I finally got on this morning.  I didn't do anything different, it just started working.  I suggest you just keep trying.  Right now, I am getting an internal server error, so there is something going on with the server at the moment. 

Actually, after looking at it, that is probably due to something I used to play an online game.  So, posting that was an error on my part.  Most of the time I just get never ending loading followed by a connection to the server was reset message.  There is nothing messed up with my computer.  I have checked my settings and they are fine. 

It is obviously not just me, either.  Other people have reported this issue.  And I have tried IE as I mentioned.  No go.  I can get on every other website I try.  I have been told that I show up as online at PMBD in the index. 

I haven't been able to get on in days either.  I cleared my cache, tried the dreaded IE and nothing.  No PMBD, no MATY.  I can get to the booty directly, but not to either forum.

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:60080.

No. Walt owns the domain name he bought and the server.  That is it.  Pescado was an admin on the old site and just backed everything up and moved it.  People were deleting their files and posts right and left, anyway.  It remains to be seen if Walt will do anything with the site now.  I still cannot access it.

Congratulations! I am so happy for all of you guys. 

Can I post some of this information over at the official BBS?  I would like to see them answer this.  I will state that I found this at insim and direct people how to find the full thread and just copy and paste relevant parts that I will make clear I did not write.

LOL! Thanks.  We can start a mutual admiration society.  Your sims really are wonderful.  I cannot make a good sim to save my life.  The diamonds were done by request, I did the original hoop ones because I wanted a single earring for my guys and couldn't find one anywhere.   It made me mad, so I just learned to do it myself.  I really ought to convert the hoops and studs for teens.  

Yeah, paleoanthropologist is correct! I am getting a degree in that.

Hey! You used my earring! That is so cool! Thanks.  It probably doesn't need Nightlife, I was confused about the whole BS and EP thing when I made it.  

Your sims are gorgeous!

Well, the principle would be exactly the same.  You can look at the wine glass tutorials here and modify them to make a basket.  They are pretty simple tutorials.
