Thanks, Rich. I just sent you a PM. You might check to see if you received it, as well as look for a notification it was there. In the old days active unread PMs had notifications at the top of the screen. Is that still the case?
Got your message through my aol account, not through here. Clicking on the message brought me back here to my inbox with all my previous PMs saved. Don't know how to access the inbox from here yet, but it does exist. Sent you a PM through here.

It's like Alice in Wonderland here, and any moment I expect the Mad Hatter to show up.
Have PMs been eliminated?
It appears we can still send PMs since the box appears in the member's profile. However, who knows what happened to anyone's saved PMs?

This **** is hilarious! Go to the members tab, click on "past leaders," and you get to see who won the gold, silver, and bronze medals for that day. I'm getting aroused now.

To paraphrase Nancy Pelosi, "we have to upgrade the boards to see what's in them."

I can't see my user name on the upper right part of the screen that tells me I'm signed in. This means I can't sign out.
There's no feature to "Like" another post
None of us can see our user names where they used to be, and we are all signed in forever until TCM figures this out. As for the "like" feature, we are seeing giant emoticons in everyone else's posts (but not our own), and one of them is a "like" emoticon. If you can't see any of these emoticons in anyone's posts, you might consider yourself lucky at this point.

Is there any way to change the default settings so the newest post is at the top, like it used to be?
Not that I can tell.

somehow I made a post and all those emojis were gone. What the heck? Are they reading my mind?
They don't appear in your own post, but others can see them in your post and click on them.

Others may have noticed this already, but I just realized that, when looking at the thread lists, if you click the time of the newest post (underneath the poster who left said post), it will take you directly to that post, where as if you click the thread title you'll start at the oldest post.
If you leave your cursor on the thread title for a few moments, a box opens which gives you the choice of viewing the oldest post or the newest post. The oldest post appears to be the default setting in the box.

You are over 5700. Click on the members tab and explore a little bit.

Hey, Dargo, what is your "community reputation?" Mine says 3019. I wonder if that is good or bad. Actually, I wonder if it's prime.
Damn, it is prime. Well, I had a minute to kill.

If you go to your profile, you get a list of people who "reacted" to your posts. Of course, you could also just scroll up and down to check in your spare time, since apparently we cannot sign out of this black hole.
And apparently there is no way to clear that list from your profile.

Apparently I am signed in as well, although there is no confirmation of that except my ability to post.
So I would just like to say, really nice job TCM, you have outdone yourselves this time. I've seen enough already to say that the upgrade sucks.

The Great White Trail (1917) youtube
Crazy romance/adventure/tearjerker-type plot involving mistaken identities, coincidences, missed chances, and the most ridiculous sled chase I’ve ever seen.
A happily married couple (Doris Kenyon and Paul Gordon) end up on the rocks when Kenyon’s gambler-brother puts the bite on her to pay back money he owes her husband. Reading a half-burnt letter, Gordon thinks his wife is fooling around, and tosses her and their baby out of the house. The brother, meanwhile, falls to his death while trying to steal the family jewels from Gordon’s house. On his deathbed, he tells Gordon that Kenyon was not at fault. Gordon tries to locate Kenyon, who, after wandering around in a daze, hides the baby in a tree trunk and collapses in the woods. She is nursed back to health. Meanwhile, Lassie finds the baby and brings it to a minister (Thomas Holding), whose mother adopts the child. Are you following this?
Kenyon decides she is going to Alaska as a nurse. Holding decides he is going to Alaska to continue his ministry. Gordon, who reads an article about his wife (13 years after she disappeared) heads for Alaska as well. When Holding’s mother dies, the young girl heads for Alaska to see Holding.
Now last time I checked, Alaska is pretty big, but of course, they all end up in the same place. Among other misadventures, Gordon is cold-cocked by somebody called “The Vulture” and loses his memory, and after a few months pass (according to the title cards) he looks like the Ayatollah Khomeini. That may explain why his wife doesn’t recognize him every time she bumps into him. But not to worry. Gordon is later cold-cocked again, by the same guy, which causes him to regain his memory.
The climax features an unintentionally hilarious chase on dog sleds, with Gordon after “The Vulture” and Kenyon after the same guy, because he just snatched her daughter. Even though he is about 100 feet behind “The Vulture,” Gordon throws his rifle at him (I’ve never seen this happen in a film) and knocks him cold.
Upstate New York fills in for Alaska. The acting is okay for the most part. Lost in the shuffle is a one-scene performance by Edgar Davenport (brother of character actor Harry Davenport). This was his last film, and, as far as I can tell, his only existing film appearance. If you’re curious, you can hear his voice on several recordings available on youtube, as he was not only a famous stage actor, but also a monologist who recorded several short works of literature.
I had thought this was a lost film. Wishful thinking.

Cat-Women of the Moon (1953)
Directed by Arthur Hilton
(originally posted here: http://forums.tcm.com/index.php?/topic/25423-cat-women-of-the-moon-1953/)
This film was a pleasant surprise. Sure, it stinks, but it's fun, and not a bad way to spend a little over an hour.
Five assorted characters are on a rocket heading to the moon. They are led by Sonny Tufts. The word "actor" should never appear in the same sentence as "Sonny Tufts." He is simply horrible, possibly the lousiest I've ever seen. He is also the worst commander in the history of space, incapable of making decisions and being easily led astray. His "Bahston" accent does not help matters. Victor Jory, as "Kip," is the only person in the cast who i) acts, and ii) understands the plot. You know a film is in trouble when Jory is the one you are rooting for. Marie Windsor gets everyone else in trouble since the Cat-Women can control her mind. Rounding out the cast are Douglas Fowley as a guy looking to make a quick buck, William Phillips as a young schnook, and various babes playing Cat-Women. Each Cat-Woman is named after a greek letter; convincing proof that Archimedes was a moon-man.
The Cat-Women want to take over the Earth. You know, for a change, I wish we would let someone else take over this planet, and let them see how tough it is.For a low-budget film, the sets are decent. The moonscapes are interesting to look at, as are the interiors of the city where the Cat-Women live. Oddly enough, the worst part of this film (aside from Tufts) is Elmer Bernstein's score. Watch the scene where the Cat-Women dance. The music sounds like something from the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
This film was remade (sort of) as Missile to the Moon. In that film, there are rock creatures that look like Gumby.
The crew makes ready to leave the ship, while Marie Windsor prepares for her date with
the Man in the Moon.
"Do you think these clothes make my *** look fat?"
Um, folks ... you might want to check out that hairy thing with legs in front of you.
Victor Jory is initiated into Phi Beta Kappa.
William Phipps as the Man Who Loved Cat Dancing.
Douglas Fowley admires the plant growing out of this Cat-Woman’s head.
Victor Jory gets to make out with Marie Windsor. Yes, this is definitely science fiction.
