The Big Nickel Site Updates
for 2019
21 August, 2019
  • Added Volume 22, August 2019 Newsletter to the News page.
13 July, 2019
  • I've just discovered that there is an issue when attempting to email a Shipmate via the Crew Roster page.  Not sure what the problem is, but I'm working on resolving it. You can still receive email if you forgot your password.  Not sure how many of you use the Crew Roster to contact shipmates anyway.

  • Sadly added BTC Edward Warren Curtis (7/83 - 8/88) to the Taps page. 
13 June, 2019
  • I've updated the 2020 Reunion page with the Hotel Reservations button.  You can now make your room reservation directly on-line.
23 May, 2019
  • I will be moving the Crew Forums to the latest version of the software this coming Sunday, 26 May, 2019.  This is from Simple Machines and will be version SMF 2.1 RC2 (RC = Release Candidate).  I have been testing this new version for quite some time and as far as I can tell, it works fine, at least for what I/we use it for.  Once I've done the move, as always, if you have problems or issues, please let me know ASAP.

  • Updated the Bad Email List.  If you didn't get the Newsletter email from a couple of months ago or the recent email checking for bad emails, please check the Bad Email List to see if you're on it.  If you are, please contact me ASAP with your updated email address.
20 March, 2019
  • Have reset the 2020 Reunion information as well as the DDG-5 Crew Members Association iinformation.  Things have been recitified.
18 March, 2019
  • I have removed all information about the 2020 Reunion.  For information you'll have to contact Glenn Johnson.  I have also removed information about the DDG-5 Crew Members Association since the Executive Council no longer seems to be in control.
13 February, 2019
  • Added the 1975-1976 Med Cruise Book (Courtesy of EN3 Jerry Carauna (73-76)) to the Cruise Books page.
03 January, 2019
  • I have had to upgrade the PHP version on my server from 5.6 to 7.1, as version 5.6 has been deprecated and is no longer supported, unless I want to pay a monthly fee, which I'm not prepared to do.  If you're interested in what the effect of PHP is on the site, you can go here to read all about it.

  • In an attempt to make the newsletter more adaptable to the Non-US/British MMD shipmates, I have translated (I hope) the latest newsletter into German, Greek, Italian, The Netherlands, and Turkish.  Let me know if you are a Non-US/British shipmate if there errors in your particular translation.  I used MS Word translator so not sure how well things translated.
