How to copy posts from the old Bulletin Board

If anyone wants to help copy posts from the old BB I would really appreciate it.

-Open both BB's, each in it's own window or tab (depending upon the browser you are using) so you can move back and forth between them.
-On the new BB start a new topic.
-On the old BB open the topic you wish to copy.
-Click on the "quote" button as though you want to reply with a quote.
-Highlight and copy the "Subject" from the old topic then paste it into the new topic.
-Highlight and copy the main text from the old topic then paste it into the new topic. You may have to scroll down to the bottom of the text and then highlight from the bottom up.
-Click "Submit" on the new BB topic and you are done.

This will not only bring over any text but also most pictures and links. Since it copies over as a quote it will also give credit to the original poster. See below for an example.

This was run with about 35 rigs during the D37/BRP Fun Run to Save Johnson Valley December 13th & 14th, 2008.

It is a great trail that is really a series of obstacles that have been broken and linked together. Mike Koher and friends put this together over the last year.

As the pictures show it is suitable for all rigs. There were even a couple of open diff FJ Cruisers that did most of the trail (with some damage and stucks). I would recommend a rear locker and rock sliders/rock bumpers to avoid damage and a lot of rock stacking.

Of course, there are unlimited opportunities for harder lines and obstacles. Mike has put in many red stakes to mark the official route, but there are optional routes all around and most obstacles can be bypassed.

This trail is in the southeast arm of Cougar Buttes and is a lot like "Moab comes to Johnson Valley". There are lots of fun ledges and slabs.

I captured my favorite pictures from several websites and put them into a gallery here:

You can also quote several old BB posts into 1 new BB post by simply hitting the back button on the old BB and opening another post with the "quote" button, repeating the copy and paste procedure as many times as you like, then clicking the "Submit" button on the new BB topic or reply. At some point the topic or reply will get too long, so just split it up with a new reply once in a while.

Also, you can't nest more than 4 quotes in the text, so if you run into that you will get an error. You can edit out one of the quotes if you know how. Otherwise, just don't copy that post.

Below is an example.

Well... that gives us about 6 months to schedule a trip.

This could also be a day trip.

Sounds good to me. This should be discussed at the next meeting and set up. I don't think that I will be attending but a day trip may be OK. Of course it will be on a Saturday so it would be a maybe.

Looks like fun to me. Hey, I know the guy that built that red x90. Interesting to see it on the trails down here. He lives up in OR.

Anyway, I'm up for a trip out there. \:D/

THE BENT DRIVESHAT! That was funny. I enjoyed playing follow the leader with you and Mike (the fullsize Chevy). I wish I had my kids with me. It would have been a great place to teach them to drive.

There's a pic of you too:
