Hi Choi, While you are checking on the "Flag" functions can you consider looking at a function that would give off an automatic message when someone uses the "contact the placer" function. It would...

The Rule of Letterboxing

Started by Angi (ShutterflyIL@aol.com) | 5 messages | First message: 2005-11-02 | Last message: 2005-11-03
I very well could have been spending my morning, waiting to get a call from the substitute caller, doing something productive. Instead, I spent my time reading the many LBNA messages posted in the...

Started by Pete and Erin (jiggs111@earthlink.net) | 1 message | First message: 2005-11-02
Let me clarify - we (Clan Jiggs) have NEVER listed any box LB, PLB, HH etc as our own that we didnt create. Those HH that were passed on to Wanda and Pete were always credited to the originator....

Or the more things change the more they stay the same. I find it highly amusing to see that the list is maintaining its long history of highly-charged disagreements. Look back over the many years...

Letterboxing.org and IPR

I've been on this list for about a month and it seems that all anyone does is argue--should stamps in boxes be handcarved, should we publically recognize someone's contribution to letterboxing,...

That's just the way we like letterboxing.org. We'd prefer it without all the finicky tweakings and workarounds. There's a quote in the faq that says Q: How do I keep track of which letterboxes or...
