Invitation to join e-Budo.com

[Ken-Hawaii]

Aloha:

 

I would like to announce the grand reopening of the http://www.e-Budo.com Web-site. With a complete change of ownership (for disclosure purposes, I'm one of the new owners), the site has been completely upgraded & updated. If you use almost any weapon, from katana to .50-caliber sniper rifle, there's a forum for you to learn from & enjoy. A big difference is that we new owners & moderators are ready & willing to hear from you with suggestions & ideas on how to make the site even better.

 

I invite all of you to visit our new Web-site & to become members. I want to thank Brian for giving me the OK to post this message, & also for implementing so many good idea in NMB that we happily used in the e-Budo upgrade.

Ken,

 

maybe I am not well informed, but what has a sniper rifle to do with BUDO?

[Ken-Hawaii]

Well, I was outvoted when it came to keeping the Firearms forum under Personal Protection & Self-Defense, but as I'm an NRA Life Member, I admit that I didn't fight all that hard. It's actually quite an interesting & popular forum.

 

Take a look at http://www.e-budo.com/forum/showthread.php?52247-Systems-that-teach-the-gun for some basic insight.

sorry this is beyond my PC skills

Ah, the first glitch - congrats, Stephen! I just passed the error message to our two Administrators, one in Sweden & the other in Japan. There's almost always one of the two on-line, so I expect a quick resolution, & will let you know.

 

Gomen nasai!

Hi Ken:

Second glitch. My password was not accepted. I have reduced it to a simpler password but still not accepted. Help?

BTW the joining is quite involved.

[Ken-Hawaii]

Something is strange, Barry. The site shouldn't care what your password is at long as it is at least five characters in length. I went in & set up a new account in about 45 seconds.

 

What exactly are you seeing?

 

Ken

[Ken-Hawaii]

Barry, I just tried it again, this time using IE8 (the first time was with Firefox 24) - no problem at all. The first time, I used a 5-character password, & the second time, I one with 8 - no hiccups at all.

 

The reason we have a series of questions is because we just got finished laboriously deleting 24,800 bots, & we think our qualifying questions will minimize that from happening again.

Hi Ken,

 

Works just fine from this neck of the woods.

 

Cheers

Hi Ken:

It seems that it does not like capital letters in my user name. bhennick was accepted but not BHennick

[Ken-Hawaii]

Barry, my username on e-Budo is exactly the same as it is here on NMB - Ken-Hawaii - which includes capital letters. I'll pass along your observation, but not sure why there was a glitch. The underlying vBulletin (which I think Brian also uses) is pretty forgiving.
