Greg,
the links to the BOM at the first post in this thread are fixed.
(be aware it is still the first version without any changes)
for the group diy mail account look in the meta meta, at the bottom there are instructions how to use it.
yes, I consolidated my communication contracts, with the result silentarts.net being down.
correcting all this links manually are a pain, but the important ones will actually move as time allows.
the same (pain & result) with cross linked postings issued to the forum software change.
