Over the next few days She Grew! will undergo some significant changes.  

On Saturday, the board will be unavailable for at least an hour beginning around noon EST.  I will be moving it from a phpBB installation to a Simple Machines Forum installation.  The layout will change substantially, but your user ids, posts, etc will not be altered.  

After a day or two has gone by without incident, She Grew! will go dark at this location.  I will shut down the board, back up the database, and open it up fresh a day or two later as the core of the new message boards at Amaz0ns.com.  Your user ids will all migrate over.  For those of you who already have user ids at Amaz0ns, I have no idea what will happen, but it shouldn't be too hard to put right.  That said, if you haven't already created a sign on at Amaz0ns, hold off on doing so until this process is done.

With the new system I'll be able to allow file and picture uploads.  I've already set up a story archive at Amaz0ns, though thus far there are only two stories in it.  :-)  One nice example is that, if I've set it all up right, the story archive and the forum will interoperate.  So when someone adds a new story, they can include a line of code in the story that will automatically create a new message board thread upon submission of the story.  

I think you'll all mostly like the changes.  Thanks for your patience.

OK, it looks like the move was successful.  Please let me know here if you have any significant problems. 

(Avatar problems are not considered significant - 200 x 300 is top end, and even that will exceed the site layout.)

Well, it's just the default template.  I'll make changes down the road but not right away.  I'm just glad that it seems to be working.

With the Site Move you announced a Story Archive.

I assume that is why FMG Stories is no longer a main menu item.

My question is: How do I get to the Story Archive?

OOPS! My automatic login did not work on the new site.
Once I loged in everything was fine. Apparently Guest Access does not show the story boards.

Thanks, Erik
