Not going to go digging the bowels of the internet to find something that should be simple to find. Cached pages on search engines don't stay cached forever. They aren't the internet archives way back machine. A convoluted solution to a simple problem.

But since we are on the topic of site updates, when are you going to update your homepage? The 90s called, they want their internet design back. Bandwidth isn't much of a concern these days. I moved up to a small mountain town where I have no cell data, but have internet that rivaled what I had when I lived in a big city. You don't even need to go to something like WordPress, just an actual unified page layout across all sub-pages. It takes no extra bandwidth or server overhead to implement css to handle page style and formatting. And once you make your one css file, all you have to do is link each page to that and it will auto format everything for you.

Yeah I hear ya, almost everything is in the write ups that's why I didn't see any need to restore any of the old stuff.

I updated the homepage a couple months ago. Bandwidth is still a major concern for me as I've been in areas of the world where I have slower than even 56k speeds lol. I also run it offline from my sd card so it has to be portable and small. Yeah word press is horrible that's what we use on our other site it takes up a significant amount of bandwidth. I have been using css since the beginning. The pages I want linked to it already are.

I'm grateful that you're still making time to manage this by yourself. I don't care how the site looks as long as I can access information that I need. Plus, anything I can't figure out, you've always been there to answer. I appreciate your time and effort.

Long cold winter. if the salt gets washed away it will be time to get back to tuning. Any way to get back PM status and a link to a tuning thread? There wasn't much in the old tuning thread, as we just got started. We can start a new thread if it's easier. I managed to download your 2nd bin before the crash, but weather and family issues have kept me from using it yet.
