Introducing ... me.

Well, it's what you asked for.:nod:

Not sure what else you want to know.

Welcome from Alaska. I'm curious about your username. Did you come up here for a hike?

I was born there. I have a feeling I'll be going back.

Welcome home. If you wish, we have an introduction template you can use.

Wow, that's all kind of personal.:) I've never told anybody that much about myself.

OK, I'm a man. Probably older than most members, but nowhere close to being old. That's right, I'm a walking contradiction. Sometimes I'm pretty good at contradicting others.
Oops, forget that last part.

So why does this quick reply always popup a window asking if I want to leave the page? I've never seen that before. Is it the new version of vBulletin doing it? --- never mind, it didn't do it this time
P.S. - might want to update the site copyright at the bottom of the page. Sorry, I just noticed it.
P.P.S. - I hope I'm not irritating you yet.

I figured out what causes it. If the autosave hasn't saved your changes you will get the popup. You never lose the changes anyway as it's standard behavior for the edit window to capture every keystroke. Seems like a useless "feature". I wonder if turning off autosave will get rid of it? We can turn that off in our settings, can't we?

So asking you where you were born would be too personal? When did you leave?

I think he was referring to the introduction template.

What Rick said:)
I was taken away when I was 2 years old. But they say once you've been to AK you will always come back. It gets in your blood. In my case I was born with it in my blood. Before it became a state. I'm a native-born Alaskan (not native) more than a US citizen.
