  • We're still working out some of the bugs of the new format. Let us know what you like/don't like. This annoying problem with posting will be worked out momentarily. I didn't think we made any changes in the forum type size, but I'll doublecheck. …
  • No, I don't think we did. However, you can do it on your own: In Internet Explorer, go to the View pull-down menu (at the top of the screen) and pull down to "Text size." Change to whatever you want. Brad Forrister Director of Publishing M. Lee …
  • We're just trying to give you some little mini-vacations in other states. No, seriously, we've noticed a few issues with the state identifications, and we're trying to fix them. Sorry for mis-identifying you. Brad Forrister Director of Publishin…
  • Don -- I have no idea. Can you or your IT folks send me one? If not, are you able to tell enough from the report that you can determine what kind of email it is? Brad Forrister Director of Publishing M. Lee Smith Publishers
  • Bad news: Once you've started it, you can't stop it until the thread dies down - which most do within a day or two. You might try setting up a filter on your email software so that it filters the replies to a folder for you. Brad Forrister Direct…
  • >(1) What if I paid for my own former subscription and don't care to >have the old company bootleg off my subscription? If it's your subscription, you certainly get to keep it. But then, why did you end up with a new account? >(2) Wh…
  • Don, The IDs and passwords for the Subscriber Area and for Employers Forum can be the same, but they don't have to be. This may be one of those reasons why they shouldn't be. Here's the FAQ language: [url]http://www.hrhero.com/employersforum/Emp…
  • Absolutely possible. We'll even take edited versions, if the post-er wants to make the document a bit more anonymous. I guess the easiest way to accomplish this is to email the document to [email]webeditor@mleesmith.com[/email], along with some …
  • Actually, I think you can do it yourself, but it's a two-step process. First, from the Forum "lobby," click on the User icon. Choose "Modify your account information." That's where you change your email address (and mention your three-mile commut…
  • Christy came by a couple of days ago to check in and to show off Cole. He's on about a two-hour sleeping cycle, so she's not getting a lot of sleep. Brad Forrister Director of Publishing M. Lee Smith Publishers
  • The newsletter archive is behind the password. On the home page, you'll see a set of links in the upper right hand corner that say "Login," "For Employment Law Letter Subscribers," and "Subscriber Login." Click any one of them. You'll have to s…
  • Helpful note: If you've come to the "How To Use Employers Forum" folder to find out how to post, and you've read Christy's helpful explanation above, remember to change to a different folder before you click the Post icon. Unless, of course, your …
  • Well, we, of course, think there's a lot of benefit in subscribing - the monthly state-specific newsletter, the HR Answer Engine, the state and federal rules and regs, the policies, HR Special Reports, and other things that you get behind the passwo…
  • My grandfather had a similar recipe, except that it involved encasing the fish in a fresh cow pie, baking, then throwing away the fish and eating what remained. Brad Forrister VP/Content M. Lee Smith Publishers
  • Actually, Grand Marnier is 50% cognac and 50% premium triple sec. For the premium triple sec without the cognac bite, go for Cointreau. Brad Forrister Director of Publishing M. Lee Smith Publishers
  • Ray, We're sorry to see you go. You've been a valuable part of the community. Good luck, and come back when you can. Brad Forrister VP/Content M. Lee Smith Publishers
  • Back in college, I got a frantic call from my girlfriend at about 2 a.m. Something was beeping in her apartment, and she couldn't find it. She was convinced it was aliens. I went over to her apartment, in an old historic apartment building that h…
  • Gene, This didn't sound right to me either, so I had our folks check into it. The event starts Thursday morning, as you said, so Wednesday night should be covered at the $239 conference rate (and, of course, Thursday night). We didn't originall…
  • I hate to be a quibbler here, but "homeopathic" and "natural remedies" aren't the same thing. Homeopathy refers specifically to a class of remedies that were developed based on the idea that symptoms of a disease can be cured by minute amounts of a…
  • What was the third version? Brad Forrister VP/Content M. Lee Smith Publishers
  • Much of this is true, but a few of them are false. Lincoln had two male secretaries, one named John Hay and the other Nicolay. I think no one's ever produced any evidence of a Kennedy. (I think I first heard this part back in the mid-1960s.) The…
  • It's a little unclear from the stories exactly what kind of research is at issue. Judges and their clerks do rely on Westlaw and Lexis, which are delivered these days largely over the Internet. Certainly a Supreme Court justice is entitled to do …
  • >Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' room >during a dance. Apparently not so: [url]http://www.snopes.com/history/world/churchill.asp[/url] Brad Forrister VP/Content M. Lee Smith Publishers
  • And every time this kind of list circulates, my daughter reminds me that "doorhinge" rhymes with "orange." Okay, sort of. Brad Forrister VP/Content M. Lee Smith Publishers
  • Naah. I used that term way before 1975. Brad Forrister VP/Content M. Lee Smith Publishers
  • I like the handbook idea. But since it's an all-party consent law, you'd also have to put in one of those automatic announcement systems that says, "Your conversations with members of this family may be monitored for quality assurance, and to make …
  • Does the fact that the hen is "red" indicate that the hen is a socialist? Or from a red state? Brad Forrister VP/Content M. Lee Smith Publishers
  • I enjoyed both the Phoenix Art Museum and the Heard Museum on a recent trip. And Scottsdale has some fun restaurants and music clubs (okay, honkytonks) if you've got time post-sundown. Brad Forrister VP/Content M. Lee Smith Publishers
  • Rhubarb is a vegetable? I'd classify it as a weed. And there are a bunch of edible weeds that unfortunately don't have to be planted annually - including poke sallet and dandelion. Brad Forrister VP/Content M. Lee Smith Publishers
  • If you click on that little head icon between the flying document and the tiny computer, it shows the person's name, if the person has made their profile public. You can change your profile preferences by clicking on the "user" icon in the forum lo…
