			<link>http://swgfa.com/topic/1272/t/The-SWGFA-Mailing-List-Email-address.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ We have a new email address, <a href="mailto:SWGFA77@gmail.com">SWGFA77@gmail.com</a>, from which you'll be receiving periodic news about the SWGFA regarding our gatherings and the forums and blog. On rare occasions we'll mail all members of this forum from Yuku, but since people change their addresses from time to time I wanted to put it out there so you can add or remove your name and also potentially put our address into your "safe senders" lists. This email address will never be used for outside companies for marketing or research and&nbsp;we don't need any particular details from you to be added to our mailing list. You may wish to send us your name, but that's entirely up to you. <br><br>In the future it's possible we may develop mailing lists for particular tracks like Collecting or Costuming or something, but this will be an opt-in type of thing that would be mentioned in advance here and/or in a newsletter. We do anticipate sending something out in the next few days and... ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[ Chris Wyman, A New Administrator ]]></title>
			<link>http://swgfa.com/topic/1083/t/Chris-Wyman-A-New-Administrator.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ After a full year of participation on these boards, Chris will now be adding his message board expertise and Administrative experience to the SWGFA, promoted
from his moderator duties. In this period leading up to Celebration V in our own backyard we hope to make the boards more useful and make the SWGFA better than
ever.
<br>
<br>
Thanks, Chris, for the time and energy you&#39;ve spent making our group a whole. I don&#39;t really know how you do it all, but I&#39;m glad you&#39;re on my
team! ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[ Tinkering with the Message Boards ]]></title>
			<link>http://swgfa.com/topic/1079/t/Tinkering-with-the-Message-Boards.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ In hopes of getting some new members leading up to Celebration V next August I&#39;m trying to tweek the boards for easier use. Today I changed the order of a
few Forums, re-classed the Orlando System, Tampa SW Club, and Treasure Coast SW Club Discussions as subforums under the Alliance Discussion heading, and
combined the Music and TV section with the Music section to make the Entertainment Section. Please let me know what you think of these changes and feel free to
make suggestions for further improvements.   
<hr>

<br>
<font size="1">changed the title of this thread to be more descriptive. I&#39;m certain no one got the reference to the original Star Wars novel. Han Solo
describes how he likes to tinker on the Falcon. I&#39;m so very glad that was not a line in the film. -s</font> ]]></description>

			<link>http://swgfa.com/topic/954/t/Welcome-PORT-SAINT-LUCIE-Star-Wars-Club-.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ It&#39;s with great enthusiasm that I announce that the Port St. Lucie Star Wars Club has joined us in the Grand Florida Alliance. This is the next step in
making this a group welcoming all Florida fans. Special thanks to Rich Sledziewski for hosting their first two meetings and working to get the fans together.
Welcome one and all. ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[ The Return of the Chatroom ]]></title>
			<link>http://swgfa.com/topic/890/t/The-Return-of-the-Chatroom.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ We&#39;d lost the chatroom since this board changed from ezBoards to Yuku. I&#39;ve added it back in. It&#39;s currently beneath the Boardroom Discussion
sections for both Orlando and Tampa. Let me know if you&#39;ve got different ideas of where it should be and if you&#39;d like to see any changes. ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[ Welcome TAMPA Star Wars Club! ]]></title>
			<link>http://swgfa.com/topic/883/t/Welcome-TAMPA-Star-Wars-Club-.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ It&#39;s with great enthusiasm that I announce that the Tampa Star Wars Club will be joining us here in these forums. How we manage this is a work-in-progress,
but a definite alliance is being forged which will unfold further in the upcoming months. Orlando fans, this can only help us grow and stimulate a stronger
network. Tampa fans, I&#39;m so glad to welcome you and hope you&#39;ll find the boards useful. Special thanks to your President Chris Wyman who&#39;s been
instrumental in Tampa and even national fandom and brings as much or more energy and expertise to the table as anyone around. Welcome one and all. ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[ OS Calendar ]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[ Check out the bottom of the main page for a calendar marking special events, birthdays, and anniversaries. I&#39;d like to have this shown on top, but I&#39;ve
not figured out how to put it up there yet.
<br>
<br>
Also, look for a link on top of the forums called &quot;Forum Jump&quot; which allows you to check other sections without backing out of the one you are
browsing. It took many months, but I&#39;m finally seeing some advantages of Yuku. ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[ Edit Your Posts ]]></title>
			<link>http://swgfa.com/topic/362/t/Edit-Your-Posts.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Several members have noted that they were not able to edit in some sections. I've fixed that mostly, but if you happen to run into a thread or section that you can't edit, let me know (via PM, e-mail, or in the Announcement Commentary thread in this section) and I'll get that fixed. Naturally, this will only apply to your own posts, but everyone should be able to correct their own typos! ]]></description>

Please don't take it personally if she smites you.
