Interesting blog about Trevor Wozney, "The Angry UFOlogist", who apparently has one website to showcase his skills as a debunker and another one filled with stuff just waiting to be debunked.

A possibly precognitive dream


Members' dreams    No Replies

About a year ago I had an interesting dream. I usually only remember my dreams a couple of times a month, and they usually are slightly cartoony; I don't tend to dream of real people I know, but of slightly fantastical / science-fictional settings or 'alternate worlds' (ie cities and people that don

I see Alex has temporarily reactivated the deleted forums for 5 days...  they disappear again on Monday. What is the plan... are we cutting and pasting? Which is probably safer, but slower, or, is there an export/import going on? We don't have much time... the clocks ticking.

Nice interview with Peter Fenwick at TSC2017, it's always nice to hear him speak, and he's always adding to his own ideas on his end of life research.

He talks about new research on the experiences of those who are dying by Monika Renz in Switzerl

With this new forum, I feel that we have an opportunity to take a new (and may

The graphics design of the forum


Feedback and announcements    24 Replies

The forum looks good, in my mind, and seems to work well also.
A suggestion would be, if possible, to make the boarders between posts more distinct.

There are buttons at the top and the bottom of a post, and it can be difficult to see where they belong.

It was mentioned in another thread, but it bears repeating: the logo for the default theme of this site was designed and executed by Max_B. Speaking personally, I am thrilled with the job he's done. It is utterly professional, and he offered it as a gift, free of charge. Take a bow, Max, you have do

mobile friendly plans?

Max_B, 2017-08-15, 12:53 PM

It's not very nice to use on a mobile, lots of left right swiping to see content. Any plans to add a mobile friendly version/theme that is more 'inline'? Hear good things about WallBB on the MyBB support forums.

Nowadays I contribute casually, and read more from my phone, than I do from my deskto
