Concern for the Board
As you are aware, Lovemyipad has been absent for a while. She is the sole administrator of this Board (AFB).
Several members are have contacted me with issues accessing the Board. I cannot help. Fixing the issue(s) requires Administrator action.
For security reasons, ProBoards requires the existing Administrator to grant Administrator privileges to any new administrator(s).
This leaves us in a pickle.
We must either locate Lovemyipad or restart the Board. We could, presumable, continue as is, but one wonders whether the gradual falloff in participation is a related to lack of administrator action.
If you have any ideas for contacting Lovemyipad, please try. That is clearly the best path forward as it allows us to retain our rich history of posts.
In the interim, if any of you are familiar with setting up a Board, the rest of us would all appreciate some education. It is my understanding that we cannot 'copy' the current board contents to a new board. I personally loath the idea of moving the Board. I do not want to lose the history or additional participants through such a transition.
Strongly recommend that we maintain at least 3 administrators in the future -- 1 primary and 2 backups. Also that administrators share, at least amongst themselves, offline contact information.
Please share your thoughts and suggestions.
***
This should not be construed as action against Lovemyipad. Her posts and involvement are greatly missed. Many of us would like to see her return. Life changes and AFB may no longer be a priority. This is a desire to sustain AFB in her absence.

I signed up and sent her a message. It certainly seems like it could be her.

I signed up but that site is a scam, they want $20 a month to email back n' forth. Any way I sent her a brief message asking if she had any connection with AFB and we need her help.

I vaguely recall Lovemyipad mentioning that Robert over at Braeburn assisted her with getting this Board up and running. If someone has Robert's contact info he may be able to connect us as well.
At this point its worth following any lead we might have.
Thanks everyone for your help. Especially those of you who signed up at Match.com. Let us know how the date goes... 😜

LOL that's not Lovemyipad. She's a beautiful young married Indian woman. And she is missed here. Anyway, thought I'd pop in and remind you all to BUY THE F---ING DIP!!!

Let us know how the date goes... 😜 Robert is a regular contributor on the comments section at PED’s newish site. If anyone is a member, I’m sure it’d be easy to connect with him. Also, there’s a woman who occasionally comments who seems a lot like LovemyIpad - a lot of old AFB folk comment there. It may be worth pinging her - she’s of the only female contributors there - apologies I don’t recall her name.

These caught my eye. appleinsider.com/articles/18/07/30/apple-hires-developer-of-virtual-reality-painting-app-amid-push-into-arvr"Apple's new hire falls in line with rumors that claim the company is working on its own branded VR headset, codenamed T288, and "rOS" operating system. Backed by major investments in a growing team of hardware and software engineers, the rumored VR solution represents a departure from Apple's core product line."appleinsider.com/articles/18/07/30/apple-pay-may-account-for-half-of-mobile-wallet-users-by-2020"By 2020, the "OEM pay" market — meaning platforms like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay — should hit 450 million users, Juniper Research said. The firm specifically noted it's expecting half of these people to be using Apple Pay, despite the broader global popularity of Android phones.
"We believe that growth over the next five years will continue to be dominated by offerings from the major OEM players," wrote Juniper's Nitin Bhas. "Additionally, we now have the likes of Huawei Pay and Fitbit Pay launching in several markets; this is now included in Juniper's contactless forecasts.""

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little spooked, but only because I have some tech positions ATM and we've had enough red tech days! If AAPL misses all of tech will get whacked again. NASDAQ needs some good news! It's kind of paradoxical when you think about it; most of the FAANGs are competitors in one way or another, but when a couple of their stocks get whacked, they all come down. From a stock perspective, you almost have to root for them all - unless you want dips to buy, of course.
