Back when we did the whole change over to the new sober.com...I could have really used this info...but of course, none of knew what we were doing...It was just so good of you to help the newcomers this way. I give credit where credit is due...and you get a pat on the back.
CJlovestigger... I'm a work in progress
Just thought this info would be helpful for those Newcomers who are just logging on and would appreciate some direction (like I needed!). If anyone has ideas or recommendations for alterations, eliminations or additions ~ please let me know!
Thanks a bunch for the helpful information I am pretty new to the site and I appreciate the easy to follow instructions. ChristineB
