I've never visited SDC outside of late Spring, Summer, or early Autumn, so I have to ask: how does all this lighting fit with the theme? I know the obvious answer, which is that it doesn't fit with 1880 at all, but does anyone care?

^I logged in to the forums then clicked on "Main Site" and it didn't recognize me as logged in.  I then clicked to go to the forums and it showed me as a guest, but at the bottom of the page it showed me as one of the users that is logged in.  So I clicked on my name and it took me to my profile.  Then from my profile I clicked on "Home" and only then did it recognize me as logged in.  Sorry this is such a pain, Steve!

Exact same thing I observed. Clicking "main site" from my profile still didn't show me as logged in. (Firefox 3.0.3, MacOS X 10.4.9)

I haven't followed this thread closely, so I'm curious... what is the purpose of being logged in from the front page or main site? I agree that it's valuable as the "face" of the site for new visitors, but I only come to the forums. The only time I visit the main site is if someone points out a new article to read. Otherwise, I enter here (with "forever" as my logged-in option):

Well, the Cubs are out. Brewers hang on to play another day.

Go Dodgers!

As for the playoffs, I'm rooting for the Dodgers and Phillies in the NL and the Angels and Rays in the AL.

I thought a cross-town Series in Chicago would be great, but it doesn't look like either team is going to make it. I really hate the CWS, but it would make for a great Series. I'm a Cards fan, but just for the sake of baseball history, I'd like to see the Cubs win it all. Once every hundred years is just about right for them. 

My second choice would be the Dodgers, just to show the Steinbrenners that Joe Torre is better at baseball than they are.

Or Mike Rowe.

Hey, are there any notable "dirty jobs" at SDC?

Genesis (that's the cow's name) is having routine maintenance performed on her.

Where I come from, servicing a milk cow usually involves a bull.

If WWB was right next door to SDC, so that we could park once and visit both, I would probably give in if the kids wanted to get wet. But as it is, no, sorry, we're not driving down to the strip and fighting traffic.

I just saw their printed catalog, and they have an authentic DUKW, unaltered from original military configuration, in their upcoming (and final) auction.

I wanted to link to that, but they didn't have it on their site.

I'm also glad the Yankees will miss the playoffs.

This is why I live for baseball.

Bringing up the Cardinals again... is it just me, or do we seem to keep getting beat up by ex-Cards?

Suppan... Edmonds... Marquis... and now Eckstein too!

Doing some rearranging in the house.  I found old video tapes of the Timothy Turnbuckle show, an old Saloon show, and the Hoedown at the Gaslight Theater.  WOW....memories.

Well don't just sit there, get busy converting them to digital and post 'em on youtube!

Let me add my appreciation that you keep this a lean-and-fast site. I see way too many forums that seem to think everyone has the latest-and-greatest hardware, and are running Windows and IE.

Hint for other administrators: if your site requires, or even "works best with" IE or Windows, your site is broken. Fatally broken. If you wrote it with FrontPage and host it on a Windows server, your future as an admin is fatally broken.

And if anyone is curious why this is an issue for me, it's because I use Firefox in a 9 year old Mac running 10.4. I have no problem on well-designed sites, but others are unusable.

I have never seen the inside, but I always thought it was a gaudy monstrosity totally out of character for the Ozarks.
