Today's Score oddness

Post by iclark »

I remember seeing the "Today's Score" thread when it first started and the poster info was normal. when someone added to it today, the original poster info seems to be gone.

what happened?

anyone know what is going on with the SSUG site?

it was giving me bad-SQL when I tried to access it last week and now it seems to be a suspended account.

I do knot know "why", but the "what" is the member changed his name, and if you go to his public profile, you will see zero information. Something/someone must have ticked him off.

Let me start by saying I applaud any and all who honor and give discounts to veterans.

But this week after reading on here and in a few other forums about Lowe's discount I gave it a try taking my DD214. I was told "we will give it to you this time but you must have an ID card from now on." So yesterday I spent about 3 1/2 hours and 180 miles to be told by the VA I earn too much money and can't have an ID card.

So I am not sure how I feel about this, but am left with a slight bitter taste in my mouth over it.

Update: Received a flyer in the mail from Lowe's today "10% discount with proof of military service today through Monday " Hope that means DD214, they just got the Rockwell Jawhorse in the local store.

Hope they either change their mind(or a different 'manager' is on duty)!

Good Luck!!!:)

If your talking about the attachments in the first post going to a lost link page I notice that too.:confused: Don't know what happened but it looks like the attachments were deleted either by the person posting them or the administrator.

Past history is quite adequate! I know of no other member of this forum who is in the habit of changing their forum name!

I have never made a habit of changing my screen name! I did try to close my account, however once you join, apparrently you cannot close an account. Nor can you change your screen name!
