I'm lost. I take it my old log-in is out of date and started the subscription process. I got to the page where it asked me to write something or post something. No skip or continue. Lost in the maze. Could the issue be that I don't have Discord loaded. I came upon reference to it later. There may be new features but the old model was easier for a galah. I think I signed up to discord successfully - I got taken to https://discord.com/channels/@me - where to from there.

Hey Bob, sorry for the frustration. I get it...

If you have successfully created a discord account, which is sounds like you have, then click on this Swaylock's Discord invitation https://discord.gg/fR8Eu46vt6

That should take you into the Swaylock's Forums...

Let me know if continue to have problems.

Thanks Mike. I just successfully made a reply post and a new post. Perhaps it is a generational/luddite thing, I can see the logic of the side panel of threads and access to a specific thread to the right. Very convenient but at the same time a bit overwhelming/stimulating - partly due to grey on white and four columns of content. If it was a board, I'd say lets go for a plain white colour with subtle coloured font and drop the side fins for simplicity (I find 80s board garish). It may just be a matter of getting used to it, but there is a lot going on there.

Good to hear bob. Glad you got it. What can I say. I’m guessing you’re old enough to know the only constant in life is change. Just gotta roll with it.

I’m having trouble with the invite too. Keeps telling me password invalid. Have great hopes for the rebirth of Swaylocks. Learned a lot here over the many years it was flowing.

Hey John, that's strange. A few questions...

1. Are you on a laptop or mobile device? If mobile, you may want to install the Discord app before you click the invite link in the newsletter.

2. Do you have a discord account already? If so the link should take you directly to the server. If not, it will prompt you to create a new account.

3. Are you sure you're clicking this link? https://discord.com/invite/fR8Eu46vt6

Hope some of that helps...let me know if not and I'll keep helping.

Mike

The invite worked for me. I just downloaded Discord for the first time, and Swaylocks is my first, uh, subscription?

Thank you! Oddly, as soon as I signed up for Substack it automatically subscribed me to Swaylocks, a site I haven't visited or posted to in years. I guess somehow it grabbed Swaylocks from my email address. Not sure. But I'm stoked to be back on Swaylocks! Now I need to make a new board. :)
