it's just impossible to upload with going to some other sight and reducing the photo size. ODD. Then again, others post HUGE pictures in their posts. I'm not THAT out of it, but this sight is a bummer that way.

    Sorry Cindy for posting such big pics but I hate the process of reducing in size and once you do that the original size is lost unless you upload again to Photobucket, if there is easier way some one tell me my laptop is maxed right now with programs and I haven't DL any.

    Wow,

    Thanks for all the feedback folks. The big thing here is there will be no changes whatsoever without a true Maple Guy first looking at what is being done.

    As for categories in the classifieds, I'm not someone who will be setting up categories, I'm someone who puts together a machine for others to use.

    As a Marine for 10 years I am quite familiar with the KISS concept and its good y'all are so vocal. You don't want many changes and I for one abhor popups, you don't see any on my pages and I would never advocate them for any site anywhere...

    No offense Tommy Sunshine Im sure your good at what you do but how do you plan on taking the trader to the next step not knowing this obsession?
    No offense taken sir, I plan on allowing the users to take the site to the next level by completing tasks someone who does share the maple obsession asks of me.

    Take care folks, can't wait to make some believers out here!

    Flat and Wiam I am well aware of what a moderator and administrator does. My concern was a legit one. The comparison of running and building an evaporator has no bearing on how this site can and will be run. Thanks for a direct reply Tommy Sunshine and not dodging the question.

    His position says ADMINISTRATOR. In my mind that is behind the scenes. Why does he need to know anything about sugaring, if he can set up a classified section.

    Tommy... I might suggest a quick edit on your user title to Webmaster rather than admin to help some folks put things in perspective and better describe your roll here. It likely seems like a trivial issue but it's obviously important to the membership.

    I will admit that when I saw Tommy had access to the admin section of the site I thought it was being hacked.
    Exactly what i thought when i first looked at this thread and went to his home page, then the spammers started poring in roughly 200 new members in the last couple of days, who knows whats that's about but something's broke again. For me to be able to post a picture on this site would be like walking on the moon. Hopefully Tommy Sunshine can do some good for this site, stopping the spammers would be a start.
