Ken had a major accident at his home a few years ago. As some of you may know Ken was already confined to a wheelchair due to a trucking accident back in the 80's. He required a number of surgeries to repair even more damage.

The reason he moved to Pomona was to be near the rehab facility where the ...

During the MBBS/WG heydey there was a guy in Ohio who's name I don't remember offhand except that his first name was Robert, who put together a service where he had quite a few of the games on a few powerful servers and WG sysops could buy subscriptions for his service and they would be allowed to ...

To fix this error just shut down the wg service or stop the application. Reboot the machine and then go in and delete the galssc2.dat file and then run wg again. It will recreate the file and all will be well.

This thread had rambled all over the place so I'm going to ask a question that is vaguely related to my original question that started this thread.

Our HAM club has a website that I put up for them and I using WG to add an interactive portion to the website. The WG server will be in a completely ...

Thanks again, more dumb questions!

Can the WG web server use css? I doubt it but thought I would ask. Can I use flash on the pages?

I've totally forgotten how to edit menus and add and remove menu items, is there somewhere with a tutorial or can I get a brief explanation. Once I get to it I will ...

I'm glad to hear that because I'm about to put up another WG system and this one will be on one of my unused Win2003 Server machines!

THanks for the reply but I think you misunderstood my question. It was not about the IN in front of the email addy but about using the smarthost. I think I'm going to deal with more critical issues right now such as dumping the website and doing something with it that doesn't make lunch come up when ...

I would like to just trash the stock html section and start over. I am thinking of putting together new pages and then just using the sizing and referencing for the various sections the user goes to like, tele, or chat or whatever. Essentially I would just be using the stock code for plunking in the ...

My name is Mike Herrera and I started my first bbs in August of 1981 in Los Angeles. It was named Access One and it ran on an Apple ][. We started out using a simple piece of software called Networks, it basically answered the phone and had one board on it. I had user who had a software company and ...

We are using WG3.3 for our local amateur radio club. I haven't work with WG is quite a few years so I'm probably going to need a lot of help in certain areas so, first off, thanks in advance!!

My internet company (which I own) has its own mail server and it is the only server allowed to receive or ...

I ran MajorBBS and then Worldgroup for quite a few years and decided to put it back up to use for our local Ham club. I'm installing it on an XP machine, 4gigs ram, 3mhz cpu and 1 terabyte of drive space.

I installed it to c:\wgserv but when I try to launch it it comes up with the following error ...
