No problems, my only concern was the confusion and hope he doesn't take credit for my posts..
Think positive. He might get some of the warnings or bans meant for you.
I think its high time private messages be enabled for everyone. This imho will help members sort out personal differences on board with other members or mods before things go out of control (I believe people behave and converse very differently in private as against on a Jingo forum where at times people tend to come across as arrogant and harsh just to make a point and be heard by everyone ) .As for the argument about people taking certain discussions offline well it should not be an issue as we know people do/can do that in any case.
I was looking forward to meet the who's who of BRF more than anyone else , but some of my 'chaddi' friends came down to my place hence could not make it.Hopefully we can plan something again in near future .
I was visiting Amazon today and there was a big splash about wishlists people had created over the past year. Given that On BRF we have a number of engineers who are good in their respective fields and also users who have on ground experience with various eqipment, can we in the MIL forum therefore, create wishlists for futuristic weapons, for example read up on available open source literature and then conjure a practical application for the theory. For example I was reading somewhere how UWB radars were used for scouring grounds in Bosnia for weapons.
It appears to me that new member Umrao Das is the same as John Snow, who used to be John Umrao, who used to be spinster
Are forum members allowed to have two identities? A mere change of name should reflect across all previous posts - but John Snow still exists on the database.
Note that others have been disallowed from having two identities.
if two identities are I would like an alternative identity as well.

If there is enough information on such weapons for a separate thread, go ahead and start one. In Econ forum we have a thread on leapfrog technologies; the Mil forum can have one of its own too. Just be sure it does not turn into hot air, we already have enough of that in the strat.
PS: shiv ji, you know well what we think about two identities. If it were for me, then any member with two identities would be banned permanently, on both their identities. But I think I am in minority on that one. Anyways, RahulM has banned John Snow.
Thanks archan but I was hoping to get a second identity as FakRuddin so that I could make some posts as shiv and get F.uddin to say "Good post by shiv!" and " I agree wholeheartedly with shiv" or get F. to appear at timely intervals with some breaking news only to say "shiv had anticipated this long ago. Congratulations shiv"
Admins..
Yesterday after posting one IB4TL, my post count was 230. Today after getting the opportunity to repeat the same my post count is still at 230. Any bug in the software.
Post counts go down when threads in which users have posted are deleted. It is likely that the thread where you IB4TL'd was deleted.
But I never understood one thing, what is this fascination with post counts?

Isn't it ironic that ppl IB4TL on a thread when they know that their posts won't increase by IB4TL'ing

In fact if you change your default viewing theme of the forum, the buttons change. I selected a "Sublite" theme in the UserCP -> Board preferences and now I see the buttons both at the left, one says "New Topic" and one says "Post Reply".
So far I like this theme after years of staring at gray webpages.
However, the server is in the UK and BRF located in the US, most members are Indian or Indian origin is because of our modest effort to help globalisation and make it a global village since we are all villagers - the BRF village!
Good suggestion, but may take some time to implement.
this is the __th time you are getting this good suggestion ?
Hey all the (n-1) suggestions were about the position of the button. This is the first one about the actual button image!
It appears that BRF is using this button set (http://www.phpbbhacks.com/download/838)
Now this set also has a button called "new topic". The easiest way to change 'new post' to 'new topic' would be by making the file name of the "new topic" button exactly same as the "new post" and then uploading that image.
Iam sure the many ity-vity kind on BRF can do it in a jiffy, unless its a ploy by the ebil jirga to keep the jingo's alert.

errr... no jagan. we have been crying for changing the wording from "new post" to "new thread" for the last one year.
My lord, I think I can unearth numerous posts and one email as evidence.
in fact, no one said a word about the position of the button till you changed the position couple of weeks back. I'm still mystified (and I'm sure many BRFites share this mystification) as to why you changed the position of the buttons.

Paarth, the question was rhetorical - and based on the very visible 'location' on your profile.
I am way too old to be pulling anything but my grey hair

Oh, come on Archan!! I fought the evil borg, and even wrote a novel. Doesn't that tell you something?

Sorry. Should go in the whine thread I guess.
