I checked out Wild Rose Press also, Karin. There doesn't appear to be any men working for/associated with them but I would feel comfortable submitting a novel. They do indeed have a good reputation in the industry.

Oh, I'm well aware of the difference between HTTP and HTTPS. A lot of people don't realize that even something as big as Facebook has both a HTTP and an HTTPS connection available. Depending on what URL you use to access the site (this and most others), you get either a non-secure or a crypto-covered connection.

Sol's answer is probably the right one. It takes a while for a given URL to be propagated throughout the DNS servers. Until it is fully disseminated, you get security glitches if your browser is looking for a HTTPS and all it can find is HTTP.

Has this project moved along any further, Darla? Just wondering.

Check you computer time. Sometimes, when it cannot get the correct time from the Internet, it will make security certificates seem to be expired. Just a shot in the dark, though.

Treat it like a government project, Max. You know, get nine women pregnant and have a baby in a month.

I am convinced that Hollywood has used up all the original plots, which is why they keep remaking (usually to the film's detriment) classic films. Only a couple of them (Szbrina comes to mind) have made the grade. Otherwise the rest of the remakes are terrible. I don't plan on watching the remake of Ben Hur. The worst failure, in my opinion, was Rollerball. Nothing beats James Caan.

And another one:

dagnee has created new topic 'Washington Post Article part 2' in forum to which you are subscribed.

"Not Authorized".

I just received another email notification that led me to "Not Authorized".

What is the point of emailing notification that I can't see? Can't the mailing daemon be taught to check the membership of a given forum before sending out notifications? Here is what the email contains:

"bimmy has created new topic 'How it feels to be writing a novel. ...' in forum to which you are subscribed."

Note the phrase "...to which you are subscribed." Doesn't that mean I should be authorized to see the forum post?

I thought it was just temporary, but now that you mention it, I am also seeing huge delays when adding a comment. I can highlight the word/phrase and the popup appears right away, but then I fill the edit frame in and click OK, it might take as long as five or six seconds to post properly.

This happens on Windows and Linux (Ubuntu 16.04.01).

Other delays are found when I try to send a PM. I enter the captcha and click Send, but most of the time it will fail after a long pause (around 10 seconds), making me enter a new captcha.

I don't know if I'd even have noticed it. For 3 years I lived in Japan and they get almost a quake/tremor a day there.

I would imagine that most modeling agencies would be in the Garment District. That's an area between 34th and 42nd Streets (N/S) and 5th and 10th Avenues (E/W).  There are loads of cheap hotels clustered around West Village and Greenwich Village. I've been there a few times, but stayed with friends in the Upper West Side (110th and Riverside).
