With considerable help from Mr. Ball I'm in like flint -finally. He had to send me a temp. password via his email, the software links do not work yet. BTW, I cleared everything from my FF browser, no joy.. My old password was still in the FMCA system??? All is well now.

richard5933 Report post Posted October 21, 2020 I had to remove all the cookies for FMCA from my browser, and then log into the main FMCA.com website first. Once my member dashboard opened, I was able to follow the links to the forum. There does appear to be something wrong with the forum itself, where the page doesn't present a link to log in anymore. It defaults to creating an account but doesn't have one for logging in. At least on my side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rayin Report post Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) When I click on the login block at top right of the main https://FMCA.com/ it goes to the page where login is on left on right is signup for FMCA. The wrinkles are smoothing out as we go along though. I deleted everything as Wayne suggested and I could login after Mr. Ball sent me a temporary password. Oddly enough when i went to change that temporary password, my original password was still there even though it wouldn't get me logged in. Ah the mysteries of the internet, it does exactly what it is told, no more no less. Edited October 21, 2020 by rayin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rehab is very important, i approached it as if my life depended on it, and it really does. The therapists in rehab were reminding me every session to slow down a bit, as my heart rate and BP climbed too high for safety. Now I'm ready to go hiking and shed this 20# I've gained in the last 9 months of staying home. That was in 2005, my heart is very healthy for being 78, with 3 extra-long stents a few years after the quad-bypass. My best to you! Thank you Ray.

However, I fear you are going to be very wrong. Viruses don't typically watch the calendar, and if this were truly a conspiracy theory thing all put on for the upcoming election, how would you explain the problems with it in the rest of the world?

manholt Report post Posted October 27, 2020 Politics aside. IMHO, I feel that Covid will go away, not permanently, but in the same way as Bird Flu, Swine Flu, H1N1 and the other viruses have in the past 99 years! Actual death from Covid, no other underlying problems, is 6% or about 14,000+/-! H1N1 was 14,000+/- ! To put it into perspective, how many die each year from cancer, heart problems, car accidents and other accidents or just the common cold or flu, old age? I don't even want to think about "Late Term" abortion! Your right Richard, it's a World wide thing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayin Report post Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Question; what will happen to the Yahoo groups content Dec. 15 when Yahoo discontinues this function?

Ray, we knew a few months ago Yahoo was shutting down "groups," and we migrated over to Google Groups. Works well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rfsod48 Report post Posted October 27, 2020 I don’t think Covid 19 will go away anytime soon. We have less than 3% of our population who have acquired the disease, in order to get community (herd) immunity we need 60-70% of population with antibodies. Until we have a viable vaccine which the population will accept and use many more people will be infected. Fortunately we have learned much about the disease in a short time and the recovery rate is good and death rate is low. This disease is serious, it is now number 3 on the list of cause of death so we can’t ignore it but we can’t let It destroy our economy and country. I am glad to hear that Texas is still open with safety measures in place. Bill we will be staying at Southern Oaks Luxury RV park thru march and then we are going to Castroville to Alsatian RV park for April. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray, it is not automatic. You have to sign up for Google Groups. I'm not sure if any of the substance on Yahoo can be migrated, but we started out on Google Groups without stuff that was on Yahoo. I have an email client, not web mail, and as such anything I want to keep is on my computer. With web mail I don't think you can do that. There are so many free email clients that run "stand-alone" on computers. I use Apple Mail. Over a decade ago I ran Outlook, and Thunderbird. Outlook came with MS Windows. It is pricey now as a single purchase. Thunderbird is a free open-source download and would be my choice of clients. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
