Thanks guys but found a problem that didn't surface during Beta.
Those users that have spaces in their screen names are throwing the program for a loop. I have temporarily changed those users names and replaced the space with an underscore i.e. Texas Outlaw is now Texas_Outlaw.
Passwords are unchanged. Login with this style of username until I can track down where the script is loosing it.
When fixed I will change the username back to what it should be and notify each of the affected members by e-mail.

Bump for the cause. For those that don't already know this, Bob (Guzzle92) has put a huge amount of time on this project. I was lucky enough to be one of his lab rats (beta tester) and I will tell you he was one the job almost round the clock until he was satisfied it was working. I want to publicly thank him again for all his hard work and dedication to this cause and for those that haven't joined up, please think about it and remember, it might be you that needs it first.
Bob, thanks again brother.

Your welcome Barry, and why the &^$# didn't you find this problem when you were banging on the keyboard during Beta ????? Huh....... 
No matter, took me just about all day to track down this allusive bug but it turned out to be just a little thing, just had to make changes to two little files. I guess I was looking too hard.
Anyway, just getting ready to e-mail the members with spaces in their screen names that I am going to drop in the fix as soon as I send them the notice.

Great Job Guzzle, me and Jim gave it a good kick start and you and Neal have made it back into the great road side help network that we had before actually even better.

Damn...I could have used you guys when my brakes (rear) went out the other day.....
Let's just say that when you first hear the cardboard-on-cardboard sound coming from the brakes, take it in RIGHT THEN....Don't say "well....a few days from now will be better....I'll do it then".......
Barely made it home last Wednesday night....(10th?)......Had to tow it Thursday morn........By the time I'd gotten home Wednesday night, it was smoking like one of them mosquito foggers, and I had almost NO brakes at all.....The rain and wet road sure as hell didn't help any. At stoplights, I had to take it out of gear, because the tranny was overpowering the brakes!!!......Dangerous!!!!!
Basically, I destroyed it enough to warrant nearly a new rear-end---except for the axle.......
The brakes work real good now......

Brakes ain't no joke, Rick....THAT'S for sure! And I should know better.
What surprised me was the short lapse in time between the rear brakes making the 'noise', and the onset of the utter failure (about 5 or 6 days)........
Well....I've got good brakes now (did the front about a year ago)......But the 'cold one' woulda been nice....(haha).
