Happy Valentines Day Old Machine Lovers.  Pink may not be your thing, and this theme won't be here too long, if you wish it gone sooner, at the bottom left of each page is a Change Theme link, click and select "Cambridge 3.4.6" and you'll get Mom's old theme back.

I can take it for a short time and as a reminder to appreciate those I love. Thanks for all your work

Welcome to My Old Machine.
 
First place for you to begin is to introduce yourself in our introductions area Here you can tell us a little bit about yourself, what kinds of machines you have and maybe a little about where you live.  
 
You can then add yourself to our member map and check out other members who may live close to you.  You never know, there may be another MoM member right next door.
 
Have a technical Forum question? Ask it here in our Site Suggestions / Updates & Issues area.  No one is born with the knowledge how to do things on the forum, and no question is stupid.  In most cases, if you have a question, there are others with the same question as well, so PLEASE ask, you'll be helping those who don't ask.

Man there's a lot of pictures on RS!

This Saturday, May 16th, RedSquare will be going through a software upgrade.  As most of you are aware, MoM and RedSquare are sister sites and share the same physical computer server.  While this upgrade will not affect MoM, there may be periods of time where response time is sluggish simply because of the shared environment.
 
RedSquare members, like what you see here?  Please sign up, be glad to have you here as well, but remember this is for ALL machinery, not JUST Wheel Horses
 
Now for the question you may be thinking...  YES, MoM will be upgraded to the same software as well.  Originally I wanted MoM to be first because it's smaller than RedSquare, but the forum skin for RedSquare was done before MoM's (which hasn't been updated yet).  So after the upgrade pop over there and take a look because when everything is sorted, MoM is next

Things are going well, just slow!  I highly doubt it'll be 10:00 either.
 


I suppose that I could allow everyone back on, BUT there's so much that's not right until these things get completed.

Post processing still going, unfortunately it went faster on the test machine, I was hoping for the opposite.

Upgrade is complete, post processing running.  This is the longest step all we can do is wait
 
Stepping out for a few....  see ya soon!

Thank you Neil, and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your mom.  

Hope you enjoy our Halloween theme, but I know it's not for everyone so if you choose, select the "Change Theme" link at the bottom left of most pages to select the skin you prefer.
 
Have a safe Halloween!  Boo!

We've passed the 10,000 post mark today!  Congratulations MoM!

Questions about the forum or it's functioning can never rock the boat.  I'm here to help you take full advantage of the forum and if something isn't working help get it resolved or understood.
 
We use a purchased software which is highly customizable, BUT there aren't any options to alert members when their attachment space is reaching capacity, I wished that there would be it would certainly resolve some frustration.  
 
With the addition of the Gallery however, it will be easier to see when members approach the 40 picture limitation. 
 
Again, no rocking the boat, we do our best to insure that the forum is highly available whether or not you're a supporter.   For more information on the supporter program see here
